#705 slice 6. A draft for Eric's approval. No auto-merge: merging redeploys showrecorder.app through Coolify.

What it says now

  • Free:
    • every USB Channel, as mono Broadcast WAV Stems on the iPhone or iPad;
    • generic file names ("USB 07"), though the meters still show the mixer's names live;
    • up to 3 Markers per Take, and 44.1 and 48 kHz;
    • crash recovery, routing-change warnings, and the Apple Watch remote.
  • Pro: a one-time purchase at a launch price of $4.99, with Family Sharing and no subscription. "Launch price" appears once in prose, with no timer and no buyer count. It adds:
    • names and colors from the mixer, and channel names you type;
    • a second Copy on a Drive, with Repair and Drive only;
    • unlimited Markers;
    • the Show report and the Reaper project;
    • 96 kHz;
    • Templates.
  • The 14-day Trial: everything, for 14 days. It still ends back on Free, which now records every channel. The beta FAQ no longer tells testers to start the Trial so that every channel records.
  • Not described as shipping: mixer packs (Debug only), auto-gain and clip protection.

Files

  • Pages: pricing, home (plan cards, two FAQ answers), features, XR18 and X32, the DAW, Mixer Link, Drive and Markers guides.
  • lib/: the features table, structured data (offer price 4.99), llms.txt facts, the mixer FAQs, compare, and the docs index.
  • docs/app-store/listing.md: the Free/Pro paragraph and the Pro IAP description. It's under 4,000 characters with or without the AUTO-GAIN block.
  • The README, CONTEXT.md (Pro entry), and ADR 0004 (the launch price ladder and pack decisions).
  • Site tests updated to the new facts (compare, homeConversion, mixerPages, seo).

Left for Eric to decide

  1. Existing TestFlight-only mentions of auto-gain and clip protection: lib/features.ts "In beta", llms.txt, lib/changelog.ts, and the listing's AUTO-GAIN block and 1.1 What's New line.
  2. lib/screenshots.ts:56: the Pro screenshot's alt text says "Buy Pro for $19.99". The screenshot needs retaking first.
  3. Listing headings (NAMED FROM THE MIXER, A SECOND COPY, READY TO MIX, TEMPLATES) don't say they're Pro. There's room for "(Pro)" only if AUTO-GAIN goes.
  4. Home page lines that mention the report, Reaper or the Drive without saying Pro ("Press stop", "Where do the files go?"), and lib/metadata.ts:60 "each file named from the mixer".
  5. docs/app-store/app-store-connect-steps.md:35 still says $19.99. That's Eric's process doc, so I didn't edit it.

Checked: VERIFY_QUICK=1 ./scripts/verify.sh passes (spelling, vocabulary, website lint, the 185 tests and the build). The copy was drafted by a writing agent and checked against the decisions; it hasn't been looked at in a browser.

…ch price (#705)

The website, the App Store listing draft, the README, CONTEXT.md and ADR 0004
say the 2026-10-15 split: Free records every USB Channel on the Device with
generic names and up to 3 Markers per Take; Pro, a one-time $4.99 launch price
with Family Sharing, adds names and colors from the mixer, typed names, the
Drive, unlimited Markers, the Show report, the Reaper project, 96 kHz and
Templates. Packs, auto-gain and clip protection aren't described as shipping.
Site tests and structured data follow.

Eric's answers on #773:
- Auto-gain and clip protection stay on the site, labeled "In beta, Pro" (features page, llms.txt, changelog).
- The Pro screenshot's alt text has no price until it's retaken at $4.99.
- "With Pro" in the sentence under each listing heading (headings stay short, AUTO-GAIN stays), in the home "Press stop" and "Where do the files go?" lines, and in the X32 page description.
- app-store-connect-steps.md: $4.99 launch, then $9.99 and $19.99, each on Eric's go.

The listing description is 3996 characters with the AUTO-GAIN block, 3753 without.

Eric chose to lead with Free. "Your mixer" instead of XR18 or X32 keeps brand names out of the promotional text (Guideline 2.3.7). 165 of 170 characters.
