Trim functionality #9

My SO currently uses a ad-ridden proprietary voice recorder app because no FOSS app I have found on F-droid supports easily trimming the recording.

How it works in the other app is that you can "edit" a recording which presents you with a screen where you can drag the start and end point of the recording. This slider contains the waveform of the recording to aid in locating interesting timestamps of the recording.
You can preview your "cut" at any point for quick iteration; playing back the audio with your custom start and end timestamps. When you're happy with the result, you can save the recording and it overwrites the uncut recording in-place.

Would it be possible to add such functionality to this app?

I've honestly found it baffling that no other FOSS app has this functionality as I find it to be quite an essential feature for even a simple recording app but I also do not frequently use voice recording apps. Perhaps implementing this is harder than I imagine; I am no expert on media processing on Android.

Hello and thank you for the feedback I am planning to implement this in a future version
