BCR-GUI is a call recordings manager app, started as companion app for the great BCR (Basic Call Recorder) Android application and grown up to support many other call recorders:
To manage BCR (and other call recorders) recordings, you need to use a file manager... and that's not so user-friendly π. It's hard to "extract" call informations from audio filename, and it's even harder to search them when the list grows.
Such a feature was already requested, but chenxiaolong (the author of BCR) wants to keep BCR Basic; and I do agree with him! Call recording on Android is a hard work, and I'd like (and hope) him to stay focused on it... recordings management is a job made for BCR-GUI π. Other call recorders never had one.
If used with BCR, BCR-GUI needs BCR v.1.49 (or newer) to work at its best; that version features the new JSON call metadata file, used by BCR-GUI to read detailed call info and show them in its call list. In case of missing JSON file (eg. recordings done before 1.49 or when using another recording app), BCR-GUI will try to extract call data from recording filename. You can customize the format of the filename being parsed.
BCR-GUI does not need root access to work. \ It only needs READ access to the directory used by BCR to save recordings. At the first start, it asks you to select your recordings directory (using the well-known Android SAF dialogs) and allow read access to it.
It does not need Internet access at all. \ NOTE: this may change in the future if an auto-update feature will be added, but actually the app can't send/receive anything to/from internet.
(optional) It needs Contacts permission to update recordings names with contacts or create new contacts for recordings from unknown callers. Feel free to deny the permission: app will remember you how to enable it the next time you use a feature requiring it.
BCR-GUI is stable and ready for usage!

Other things could be improved and added. \ Feel free to share your thoughts!
BCR-GUI is not available in the PlayStore (...yet).
I'll publish it there if its popularity grows but... since BCR is a Magisk module, and it requires some skills to be installed, I'm sure that you're also able to download & install a simple APK π.
Latest version is available here.
