Get your utility apps from fdroid. All open source and actually do what you want them to.

    Is it more or less a replacement for Play Store?

    It's a fully open sourced app store for android. The code of all apps in the F-Droid repository are reviewed before being made available. So this is why the F-Droid version wont have these settings, as it'll be an older version.

    Any f droid recorder that is actively developed?

    Simplest path is probably to use the old simple mobile tools recorder app on fdroid, which won't be getting any updates. Fossify will likely release their recorder app very shortly, which will essentially be the next update for the smt recorder app.
    It is already under active development, they just haven't gotten the first release yet.

    Edit:
    Another interesting one is DroidRec. It is usually used and seen as a screen recorder, but it has three simple toggles for screen video, device audio, and microphone. If you turn off screen and device audio, it becomes a very nice voice recorder.

    I just tried that app and every time I try to record from mic only the app just closes when hitting the record button and it creates a 0 byte file. Does this actually work for anyone else?

    Which of the two?
    DroidRec works for me. I have quality on normal, codec on default, and record stereo. Selecting just mic or device audio and mic records to an m4a file.

    E: smt simple voice recorder v5.12.3 works fine on default settings too for me

    I meant droidrec. Same settings for me but keeps crashing when hitting record. Audio recorder from f droid (white background with black microphone logo) seems to be working for me though.
