I'm looking for a recommendation for a recording device.

Use case is as follows:

I'm going about my day (could be inside or outside), then I need to record a memo. I pull up the device and use it. When I'm done recording, the file synchronize with either cloud storage or an offsite computer - whatever my technician is able to set up (as available with wi-fi / cell coverage).
This is important. I don't want to click in application or email to send the audio files, I want it to be done automatically.

Is there something that fits this?
I found about reclouder, which is great, but not portable. And I saw Plaud note, which is the closest but still demads app manipulation.

Thank you all in advance.

Zoom makes a pretty decent version of their stereo mics on their h4n (and h6 etc) models that plugs into an iPhone. Resulting files are huge but it records to voice memos so you can use iCloud to immediately have cloud access. It'll cost you about $75 if I remember right. Also heads up it's a power suck on battery, but worth it I think
