## What is WattBench?

WattBench turns your iPhone into a wireless display, data logger and test bench for the FNIRSI FNB58 USB power meter.

Connect over Bluetooth and watch voltage, current and power live. See what your charger is doing on the USB data lines. Record a whole charge cycle with the phone locked. Then run guided tests that answer real questions: how much a power bank actually holds, how fast a phone really charges, and whether a cable is wasting power.

LIVE
• Big, glanceable voltage, current and power with peak hold
• USB data lines: D+ and D− voltages and the meter's temperature
• Charger detection: Quick Charge, USB PD, Apple, Samsung and BC 1.2 patterns named automatically
• Full-screen chart with V, A, W or all three, up to the last 60 minutes, in portrait or landscape, with pinch to zoom
• Trip counter for energy (Wh) and capacity (mAh) without starting a recording

TESTS
• Power Bank Capacity: compares what a bank really delivers with the mAh on its label
• Device Charge: shows the fast, tapering and trickle phases of a charge, with a battery estimate
• Cable & Charger Check: guides you through load steps with a USB electronic load and grades the resistance of the cable and charger

RECORDINGS AND REPORTS
• Recordings keep running with the screen locked and survive a crash or a Bluetooth drop; dropouts are shown honestly as gaps
• Lock Screen, Dynamic Island and Apple Watch Smart Stack show live readings while you record
• Automatic markers when the charger changes mode or voltage
• Session reports with zoomable charts, range statistics, a power histogram, a voltage-versus-current plot, cumulative energy, temperature and D+/D− over time
• Compare up to four sessions on one chart
• Export PDF reports and CSV files

ALERTS
• Over- and under-voltage, over-current, over-power, current below, voltage drop, disconnect, over-temperature and "fast charge lost", with presets
• Banners in the app, notifications in the background, with Stop & save during a recording

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No account, no ads, no analytics, no network access. Your recordings stay on your iPhone.

REQUIREMENTS
