9BMetrics connects to your Ninebot One, Kingsong, Gotway or InMotion and logs wheel information: - Speed - Current - Voltage - Power - Pitch and Roll (only in Ninebot) etc. and combines it with the altitude change from the iPhone barometer and the GPS data. Please be aware aware that continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. Also if blocking lock screen is enable battery life will be shorter. Each log may be analyzed graphically or exported in a ZIP file that includes a CSV file for each variable and a .gpx file for the GPS data. A special mode allows to debug connection information between the wheel and the original Ninebot application (or other). Another one simulates a real Ninebot One wheel so you may test applications with out the wheel. An Apple Watch module allows to control your speed, remaining battery and km, distance and time simply from your watch while your phone is secure in your barg or pocket.

Explorer turns your iPhone into a full sensor logger. Start a session and it records your GPS track together with barometric pressure, compass heading, motion and activity data, step counts, and battery state — in the foreground or with the screen locked. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS Everything is stored on your device. No account, no analytics, no ads, no third-party SDKs. Data leaves your phone only when you export it — and you choose where it goes. RECORD • One-tap session recording with live dashboard: position, speed, altitude, G-force • Background tracking that keeps logging while your screen is off • Log points of interest with a tap - or hands-free with Siri: "Log a POI in Explorer" • Per-sensor controls and sample rates to balance detail against battery EXPLORE • Every session drawn on the map in its own color, with POI pins • Live compass, motion, and environment views • Browse every reading in the Data viewer with filters and charts • Preview any session on a map before deleting it EXPORT ANYWHERE • Share ZIPs of CSV or JSONL via Files, AirDrop, or Mail • Or send data straight to your own server: any HTTP(S) endpoint, POST or PUT, custom headers, Bearer/Basic/API-key auth — credentials kept in the iOS Keychain • Filter exports by sensor type, session, and date range • Full schema documentation built into the app (Help → Data Reference) Explorer asks for location (including Always, for background recording) and motion permissions. Recording happens after you tap Start Tracking or open the app.
