Repeller is a simple sound-frequency tool with four presets and a short, audible speaker test. Features • Four presets: 20, 21, 22 and 23 kHz. • A one-second, low-level 1,000 Hz speaker test. • Clear Start/Stop controls and a visible frequency display. • Automatic light and dark themes, adaptive iPhone and iPad layouts, and VoiceOver labels. • Available in 12 languages. Choose a mode and tap Start. Changing modes or leaving the app stops the sound. These mode names identify the existing frequency presets. Their effectiveness in repelling animals has not been verified. High-frequency output depends on the phone speaker. Test speaker stops the current sound and plays a 1,000 Hz tone for one second. It uses the selected audio output, including connected headphones or Bluetooth devices. It does not verify high-frequency output. Adjust the volume using your device’s volume buttons.
