BaseStats is the friendly way to understand your iPhone or iPad — no jargon required. Meet your buddy A little character that IS your phone, reacting in real time to how it feels: sleepy on low battery, warm when it's hot, stuffed when storage is full, happy when all is well. Is my phone OK? A single 0–100 health score answers the question everyone has, backed by a plain-English breakdown of exactly what's helping or hurting — storage, temperature, battery, power mode and more. Every stat, explained See a value you don't recognise? Tap the ⓘ next to it for a calm, one-paragraph explanation. IDFV, BSSID, RSS, ProMotion — all in plain language a non-techie can actually read. Five tidy tabs • Identity — your device's vendor identifier (IDFV), with a clear explainer of why apps can't see the hardware UUID. Copy, share, or scan as a QR code. • Device — model, chip, OS, kernel, display, ProMotion refresh rate and more. • Live — a real-time CPU graph plus memory, thermal state, and live accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer and barometer. • Storage — a clean gauge, the honest free-vs-purgeable breakdown, and what BaseStats itself uses. • Network — Wi-Fi name, IP addresses, and cellular carrier with the current radio (5G, LTE). Share anything Export a full diagnostic report as Markdown, JSON or CSV to send to a developer or IT — or share a beautiful spec card image of your device. Private by design Everything runs on your device. BaseStats never tracks you, never asks to, and shares nothing. No advertising identifier is ever read. Your data stays yours. Now in 24 languages Switch language instantly, right inside the app — no restart needed. Designed for iOS 17+ · iPhone, iPad and Mac · dark-mode native.
