About

Sensor Data Recorder

This utility app records gyroscope, accelerometer, and audio data from your device. Export your recorded data as CSV or M4A files for further processing, particularly for machine learning applications. Your data remains private and is only accessible on your device.

Highlights
  • Record gyroscope and accelerometer data
  • Record audio simultaneously
  • Label recordings for ML workflow
  • Adjust data capture frequency
  • Download or email data
  • Export as CSV and M4A

Read full description

A lightweight utility in order to quickly and securely record CoreMotion gyroscope and accelerometer data together with audio data. CoreMotion data can be downloaded as a CSV (comma separated values) file and audio can be downloaded as a standard m4a file. Your data is only available on your device. Data will not be shared with others and will not be uploaded centrally. Data can then be used for further processing, mostly for machine learning (ML) / deep learning purposes. Key highlights: - Record gyroscope and accelerometer data directly from your phone's CoreMotion module - In parallel, record audio from your phone's microphone - Assign a label to each recording which can be later used in your machine learning workflow - Choose the frequency of the data to be captured per second - Download the captured data or send it via email - Further process the data within your favorite machine learning environment, e.g. using Python

See how your device moves with Acc.elerometer. View live sensor readings, record an experiment and examine the results on your iPhone or iPad. Capture motion on Apple Watch and send recordings to your paired iPhone for charts and CSV export. EXPLORE SIX MEASUREMENTS - Acceleration, including gravity, in G - User acceleration, with gravity removed, in G - Rotation rate around three axes in rad/s - Magnetic field in microteslas - Device attitude: roll, pitch and yaw in radians - Gravity along each axis in G View individual axes and vector magnitude where supported. Follow changing values and review recorded measurements to explore movement, rotation and orientation. RECORD AND REVIEW Choose the measurements you want to capture, then start and stop a recording. On iPhone and iPad, set the measurement interval from 0.1 to 1 second. Open saved recordings to inspect charts, switch between individual axes and vector magnitude for supported measurements, and identify gaps in the data. EXPORT YOUR DATA Export each measurement from a recording as a CSV file with timestamps and axis values. Choose Unix time, spreadsheet serial dates or formatted date strings for your analysis workflow. CAPTURE MOTION ON APPLE WATCH View sensor readings and record selected measurements on your wrist. Send saved recordings to the paired iPhone and follow transfer progress. Add watch face complications to see saved sensor maxima or recording status, and open the app to start a recording from the recording widget. FOR EXPERIMENTS AND EVERYDAY CURIOSITY Explore device motion for a physics demonstration, a development project or your own experiments. Measurements and recordings are stored on your devices. No account is required. Available readings and actual sampling intervals depend on the device and its sensors. Apple Watch recording duration is subject to watchOS background runtime limits. Watch complications show saved values from the app, rather than a continuous live sensor feed.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Acc.elerometer at 100% against Sensor Data Recorder's 50%. Acc.elerometer also leads on rating (5.0 vs 2.3) and update cadence (every 11 months vs every 26 months). Sensor Data Recorder's advantage is ratings volume (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
