Has Ferumbras returned to his citadel? When is the next double XP weekend? Is your dream knight in the Char Bazaar? The official observer app by CipSoft notifies you of everything that you deem important for your adventures in Tibia - how and when you want it. NEVER MISS A RAID: Always be informed about upcoming and ongoing raids for all of your characters. Define areas you want to track and receive push notifications right when the action starts. BE REMINDED OF EVENTS: Profit from notifications before double XP/skill, rapid respawn or double loot events. Tibia Observer can also let you know when your world succeeds in a world event. GET ALL THE TIBIA NEWS: Choose which official news regarding the game you want to get directly on your phone and decide how you want to be notified. FIND YOUR DREAM CHARACTER: Tell the app what characters you are interested in and receive notifications when they are up for auction in the Char Bazaar. Select filters for game world and type, level, vocation and skill. WATCH THE HOUSING MARKET: Never miss your chance to bid and always be informed about auctions on your world, in your favourite city and for your dream house. Tibia Observer can also be configured to tell you about a change of ownership for any house. OPTIMISE YOUR OFFLINE TRAINING: Always stay notified about how long your characters have been training and how long they can still keep going. MONITOR MINI WORLD CHANGES AND FORUM POSTS: The app is able to scan the game for mini world changes relevant to you. It can also notify you of answers to your posts on tibia.com. BE SAFE WHILE USING THE APP: No password or other sensitive data is needed and stored on your smartphone. Instead, the app is linked to your account via a token which is generated in the account management on the Tibia website. Tibia Observer is the official notification app for the classic MMORPG Tibia. Like the game, the app is developed by CipSoft, the German company that also released TibiaME, the first online role-playing game for mobile phones, and LiteBringer, the first game that fully operates on the Litecoin blockchain.

How loud is it, really? The neighbor's bass at 2 a.m. The workshop that leaves your ears ringing. Decibels gives you a number you can trust — and, when you need it, the evidence to back it up. Decibels is a precision sound level meter built like a real instrument: the IEC 61672 mathematics professionals use, per-device calibration verified against a laboratory-validated reference, and a design that shows what the noise is doing, not just how loud it is. A · C · Z WEIGHTING · FAST · SLOW · IMPULSE · Leq · LCpeak · SEL THE REAL MATHS, IN A REAL METER. MEASURE LIKE AN INSTRUMENT Every reading is a true IEC-weighted level. Choose A, C or Z weighting and Fast, Slow or Impulse response. Sessions record the energy-averaged Leq, the loudest moment, the C-weighted peak, sound exposure level (SEL) and the L10, L50 and L90 statistical levels used in environmental noise reports. An overload lamp shows when the microphone is clipping, and readings below the microphone's own floor are flagged, not faked. Fine-tune against any reference meter with the built-in guide. SEE WHAT THE NOISE IS A number says it's loud; the spectrum says it's a fridge compressor, a bass line or a siren. Switch the meter to a live FFT spectrum analyzer, 1/3-octave bands, or a scrolling spectrogram waterfall that paints frequency against time and identifies a sound by its shape. NIGHT MODE Start it at bedtime, set your wake-up time, and put the phone down. In the morning a quiet-hours report shows your night hour by hour: how quiet it was, when the loud moments happened, and how loud they were. Light on battery. KEEP THE EVIDENCE Set a threshold and get notified when noise crosses it. Turn on Evidence Clips and Decibels saves a 30-second recording around each event — 10 seconds before, 20 after — stored only on your phone, playable from the session, and shared only when you choose. Built for noise complaints. PROTECT YOUR HEARING An exposure dosimeter tracks your daily noise dose against NIOSH, OSHA and EU 2003/10/EC limits: dose percentage, time-weighted average and safe time remaining at the current level. Export sessions to Apple Health as environmental audio exposure. ALWAYS WITHIN REACH A Live Activity keeps the meter on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island while you record, Stop button included. Widgets show your last reading and today's dose. Share a session card in one tap, or export CSV data and PDF reports. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No ads. No tracking. No analytics. Audio is analysed on your device and never leaves it unless you share a clip or card yourself. Evidence Clips are off by default and require explicit consent.
