About

Voltage Divider

This engineering utility calculates unknown values in a voltage divider circuit. It can solve for voltages or resistor values, displaying ideal and actual resistor options. It also shows current, power, and voltage tolerance.

Highlights
  • Solves for Vin, Vout, R1, or R2
  • Resistor picker with actual values
  • Displays ideal resistor value
  • Calculates voltage tolerance
  • Shows current and power consumption

Read full description

A handy engineering utility that solves for voltages or resistor values in a common voltage divider circuit. Enter three terms (out of Vin, Vout, R1 or R2) and this app will solve for the fourth term automatically. The resistor picker will only let you pick from actual resistor values that exist. It's a great time saving tool for quickly selecting resistor values in a switching power supply design or any other circuit that incorporates a voltage divider. When solving for a voltage, select two resistor values and one of the voltages. The remaining voltage will be displayed automatically. The max and min possible voltages will also be displayed based on the resistor tolerances. The current and power through the divider will be displayed at the bottom of the screen. When solving for a resistor value, select two voltages and one resistor value. The remaining resistor value will be displayed in yellow. This is an ideal value. Use the resistor picker to select an actual resistor value close to that ideal value. You can then tell the app to solve for Vin or Vout to see if the resulting voltage meets your design requirements.

About

Chronographer

This app helps you meticulously track the accuracy of your mechanical watches. It records time differences, calculates detailed performance metrics, and visualizes trends with charts and histograms. You can also manage your watch collection, log daily wear, and analyze positional variations.

  • Track mechanical watch accuracy
  • Calculate detailed performance metrics
  • Visualize accuracy with charts and histograms
  • Manage watch collection with notes and photos
  • Log daily watch wear
  • Analyze positional variation
  • Export watch data

Chronographer is for people who enjoy mechanical watches. It does two things: 1. Tracks your watches’ long-term accuracy 2. Records wrist time Chronographer can work with your whole watch collection. Give each watch a name and, optionally, a longer description. Select a picture from your Photos library and add additional notes, such as the watch’s specifications, purchase details, and service history. All information is stored in iCloud and automatically synchronized between your devices. To track a watch’s accuracy, periodically collect data points comparing its indicated time to the current correct time. Chronographer tracks offsets (the difference from the correct time) and daily rate (how many seconds it gains or loses per day). It uses this information to create graphs and histograms that help you visualize your watch’s performance over time. Chronographer also calculates the following metrics: • Average Offset • Max. Positive Offset • Max. Negative Offset • Last Offset • Net Gain/Loss • Best-Fit Rate • Average Rate • Fastest Rate • Slowest Rate • Last Rate • Rate Variance • Best-Fit Rate Drift You can log the watch (or watches) you wear each day. Chronographer’s wrist time tracking feature lets you see which watches you wear the most and how long it’s been since you’ve worn each one. You can use Chronographer to identify positional variation. When you record a data point, include the position (dial up, crown up, etc.) that the watch was stored in. Then, you can restrict the charts and metrics to specific positions and compare the results. Chronographer includes a large digital clock to help when you set your watches. For more information, including a detailed user’s guide, see https://www.rmfrance.net/chronographer

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Chronographer at Free against Voltage Divider's $1.99. Chronographer also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 48 months) and rating (3.0 vs 2.7). Voltage Divider's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 18.6). On review sentiment, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Chronographer is free to download; Voltage Divider costs $1.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Chronographer holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 2.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 3 and 4 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 56% of Voltage Divider's written reviews are positive against 50% of Chronographer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Voltage Divider ships an update every 48 months, Chronographer every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on June 23, 2026 and August 9, 2026 respectively.
