Generate various periodic signals with different waveforms with adjustable frequency and amplitude. These are used to test electronic circuits such as amplifiers and filters. Also suitable for musicians to tune their instruments. As soon as a note sounds, the integrated tuner recognizes the pitch and displays the note name and deviation. For any instrument that produces an even tone. A metronome also helps you to practise. Drive insects away or compare your hearing ability with your friends and relatives and share your results! Or watch others straining their ears to find the sounds that cannot locate you. Party fun is guaranteed! optional features (Purchase): - free of Ads - manual frequency input - support app functionality for connected Bluetooth devices, e.g. speaker - different signals - white/pink noise - tuner for tuning instruments (real-time tone recognition C1-C8) with tuning whistle - metronome for a steady tempo - note/tone for frequency - Left/right channel, stereo - create a tone sequence for playing several different frequencies in particular time slot - loop for tone sequence - save and delete tone sequences - load saved tone sequences - send your tone sequence as an audio file (.caf format) - option to compress audio files Attention: If you want to share your results with others, first test your audible frequencies, then mark under the speakers your lowest audible tone and your highest audible tone (stored only temporarily).

Blinkode sends and reads Morse code in TWO alphabets — international A–Z and Thai. Everything runs on your device. No internet, no account. THAI MORSE CODE Thailand has had its own Morse standard since 1 November 1912, created so telegraph operators could send Thai without transliterating it first. It is still used by Thai amateur-radio operators today. A Morse app that only knows A–Z simply cannot carry a Thai sentence. • Type in Thai and Blinkode encodes it — no mode switch to find, it reads what you typed • Mixed Thai and English in one message encodes correctly end to end • Full Thai reference table with the source of the standard shown on screen • Because the standard gives one code to letters that sound alike, Blinkode warns you which letters will arrive as another — no silent surprises • Characters outside the standard (Thai numerals) are flagged, not dropped in silence APPLE WATCH Morse was built to be received by feel. Blinkode plays decoded messages as dot-and-dash haptics on your wrist, so you can read a signal without looking at a screen, without sound, and without light. • Replay any message your iPhone decoded, as timed taps • Trigger the iPhone flashlight from your wrist • Practice mode: feel a letter, guess it — the way operators actually learn WIDGETS AND THE ACTION BUTTON The moment you actually need Morse is the moment you do not want to unlock, find an app and type. • SOS widget on the Home Screen or Lock Screen — one tap opens straight into sending, no menus • Put the same SOS in Control Center, or on the Action button of iPhone 15 Pro and later • SOS sent this way never counts against the free daily limit • "Today's code" widget teaches you one Morse letter a day — in Thai or A-Z, matching the alphabet you use in the app • All widgets are free, no Pro needed SEND • Flashlight, on-screen flash, sound or vibration • 5 to 30 WPM • loop mode • one-tap SOS DECODE • Point the camera at a flashing light and read it back live • Auto speed detection • The same signal can be Thai or English — switch how it is read with one tap, no need to capture again • Read blinks from a video clip you already filmed (Pro) FREE • 5 signals a day • unlimited decoding • full reference tables • 3 themes BLINKODE PRO • Remove all ads • unlimited signals • video decoding • unlimited history • all 6 themes Weekly, yearly or one-time lifetime — yearly saves over 90% compared with weekly.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Blinkode at every 2 days against Tone generator's every 5 months. Tone generator's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
