Your phone is full of sensors. Data Tap helps you put them to creative use. Connect Data Tap to a computer on the same network and use OSC to stream what your phone senses: tilt, rotation and acceleration, fingers on a pad, loudness and pitch from the microphone, brightness and movement from the camera, hand position and pinch, facial expression, distance, and even GPS speed, heading and altitude. Every value arrives the same way: a number from -1.0 to 1.0, on an address you can read and copy. Nothing needs to be guessed on the receiving end. WHAT IT SENDS Motion: tilt, rotation, acceleration Touch: three fingers, with latch Proximity: on or off, a hand's width away Microphone: loudness, pitch, timbre, onsets Camera: brightness, color, movement Hand pose: position, pinch, openness Face tracking: expression and head tilt, plus every ARKit blend shape Depth: continuous distance, out to three meters Stage position: where you have moved, within two meters GPS: speed, heading, altitude, position SHAPED BEFORE IT LEAVES Every value has its own smoothing to calm a busy signal, and jitter to excite a steady one. Two global sliders scale all of them at once. A graph on every row clearly displays the outbound signal. ONE PORT EACH, OR ALL TOGETHER Send everything to one port, or individual values to different ports, up to fifty above the main one, allowing different tools that bind their own port to each receive different signals from Data Tap at the same time. RECORD IT Start a recording and every value is written to a CSV file with an unbroken timeline, ready to open and reuse anywhere. Each CSV file lands in your Files app, yours to copy and use. BUILT FOR A STAGE Freeze holds every value where it is. Pocket mode blacks out the screen and keeps sending, so the phone can go in a pocket. Awake stops the screen locking in the middle of a performance. FREE OR PRO Motion, touch and proximity are free, with no time limit and nothing held back. Data Tap Pro is a single purchase, once, that adds every remaining sensor along with CSV recording, pocket mode, and global controls. PRIVATE BY CONSTRUCTION Data Tap has no accounts, no analytics and no third-party code. What it reads is only sent as the OSC on your own network or recorded as a CSV to your own files. The camera, position, and microphone are read only while you have those sources switched on with permissions granted, and what they see and hear never leaves the device beyond the raw OSC values you decide to send. Requires iOS 15 or later.
