App4SHM vs GPF Bubble Level

App4SHM is a smartphone application for structural health monitoring (SHM) of bridges or other civil structures to assess their condition after a catastrophic event or when required by authorities and stakeholders. The application interrogates the phone’s internal accelerometer to measure structural accelerations and applies artificial intelligence techniques to detect damage in almost real time. App4SHM resulted from academic research developed at Lusófona University, in particular the Civil Research Group and the Department of Computer Engineering and Information Systems.

GPF Bubble Level is a minimal, high-contrast spirit level app for iPhone, built around real-time accelerometer data. It uses Core Motion to read device gravity and translates movement into a smooth on-screen bubble inside a circular level grid. The interface is intentionally clean: black background, white elements, Menlo typography, and a compact layout designed for quick visual alignment in everyday use. Key features: - Real-time level detection using accelerometer/device motion - Smooth bubble movement with light filtering for stability - Tilt angle readout in degrees - Live X/Y gravity values for reference - Dedicated Info screen with app icon, title, and version/build footer - Custom monochrome app icon (white on black) consistent with the app style Design goals: - Fast glanceability - No clutter - Strong visual contrast for indoor/outdoor visibility - Coherent monochrome identity across UI and iconography Technical notes: - SwiftUI-based UI - CoreMotion integration via observable motion manager - Motion privacy usage description configured - Build/version shown directly from bundle metadata This app is ideal for quick leveling checks on surfaces, shelves, frames, and small DIY tasks, with a focused UX that prioritizes readability and responsiveness.
