Magnetick

Magnetick turns your iPhone into a precision magnetic field meter. If you've ever wondered whether your watch, tools, or jewelry have become magnetized, Magnetick gives you a clear, glanceable answer in seconds. Hold your iPhone near any object and Magnetick reads the surrounding magnetic field in microtesla (ΞΌT) using your device's built-in magnetometer β€” the same sensor your compass uses, but exposed in a way you can actually read and interpret. KEY FEATURES β€’ Live magnetic field reading β€” a single, easy-to-read number, updated in real time β€’ Guided mode β€” Magnetick stabilizes its baseline, then tells you plainly when something nearby is affecting the field β€’ Real-time chart β€” watch how the field changes as you move your phone around an object β€’ Built-in sensor map β€” Magnetick knows where the magnetometer chip sits inside your specific iPhone model, so you can hold the right part of the phone close to what you're testing β€’ Beautiful dark interface designed to be readable at a glance WHO IT'S FOR β€’ Watch owners checking whether their mechanical watch has been magnetized (a common cause of timekeeping errors) HOW TO USE 1. Open Magnetick and let the reading stabilize for a few seconds 2. Slowly move your iPhone close to the object you want to test 3. Watch the number β€” a sharp rise means the object is generating or carrying a magnetic field PRIVACY Magnetick reads only the magnetometer sensor and runs entirely on your device. No data is collected, transmitted, or stored. No accounts, no ads, no tracking.
