Device Monitor: iDevice is a toolbox to check your iPhone or iPad. It shows your device specs and live memory, storage and battery readings, and lets you run quick hardware tests by eye and ear. --- WHAT IT DOES --- - Device info Model, chip, RAM, storage, screen and iOS version in one place. - Live readings Battery level and charging state, memory, storage, connection type and thermal state, plus a live graph of the CPU used by this app. - Hardware tests Dead pixel test with solid colours, speaker tones, microphone level, bubble level, compass, barometer, proximity sensor, light meter (relative brightness), GPS accuracy, Bluetooth scanner, keyboard and gesture tests. - Export and widgets Export your device specs as a PDF and add Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets. - Pro (optional subscription) Removes ads and unlocks extra tools: decibel meter, gyroscope, magnetometer, metal detector, pedometer, altitude, thermal state, touch latency, haptics, NFC check, Face ID test, charging analyzer, more display tests, CSV and JSON export and PDF without watermark. --- GOOD TO KNOW --- It does not read battery health or charge cycles: iOS does not give them to apps (see Settings > Battery). Some tests need the right hardware, for example a barometer or a proximity sensor. COMMON QUESTIONS Does it need an account or internet? No account. Everything is read from the device itself; only the optional latency test uses the internet. What can it actually measure? Whatever the device's own sensors expose: level, compass, magnetometer, barometer, gyroscope, ambient light (relative, not lux), microphone level, battery level, storage, memory and the screen's dead-pixel test. Does it show battery health? No. iOS does not let apps read battery health or cycle count. Check Settings > Battery > Battery Health. Is the metal detector real? It reads the magnetometer, the same sensor the compass uses. It reacts to ferrous metal and to magnets. It is not an industrial detector and it will not find gold. Is the decibel reading accurate? It is the microphone's reading, uncalibrated. Good for comparing one room to another, not for a legal noise measurement. Does it change anything on my phone? No. It reads and reports; it does not clean, optimise or modify anything. Terms of Use: https://masaapps360.com/devicemonitor/terms/ Privacy Policy: https://masaapps360.com/devicemonitor/privacy/

About

Code

Read full description

Coden is a remote control for a coding Agent that works on your own computer. You install the Server on the computer and start it over one project. The phone pairs with it by scanning a QR code — and from that moment you no longer have to be at the desk. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Give it a task and watch what the Agent does, line by line. • Approve or reject every change it wants to write. • Browse the project's files, images and Markdown included. • Run the tests and see what failed. • Open the running application in Preview, as if you were at the computer. • Switch a branch, write a commit, look through the history. THE WORK STAYS WITH YOU Neither the project nor the source code is uploaded anywhere. The Agent runs on your computer, under your account, over the directory you gave it. The phone is a window into it, not storage. The connection between the phone and the computer is end-to-end encrypted. When the two cannot see each other directly, our Service passes the traffic — but it cannot read it, because it has no key to it. NO ACCOUNT There is nothing to register and nothing to sign in to. Nothing to forget. WHAT YOU NEED • A computer with macOS, Windows or Linux, and the Server from coden-app.com • The Claude Code CLI and an Anthropic account — you pay for the Agent directly with them Without the Agent the Server still runs: Documents and Preview work, there is just nobody to give a task to. FREE Both the app and the Server are free. We sell nothing inside the app and collect no analytics.
