Alex Geek App is the official companion app for motorized cosplay props by AlexGeekWorkshop. Connect to your device over Bluetooth Low Energy and take complete control of every parameter — from motor speed and sound volume to battery monitoring and firmware updates. Built for makers, cosplayers, and enthusiasts who want precision control over their builds. KEY FEATURES - Bluetooth LE Connection Scan for nearby props, connect in one tap, and see real-time connection status. - Live Telemetry Monitor current, voltage, and power draw in real time. Know exactly what's happening inside your prop. - Battery Management Choose from multiple battery configurations — 8x AA Lithium, 9x AAA NiMH, 3x 18650 Li-Ion, and more.

Overcurrent protection automatically shuts down the motor if the chain jams — reset it from the app when you're ready. - Sound Effects Fine-tune volume for built-in sound effects. Persistent settings that remember your preferences between sessions. - Over-The-Air Firmware Updates Keep your prop up to date with the latest features and improvements. Just connect to Wi-Fi and tap Update — no cables, no computer required. - Dark, Cosplay-Ready Interface Designed to work under convention lighting with a high-contrast display that looks as good as your prop.
