GhostLab is a complete paranormal investigation toolkit for iPhone and iPad, built for night hunts. ONE HOME, SIX INSTRUMENTS, NO ADS MODES • EMF. DMP-style meter with green-to-red bars, recalibration, and radar view. • EVP. Clean microphone capture. • Spirit Box. Rapid scan-style carrier mixed with your mic. • Spirit Speak. Ask aloud and watch experimental replies condense out of dead-channel static on the analog-footage screen, timestamped like recovered tape. ITC, not a conversation with the dead. • Spirit Music Box. Multi-sensor chime reacting to EMF, motion, and proximity anomalies. • SLS. ARKit stick-figure tracking that records the camera feed: figures and captions burned into the video, your microphone on the soundtrack. Recording survives locks and interruptions. Saving is instant. A12 or later. Pro, with a free trial. CREATOR MODE (PRO) Arm Creator, investigate in any mode, and a rolling 60-second screen plus mic buffer captures the moment. • Edit and Share. Export the last 60s into the in-app clip editor. • Trim, mute/volume, 9:16, 1:1, 16:9 crop, watermark, captions, speed, freeze, color grade, title cards, multi-highlight stitch. • Share to Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and more. • Clips attach to the session Library for later play, edit, and share. TOOLS FOR THE HUNT • Knock detector, Motion-Grid, Word Burst (Pro) • Estes Method workflow and Vigil overnight counters (Pro) • Team sessions. Offline push-to-talk radio and tag sharing (Pro) • Night Vis, torch, red-light UI, dBA level chips (approximate phone meters) • Verify instruments. Optional pre-session control checks LIBRARY AND EVIDENCE Stop and Save keeps audio, video, tags, notes, transcripts, and clips with each session. Review playback, edit clips, export PDF reports (Pro), and keep investigations organized by location, weather, and investigators. GHOSTLAB PRO Core recording stays free. GhostLab Pro is a one-time unlock, no subscription, for Creator Mode, Spirit Speak, SLS, advanced tools, voice packs, custom word lists, PDF reports, Enhance EVP, and more. Most Pro features include one free try. HONEST BY DESIGN GhostLab is for investigation and entertainment. Sensor tools measure the environment (phones, metal, HVAC, and movement all create hits). Dictionary and spirit-box style features are experimental ITC techniques, not scientific proof of spirits. Always review evidence yourself. Requires iOS 17 or later. SLS requires A12 or newer. Some tools need camera, microphone, motion, location, or local network permission. Guides, the full mode tour, and support: ghostlab.icu
