The room goes cold. Your EMF meter spikes. Something moves in the LiDAR scan that wasn't there a second ago. Animavox is the paranormal investigation toolkit for hunters who want real data, not cheap jump-scares. Six professional-grade tools in one app. No gimmicks, no fake readings, no juggling four separate apps. WHAT'S IN YOUR KIT • SLS Camera: reveals humanoid skeletal figures hidden in the dark • LiDAR 3D Scanner: map any room in real-time point clouds and spot shapes the eye misses • EMF Meter: real hardware sensors, real readings, zero cheesy effects • EVP Recorder: capture and isolate voices that shouldn't be there • Spirit Box (VOX): sweep radio frequencies for anomalous responses • Motion Trap: leave your phone watching and get alerted the moment something moves, makes noise, or spikes EMF BUILT FOR REAL INVESTIGATIONS Every other ghost app stops at "detect." Animavox goes further with a complete case management system: • Start a case in seconds: GPS-tagged, timestamped, organized • Log every encounter with intensity levels and notes • Export a professional PDF case file to share or archive • Plan your next hunt with a built-in calendar so you never miss a lead No other paranormal app bundles case files, GPS tagging, and PDF export together with its detection tools. Animavox is the only toolkit that takes you from "something happened" to a documented, shareable case file. PERFECT FOR • Paranormal investigation teams who need real documentation • Solo hunters building an evidence archive • Skeptics and believers who want honest sensor data, not theatrics • Anyone who's outgrown novelty "ghost radar" apps WHY HUNTERS CHOOSE ANIMAVOX We built Animavox because every other app in this space either fakes its readings for entertainment or hands you one tool and calls it a day. Animavox uses your device's real sensors (camera, LiDAR, magnetometer, microphone) and wraps every tool into one dark, focused, field-ready interface. Then it goes a step further and helps you document your investigation like a professional. FREE TO START Download and try the core toolkit free.

Phantom Trace turns your phone into a complete paranormal investigation kit—built for investigators, ghost-hunting teams, and the endlessly curious. Whether you're sweeping an abandoned building, running an overnight at a known haunt, or chasing a story no one else will touch, Phantom Trace helps you capture what happens, keep it organized, and make sense of it afterward. LIVE SENSOR MONITORING Read your device's environmental sensors in real time—electromagnetic field, motion, audio level, barometric pressure, and compass heading—with clean readouts and live min/avg/max tracking. Tag anything unusual the moment it happens. CAPTURE EVIDENCE Document photos, video, and ambient audio with a purpose-built capture overlay, so every piece of evidence stays tied to the case and the moment it was recorded. BUILD A CASE Create detailed investigations: name the location, set the type and priority, schedule sessions, assign your equipment kit, and run solo or with a team. Every reading, photo, and note lands on one case timeline and evidence board. AI-POWERED REVIEW When the session ends, let the built-in analysis surface anomaly scores, patterns, and notable findings across your readings—so you spend less time scrubbing data and more time investigating. MAP THE UNKNOWN Explore an interactive map of haunted locations, sightings, and regional intel, and pin your own GPS-tagged investigation sites. REVIEW THE FULL TIMELINE Trace every event from session start to final evidence review, filter by sensors, evidence, or AI findings, and revisit any case anytime.
