Kashf Lens turns your iPhone into a multi-sensor exploration tool. Visualize real-time data from three built-in sensors - magnetometer, microphone, and camera - presented through a sleek, immersive interface. IMPORTANT: Kashf Lens reads raw sensor data from your iPhone's hardware. It is NOT a professional inspection device and does NOT reliably locate objects inside walls. Sensor readings are influenced by many environmental factors and should be treated as exploratory data, not definitive results. WHAT THE SENSORS MEASURE: MAGNETOMETER Reads magnetic field intensity in microteslas using your iPhone's built-in magnetometer. Displays real-time fluctuations as you move your device near surfaces. Magnetic field changes may be caused by nearby electronics, metal structures, Earth's field variations, or other environmental sources. Uses Kalman filtering for smoother readings. SOUND FREQUENCY ANALYZER Records audio from your iPhone's microphone when you tap a surface. Analyzes the frequency spectrum using FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) to compare sound characteristics. Different surface materials produce different acoustic responses. CAMERA SURFACE INSPECTOR Uses your iPhone's camera with image processing to highlight visual textures, edges, and surface patterns in real time. Applies saliency detection algorithms to identify areas of visual interest on surfaces. FEATURES: - Real-time sensor data visualization - Room-by-room session logging - Advanced haptic feedback (Core Haptics) - Dark, immersive interface optimized for OLED - 100% offline - no data leaves your device - Educational sensor exploration WHO USES KASHF LENS: - Curious minds exploring how phone sensors work - Students learning about magnetism and acoustics - DIY hobbyists experimenting with sensor readings - Paranormal enthusiasts and Ruqyah practitioners - Anyone interested in environmental sensor data Results vary based on device model, environmental conditions, and surface materials. Kashf Lens is an educational sensor exploration app. It does not replace professional tools or inspection equipment. Your data never leaves your device. Full privacy, always offline.

REAL SITUATIONS WallScan WAS BUILT FOR The carpenter restoring an old beam โ€” about to cut into hundred-year-old timber full of forgotten nails. WallScan spikes every time a nail comes near the surface, saving your saw blade. The electrician working blind โ€” the junction box used to be there, but the drywall got patched and painted. WallScan locates the screws so you don't punch a new hole off target. The homeowner mounting a TV โ€” slide your phone across the wall, watch the meter peak, drill into solid wood every time. The renter who can't make mistakes โ€” WallScan tells you exactly where the studs are, so the shelf goes up on the first try. The DIY furniture maker reclaiming old pallets โ€” find the buried nails before they ruin your planer or table saw blade. HOW IT WORKS Your iPhone has a built-in magnetometer โ€” the same sensor that powers the compass. Metal screws and nails disturb the local magnetic field. WallScan reads those disturbances in microtesla (ยตT), shows them on a precision analog meter, and triggers a haptic and sound alert when you pass over one. KEY FEATURES - Live magnetic field meter in microtesla with a smooth analog needle - Color-coded scale, green to red as you get closer to metal - Haptic vibration plus audio tone when a stud is detected - Adjustable sensitivity for plaster, drywall, plywood and hardwood - Visual scan trace showing your sweep path - Calibration mode for clean, drift-free readings - 100% offline, works anywhere with no internet - Clean LCD-style interface, distraction-free TIPS FOR BEST RESULTS - Take off your phone's magnetic case and any MagSafe accessory - Calibrate by waving the phone in a figure-8 if readings drift - Move slowly across the surface, around 5 cm per second - Sweep both horizontally and vertically PRIVACY WallScan never collects your location, microphone, camera or any personal data. The magnetometer is a passive sensor that does not transmit anywhere. Your scans live and die on your device. Stop guessing. Stop drilling holes you'll regret. SUBSCRIPTION INFORMATION WallScan offers two auto-renewable subscription options to unlock Pro features (Unlimited wall scans, Pro sensitivity mode, Find studs / nails / pipes, No ads): - WallScan Pro Weekly โ€” $4.99 per week - WallScan Pro Yearly โ€” $29.99 per year (about $0.58 per week, save 88%) Payment will be charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions automatically renew at the same price unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage and cancel your subscriptions by going to your Apple ID account settings after purchase.
