Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both apps, side by side — with what reviewers say about each.
MiSensorKit
Read full descriptionHide full description
MiSensorKit is a multi-modal field recording application designed for iOS devices. It enables synchronized capture of multiple sensor streams within a single recording session, making it the ideal portable tool for building rich multi-modal datasets in the field. CAPTURE MULTIPLE MODALITIES RGB frames saved as high-resolution JPEGs (up to 1024px) LiDAR depth maps stored as UInt16 millimeter buffers Full camera intrinsics and 6-DoF extrinsic pose logged every frame as JSON Real-time 3D body skeleton tracking with joint positions via ARKit Front-facing selfie camera capture Gaze estimation and eye tracking data GPS location with latitude, longitude, altitude, speed, heading, and accuracy metrics IMU data including accelerometer, gyroscope, fused attitude (roll/pitch/yaw), and gravity vector Ambient light intensity and color temperature estimates Barometric pressure readings synchronized with every frame FLEXIBLE RECORDING SETUP Choose which modalities to record, configure sampling frequency from 1 to 60 Hz, and select output resolution from 224 to 1024 px. A built-in preflight check alerts you to missing permissions or hardware limitations before you start. Monitor sensor status, live FPS, stream health, and session size in real time while recording. BUILT-IN DATA VIEWER Browse and inspect recorded sessions directly on your device. Scrub through individual frames to view RGB images, depth maps, camera metadata, skeleton data, and sensor readings — without needing to transfer files to a computer. EXPORT AND SHARE Export any session as a ZIP archive directly from the app, or share the raw folder via Files and AirDrop. A session summary sheet appears automatically after each recording with key statistics and one-tap sharing options. STRUCTURED OUTPUT FORMAT Each recording session creates an organized folder structure with separate directories for RGB, depth, camera pose, skeleton, GPS, IMU, and metadata — ready for your processing pipeline. REQUIREMENTS iPhone or iPad with LiDAR sensor (required for depth recording only) iOS 26.0 or later Designed for researchers and developers who need a portable, easy-to-use tool for multi-modal data collection without external hardware or complex calibration setups.
PocketSpec

PocketSpec is a read-only viewer for comfortably reading the Markdown specifications inside your GitHub repositories, right on your iPhone and iPad. Check the design docs and specs stored in your project's docs/ folder anytime, anywhere. It isn't tied to a single repository — register multiple projects as a "spec bookshelf" and switch between them to read. ■ Key features • GitHub integration (read-only) Sign in with GitHub and securely fetch only the contents of the repository, branch, and documentation folder you specify. It never edits or commits files. • Clean Markdown rendering Supports headings, lists, code blocks, tables, images, and links. Optimized so even long specifications are comfortable to read. • Mermaid diagram rendering Renders Mermaid code such as flowcharts and sequence diagrams as real diagrams. Tap to zoom to full screen. • Manage multiple projects Set a repository, branch, and display folder per project. The last opened project and document are restored on launch. • Offline support Once fetched, content is cached on device, so you can read your most recently synced specs even with no connection. • Secure by design Limits the visible content to the folder you specify; it never reads source code or configuration files. Access tokens are stored only in the device Keychain and are never sent to any external server. ■ Who it's for • Engineers who want to quickly check their project's specs on the move or before a meeting • Anyone who wants to read documentation from multiple development repositories in one place • Anyone who wants to safely view private-repository design docs from their iPhone ■ Before you start Using this app requires a GitHub account and read access to the target repositories. To read private repositories, install the dedicated GitHub App on the target repository (the only permission required is Contents: read-only).

Verdict
MiSensorKit and PocketSpec are too close to call on the numbers: across 5 compared parameters — price, ads, in-app purchases and device support among them — neither pulls far enough ahead to decide it. What separates them is feature set and interface, not measurable difference.
