Read full description

Vibration Meter helps you measure and monitor vibration using your iPhone’s built-in accelerometer. Designed for mechanics, HVAC technicians, factory workers, maintenance teams, and engineers, it gives you fast real-time vibration readings in a simple industrial-style interface. Track live acceleration, RMS vibration, peak values, and vibration trends while inspecting motors, engines, pumps, fans, compressors, and other equipment. Use the live waveform graph and frequency spectrum to better understand vibration behavior and spot abnormal machine movement early. Key Features β€’ Real-time vibration meter using the iPhone accelerometer β€’ Live RMS vibration measurement β€’ Peak vibration detection β€’ X, Y, and Z axis acceleration values β€’ Live vibration waveform graph β€’ Frequency spectrum view β€’ Vibration alarm with sound alert β€’ Session logging for vibration history β€’ CSV export for saved sessions β€’ Simple machine-health style interpretation Who It’s For Vibration Meter is useful for: β€’ Mechanics β€’ HVAC technicians β€’ Maintenance engineers β€’ Factory and plant technicians β€’ Building inspectors β€’ Construction and industrial workers Use Cases β€’ Check motor and fan vibration β€’ Monitor engine vibration β€’ Inspect pumps and compressors β€’ Compare vibration before and after maintenance β€’ Record vibration sessions for later review β€’ Export readings for reports and diagnostics Premium Features Unlock advanced tools including: β€’ Vibration history β€’ CSV export β€’ Frequency spectrum β€’ Custom vibration alarms β€’ Full session recording Important Note Vibration Meter uses your iPhone’s built-in sensors and is intended for general monitoring, inspection, and trend analysis. It is not a substitute for a certified professional vibration instrument when compliance-grade measurement is required.

About

TremorGauge

Features
Read full description

TremorGauge is 100% software, using your iPhone's built-in accelerometer β€” no external hardware required. TremorGauge turns your iPhone into a real-time vibration reference meter for relative equipment and surface checks. Built on the iPhone accelerometer, it estimates vibration intensity in mm/sΒ² with a clean color-coded gauge. KEY FEATURES β€’ Real-time vibration magnitude in mm/sΒ² (millimeters per second squared) β€’ Color-coded gauge: green (still), yellow (light), purple (strong) β€’ Live X / Y / Z axis acceleration values in g β€’ One-tap baseline calibration (subtract ambient noise) β€’ Audible peak alarm with adjustable threshold β€’ Fully offline β€” no network, no tracking, no ads USE CASES β€’ Test machine and equipment vibration β€’ Troubleshoot car / vehicle vibration issues β€’ Compare floor, desk, or furniture vibration changes β€’ Audiophile speaker / driver resonance test β€’ Relative shake awareness β€’ Physics demonstrations PRO FEATURES (optional subscription) β€’ 30-second rolling history curve with peak markers β€’ 100Hz higher-rate sampling mode (5x faster than free) β€’ Persistent baseline that survives app restart β€’ CSV export of full session (timestamp, X, Y, Z, magnitude) β€’ Custom peak alert threshold LIMITATIONS The iPhone accelerometer is not a laboratory-grade instrument. TremorGauge is designed for relative measurements and general awareness, not for safety, regulatory, or risk-monitoring decisions. For calibrated work, use a dedicated piezoelectric or MEMS accelerometer system. PRIVACY All sensor data is processed locally. No audio, video, or location is collected. No analytics, no ads, no account.
