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 • Real-time vibration meter using the iPhone accelerometer • Live RMS vibration measurement • Peak vibration detection • X, Y, and Z axis acceleration values • Live vibration waveform graph • Frequency spectrum view • Vibration alarm with sound alert • Session logging for vibration history • CSV export for saved sessions • Simple machine-health style interpretation Who It’s For Vibration Meter is useful for: • Mechanics • HVAC technicians • Maintenance engineers • Factory and plant technicians • Building inspectors • Construction and industrial workers Use Cases • Check motor and fan vibration • Monitor engine vibration • Inspect pumps and compressors • Compare vibration before and after maintenance • Record vibration sessions for later review • Export readings for reports and diagnostics Premium Features Unlock advanced tools including: • Vibration history • CSV export • Frequency spectrum • Custom vibration alarms • 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

Tremor Check

Features
Read full description

Is that surface really vibrating? Measure it. Tremor Check turns your iPhone's built-in motion sensors into a precision vibration meter for whatever surface the phone is resting on — a desk, a table, a nightstand, a shelf, a washing machine. The sensors detect movement far smaller than you can feel, and the app tells you plainly what's happening. Clear answers, live A steady green "This surface is still" when nothing is moving. A yellow "Brief vibration" for short bumps — with a checklist of everyday causes like a passing truck, a door closing, or an appliance in its spin cycle. And a red "Vibration detected" with measured intensity and duration when the surface is continuously moving. Alerts on your wrist Set your sensitivity, and if sustained vibration is detected the companion Apple Watch app taps your wrist. Alerts stay on screen until you dismiss them — on the phone and the watch, in sync. A log for the hours you weren't looking Leave it monitoring overnight or while you're away from the room. The vibration log records every detection with time, intensity, and duration for the last 24 hours — or shows you that nothing happened at all. Live vibration trace with your alert threshold One-tap calibration to any surface Adjustable sensitivity (5–50 mg) Brief bumps explained with common causes Apple Watch alerts with measured peak 24-hour detection log, clearable anytime Free. No ads. No accounts. No tracking. Works completely offline. Private by design — every measurement stays on your device. The app never connects to the internet. Note: Tremor Check measures only the movement of the surface your iPhone is resting on. It is not an earthquake detection or early-warning service.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Tremor Check at none against Vibration Detector Sensor's 3. Tremor Check also leads on ads (none vs shown). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
