Raw Sensor Multitool gives you instant, real-time access to the raw data streaming from your iPhone's built-in sensors — all in one clean dashboard. Designed for DIY makers, engineers, hobbyists, and anyone who wants to know exactly what their phone is measuring. SENSORS INCLUDED • Accelerometer — Live X, Y, Z forces in g. See gravity, tilt, and motion as raw values. Perfect for understanding how your phone moves in space. • Gyroscope — Real-time rotation rates on all three axes in rad/s. Ideal for robotics, motion tracking, and calibration projects. • Magnetometer — Raw magnetic field strength in microteslas (µT) on X, Y, Z. Detect nearby magnets, map field distortions, or calibrate compass-based projects. • Altimeter — Relative altitude change in meters and absolute barometric pressure in hPa. Zero the baseline at any time with the Reset button. • Compass — Magnetic and true heading in degrees, with a live compass rose and accuracy indicator. Instantly see if your magnetometer needs calibration. THREE SENSITIVITY MODES Tap Raw, Balanced, or Smooth at the top of the dashboard to control how data is filtered: • Raw — No filtering. Full precision. Every sensor update displayed as-is. Best for debugging and precision DIY work. • Balanced — Light smoothing with reduced decimal places. Clean and readable. The default mode. • Smooth — Heavy moving-average filter. Dramatically reduces noise. Best for steady observation and general use. DESIGNED FOR DIY PROJECTS Whether you're building a sensor logger, calibrating a magnetometer array, testing a motion-sensitive prototype, or just curious about your phone's hardware — Raw Sensor Multitool puts the data front and center, with no clutter. All sensor data is processed entirely on-device. Nothing is stored, logged, or transmitted.
Sensor Toolkit

Sensor Toolkit turns your iPhone into a clean, practical set of everyday measurement tools. Use it when you need a level, compass, vibration meter, magnetometer, heading reader, sound meter, ruler, protractor, timer, or metronome without switching between separate apps. Built for quick checks, field work, DIY tasks, practice rooms, and daily utility, Sensor Toolkit keeps each tool focused on the measurement in front of you. Key features: • 10 tools in one app Level, Compass, Vibration, Magnetometer, Heading, Sound Meter, Ruler, Protractor, Timer, and Metronome. • Real-time sensor readings Clear visual feedback helps you read tilt, direction, sound level, vibration, magnetic field strength, angles, time, and tempo at a glance. • No ads while measuring Measurement screens stay clean, focused, and distraction-free. • Sound and vibration logs View live measurement changes over time and save chart images when you need a record. • Practical instrument-style design Dark, high-contrast screens make readings easy to check quickly. • Privacy-conscious permissions Permissions are requested only when a tool needs them. Microphone audio is used for sound level measurement and is not saved by the app. Sensor Toolkit is designed for practical reference measurements. Results depend on your device sensors, calibration, and environment, so it is not a replacement for certified professional measuring equipment.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Sensor Toolkit at none against Sensor Multitool's 3. Sensor Toolkit also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Sensor Multitool's advantage is device support. On price there is nothing between them.
