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.
Clip Status

Clip Status keeps you ahead of outages before they become your problem. It polls the status pages of the services you depend on — GitHub, AWS, Stripe, Cloudflare, and dozens more — and shows you their health at a glance, right from your Home Screen and Lock Screen. No dashboard to open, no account to create, no telemetry sent anywhere. WIDGETS THAT ACTUALLY REFRESH Add Clip Status to your Home Screen or Lock Screen and it keeps checking on its own schedule, independent of whether you've opened the app recently. Small, medium, and large Home Screen widgets, plus Lock Screen and StandBy widgets, so status is visible without a single tap. NATIVE ALERTS, TUNED PER SERVICE Get notified the instant a service degrades or recovers. Set the threshold per service — any issue, outages only, or critical incidents only — so you're not woken up for a blip you don't care about. HISTORY, NOT JUST A SNAPSHOT Every service carries a sparkline of recent checks, so you can tell a one-off blip from the start of a real incident at a glance. BRING YOUR OWN STATUS PAGE Not in the built-in catalog? Point Clip Status at any Statuspage.io-compatible URL and it behaves exactly like a built-in service — sparkline, alerts, and all. MUTE WHAT'S NOISY, WATCH WHAT MATTERS Keep a flaky service enabled without the alert noise. Set your own check interval — fast for critical infrastructure, slower for anything you just like to keep an eye on. A CURATED, ALWAYS-UPDATED CATALOG GitHub, AWS, Google Cloud, Apple, Vercel, Cloudflare, Stripe, Twilio, Datadog, and more — the catalog updates remotely, so new services show up without an app update. PRIVACY BY DESIGN No account. No sign-up. No analytics, no third-party tracking, no telemetry. The only network requests Clip Status makes are to the status page URLs you choose to enable — nothing else ever leaves your phone. Clip Status is built for developers and DevOps engineers who need reliable status awareness without switching contexts — now living on the screen you already glance at first.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Clip Status at none against Sensor Multitool's shown. Clip Status also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
