TickLab vs Escapements

TickLab is a watch life platform to record, manage, analyze, and share every moment with your watches. It started with accuracy measurement, but now covers measurement, collection, journaling, analytics, and community in one app. Accuracy Measurement and AI Diagnosis Measure the daily rate, beat error, and amplitude of a mechanical watch using only the iPhone microphone, with no extra hardware. Reliability grades and AI interpretation make results easy to understand, and automatic phone-clock calibration improves precision. A single measurement in the same position with a clean signal can land within about 2 seconds per day, and averaging several can narrow it to about 1 second per day. Use positional deviation analysis to gauge when a service is due. Collection Management Organize each watch with specs, photos, serial number, purchase price, and finances, and keep strap and service records. Overhaul timing and warranty expiry are tracked automatically. Warranty can be set up to 10 years, with reminders before and on the expiry date. Life Log Capture your moments with wear logs, a journal, memory highlights, event tags, and mood. Dream up your next watch with a wishlist. Analytics See your watch life at a glance with weekly, monthly, and yearly trends, a monthly wear heatmap, a year-end recap, and the global brand league. Community Like, comment, and follow in a photo feed, and collect badges. Kept safe with reporting, blocking, and content filters. Home Screen Widget and Live Activity View your latest measurement in a widget and log today's wear right from it. During a measurement, it appears in real time on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island. Privacy Measurement data, serial numbers, and purchase prices are stored only on your device and are never sent off it. Community photos are uploaded only after location data is removed and only when you tap the post button yourself.

Escapements is a pro mechanical watch timing bench for collectors who want decisions from their logs, not just a list of readings. BENCH ACTION QUEUE Version 1.5 adds a collection-wide Bench tab that ranks every watch by timing condition. It blends recent weighted rate, position spread, service age, magnetism flags, and data confidence into a clear next action: gather more data, rest and observe, regulate, demagnetize first, or service first. OVERNIGHT REST PLANNER Escapements now recommends the best overnight resting position from your own position readings. A fast watch gets matched with the slowest useful rest position; a slow watch gets matched with the fastest useful position. The app estimates the 24-hour result from a realistic worn/rested blend. PER-WATCH BENCH INTELLIGENCE Open any watch detail to see its bench score, weighted seconds-per-day rate, positional spread, data confidence, service window, magnetism warnings, and regulation readiness. Wide positional spread or overdue service intentionally blocks regulation recommendations. MICROPHONE TIMEGRAPHER The optional timegrapher captures tick sound through the phone microphone, detects beat onsets against an adaptive noise floor, and reports observed beat rate in bph with an FFT-backed confidence score. No audio is stored. FIVE-POSITION TIMING Log dial-up, dial-down, crown-up, crown-down, crown-left, crown-right, and on-wrist readings. Escapements summarizes mean rate, spread, outliers, and standards context so you can separate normal positional variance from a real service issue. SERVICE, MAGNETISM, WIND, AND STRAP LOGS Track full service, movement work, pressure tests, battery changes, demagnetization, suspected magnetic exposure, wind events, power reserve, and strap wear. Everything ties back to the watch's timing history. OFFLINE BENCH PLATES The Reference tab now includes 16 original high-resolution visual bench plates covering position timing, overnight rest, regulation triage, magnetism, service windows, beat rates, lift angles, power reserve, timegrapher signal flow, COSC/METAS context, amplitude, beat error, and export preparation. EXPORTS Export PDF watch reports and CSV timing logs for a watch or the full collection. Share through Mail, Files, AirDrop, or any system share destination. PRIVACY Escapements is offline-first. Your watches, photos, readings, service notes, and exports stay on your device. No account, analytics, ads, or tracking. Microphone permission is used only for the optional live timegrapher and no audio is saved.
