Turn your iPhone into a professional-grade acoustic laboratory. Powered by the high-fidelity YIN pitch detection algorithm, Frequency Counter delivers instant, real-time audio frequency analysis and tone synthesis with uncompromising engineering precision. Whether you are testing audio equipment, analyzing ambient sound waves, tuning musical instruments, or calculating motor RPM, this app provides the advanced tools you need in a clean, high-contrast visual dashboard. KEY FEATURES 1. REAL-TIME AUDIO ANALYSIS & SPECTROGRAPH High-Fidelity Pitch Detection: Track real-time sound frequencies instantly with exact readouts in Hertz (Hz). Live Oscilloscope Grid: Visualize active sound waves on a sweeping, highly responsive neon coordinate grid. Signal Gain Adjuster: Amplify low-amplitude ambient sounds easily by adjusting the visual height of the oscilloscope lines. Music Note Translator: Automatically convert active frequency measurements to the closest corresponding musical note (based on standard A4 = 440 Hz tuning). 2. ADVANCED STATS & ANALYTICS (PRO) Live Session Tracker: Monitor Minimum, Maximum, and Average frequencies detected during your active scanning session. Integrated Decibel Meter: View current volume levels (dB) directly alongside your frequency readout. RPM Speed Calculator: Measure the speeds of rotating fans, propellers, or motors with a configurable blade multiplier (1 to 8 blades). 3. PRECISION SCAN CONTROLS Freeze Screen: Freeze the active frequency readout and grid at any moment to inspect specific sound intervals. Reset Peak Meter: Instantly clear out the highest recorded peak frequency with a single tap. Start/Stop Engine: Complete control over your microphone input scanning sessions. 4. PROCEDURAL SOUND WAVE GENERATOR (PRO) Real-Time Sound Synthesis: Generate continuous tones supporting four reference waveforms: Sine (Cyan), Square (Green), Sawtooth (Orange), and Triangle (Purple). Tactile Tuning Pad: Fine-tune your output with incremental coarse buttons (-100, -10, -1, +1, +10, +100 Hz). Interactive Sweepers: Seamlessly navigate the human hearing spectrum (20 Hz - 20 kHz) using linear volume and logarithmic sweep sliders. Direct Hz Keyboard: Double-tap the main Hertz indicator to type your exact desired frequency via a dedicated number pad.

Spectrum Analyzer โ€“ Audio FFT transforms your iPhone microphone into a real-time live audio spectrum workspace from 20 Hz to 20 kHz. Using Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) processing, it displays a log-scale frequency graph, live input sound meter, and a peak-frequency readout to pinpoint dominant tones. Easily freeze the display to inspect static audio data. Ideal for musicians, engineers, and students, core features are free, with an optional one-time Pro upgrade for higher FFT resolution.
