GhostTrail vs GhostLab

A logbook for places that feel wrong. Walk into a room that gives you that feeling. Tap once. Hold still for two seconds while the rig baselines. GhostTrail starts reading your phone's magnetometer, accelerometer, and GPS — for up to sixty seconds, or until you tap stop. You get a pin you can keep on your phone, or share to the World Map so other spotters can see what your phone measured. WHAT IT IS • An honest sensor recorder. The readings are what the phone measured. Nothing else. • A logbook with retro VHS chrome. Each capture earns a tape number, a phosphor-green status readout, and — for curated landmarks — a multi-section lore card you can export as an Instagram Story sticker. • A curated map of nearly 200 places across six continents — locations known for the kind of stories that make people lower their voice. WHAT IT IS NOT • A ghost detector. The app never interprets readings. It logs them. • A microphone recorder. The permission is never requested. • A tracking app. No advertising identifiers. No analytics. No third-party trackers. SIGNALS — THE PEEK ECONOMY Opening another spotter's public pin costs one Signal. You start with three free Signals, and every pin you publish yourself earns one back — no daily caps, no limits. Out of Signals? Publish your own pins, or buy a Signal pack from Profile → SIGNALS. Three pack sizes: 3, 12 (+25% bonus), or 30 (+40% bonus). PRIVACY BY DEFAULT • Captures stay on your phone by default. Nothing leaves the device until you tap SHARE TO WORLD MAP. • Shared coordinates are fuzzed by ±30 meters before upload. Precise location never leaves the device. • Sign in with Apple is the only auth method. Apple's private email relay is supported. • Profile → Delete account permanently removes everything you have shared. FOUR TIERS OF ANOMALY Quiet · Stir · Pulse · Surge. The same readings, four amplifications of chrome. Your screen reacts to what the rig is seeing. A haptic pulse fires on every tier crossing. No sound is ever played. DESIGNED FOR LATE-NIGHT USE Phosphor green on near-black. Retro VHS scanlines. Monospace timecode. The interface stays out of the way. REQUIREMENTS • iPhone running iOS 17 or later • Magnetometer (every modern iPhone has one) • Location and motion permissions, granted on first capture • Camera permission optional — only for photos attached to pins • Photo Library Add permission optional — only when saving an Instagram-bound landmark sticker GhostTrail does not detect ghosts. It logs environmental sensor readings as data, not as paranormal claims.

GhostLab is a complete paranormal investigation toolkit for iPhone and iPad, built for night hunts. ONE HOME, SIX INSTRUMENTS, NO ADS MODES • EMF. DMP-style meter with green-to-red bars, recalibration, and radar view. • EVP. Clean microphone capture. • Spirit Box. Rapid scan-style carrier mixed with your mic. • Spirit Speak. Ask aloud and watch experimental replies condense out of dead-channel static on the analog-footage screen, timestamped like recovered tape. ITC, not a conversation with the dead. • Spirit Music Box. Multi-sensor chime reacting to EMF, motion, and proximity anomalies. • SLS. ARKit stick-figure tracking that records the camera feed: figures and captions burned into the video, your microphone on the soundtrack. Recording survives locks and interruptions. Saving is instant. A12 or later. Pro, with a free trial. CREATOR MODE (PRO) Arm Creator, investigate in any mode, and a rolling 60-second screen plus mic buffer captures the moment. • Edit and Share. Export the last 60s into the in-app clip editor. • Trim, mute/volume, 9:16, 1:1, 16:9 crop, watermark, captions, speed, freeze, color grade, title cards, multi-highlight stitch. • Share to Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and more. • Clips attach to the session Library for later play, edit, and share. TOOLS FOR THE HUNT • Knock detector, Motion-Grid, Word Burst (Pro) • Estes Method workflow and Vigil overnight counters (Pro) • Team sessions. Offline push-to-talk radio and tag sharing (Pro) • Night Vis, torch, red-light UI, dBA level chips (approximate phone meters) • Verify instruments. Optional pre-session control checks LIBRARY AND EVIDENCE Stop and Save keeps audio, video, tags, notes, transcripts, and clips with each session. Review playback, edit clips, export PDF reports (Pro), and keep investigations organized by location, weather, and investigators. GHOSTLAB PRO Core recording stays free. GhostLab Pro is a one-time unlock, no subscription, for Creator Mode, Spirit Speak, SLS, advanced tools, voice packs, custom word lists, PDF reports, Enhance EVP, and more. Most Pro features include one free try. HONEST BY DESIGN GhostLab is for investigation and entertainment. Sensor tools measure the environment (phones, metal, HVAC, and movement all create hits). Dictionary and spirit-box style features are experimental ITC techniques, not scientific proof of spirits. Always review evidence yourself. Requires iOS 17 or later. SLS requires A12 or newer. Some tools need camera, microphone, motion, location, or local network permission. Guides, the full mode tour, and support: ghostlab.icu
