View My Screen is the free companion to Remote Screen Viewer — a two-app solution for real-time screen sharing between people who know each other, such as an adult child helping a parent, or a friend helping a friend. HOW IT WORKS: Tap "Share My Screen." A 6-digit code appears on your screen and is automatically read aloud. Read it to your helper over the phone. They enter that code in Remote Screen Viewer and can instantly see your screen. ONE BUTTON. THAT'S IT. No accounts, no setup, no tech skills required. If you can tap a button, you can use this app. YOUR HELPER CAN SEE — BUT NOT TOUCH: This app is view-only. Your helper sees your screen exactly as it appears but cannot tap, type, swipe, or control anything. You stay in control at all times. NO RECORDING: Sessions are never recorded or stored. The moment you stop sharing, your screen is private again. NO AUDIO IN THE APP: View My Screen does not use your microphone. Talk to your helper on a regular phone call at the same time. FREE FOREVER: View My Screen is completely free to download and use. No trial. No subscription. No payment ever required. YOUR HELPER NEEDS THE COMPANION APP: Remote Screen Viewer ($2.99) — available separately on the App Store. That is the app your helper uses to see your screen.

Level is a fast, honest sound-level meter for iPhone. A big live decibel reading, plus Leq, Min, L90, and Peak alongside it — toggle on only what you need. A built-in reference generator and calibrated-mic support are there for speaker work or true SPL. One clean instrument, not a busy suite. FEATURES • Big decibel reading — A/C/Z weighting, Fast (125 ms) or Slow (1 s) response • Four toggleable stats in a 2×2 grid: Leq (energy-average), Min (quietest moment), L90 (background level — exceeded 90% of the time), Peak (true instantaneous peak). Always computed; show only what you need • Peak-hold "Max" — a marker holds the loudest moment; tap to reset • Reference signals: pink noise, white noise, ten octave tones (31.5 Hz–16 kHz), level-matched. 1 kHz tone pairs with a 94 dB calibrator • Play any output — iPhone speaker, AirPlay, Bluetooth, or USB — while the meter keeps reading • Calibrated-mic support: Dayton iMM-6C, miniDSP UMIK-1/UMIK-2/EARS, Behringer ECM8000, REW. Frequency correction plus a true-SPL anchor from the file's 1 kHz sensitivity • Manual calibration offset • Share card — current reading, your enabled stats, and the level bar • Fits iPhone Duo — closed, open, and open held wide • Full VoiceOver support • No account, no analytics, no third-party SDKs, no in-app purchases, no network connections HOW IT WORKS Open Level, allow the microphone, and read the room. Turn on Leq, Min, L90, and/or Peak in Settings → Readings to see them beside the live number in a 2×2 grid. Tap the meter to reset Max and every stat. For speaker work, tap play to send a reference signal to any output — pink noise for level-setting, white noise for tweeters, an octave tone for room modes, or the 1 kHz tone against a 94 dB calibrator. Long-press play (or use Settings) to switch. With the built-in mic, readings are approximate but honest and well-behaved. A calibrated USB mic and its cal file give true SPL. Either way, Level is a measurement tool, not a certified Type 1/2 instrument. GREAT FOR • Checking if a room, party, nursery, or workspace is too loud • Home theater/hi-fi — matching channels, setting levels, dialing in a subwoofer • Car audio — matching and balancing components • Live-sound hobbyists and DIY speaker builders • Anyone who wants an honest number, without a pro measurement suite PRIVACY Audio is measured live only — never recorded, written to disk, or transmitted. No account, no analytics, no in-app purchases, no network connection at all. QUICK START 1. Open Level, allow the microphone 2. Read the big number (A-weighted by default) 3. Settings → Readings: turn on Leq/Min/L90/Peak to add them to the grid 4. Tap the meter to reset Max and every stat 5. For speaker work: tap play to send a reference to any output; long-press to switch signals IMPORTANT Level is a general-purpose meter, not a certified Type 1/Type 2 instrument. Built-in mic readings are approximate; a calibrated USB mic with a cal file gives true SPL.
