System Scope is a focused dashboard for checking your iPhone's current system status and recent changes. ■ WHAT YOU CAN MONITOR • CPU usage with a live history graph • Memory usage • Used and available storage • Battery level and charging state • Device thermal state, uptime and OS information You can try one complete Game Measurement before upgrading to Pro. ■ PRO • Measure game sessions anytime using start and end readings: average CPU, memory change, battery drain and thermal state • Extend history from 60 seconds to 15 minutes • Save before-and-after snapshots and compare changes • Export diagnostic snapshots as CSV System Scope has no ads or login. Exact CPU, memory, battery and thermal readings remain on your device and are never transmitted. Anonymous interaction events are sent to Google Analytics for Firebase only if you opt in at first launch, and can be disabled anytime in the app. We intentionally do not offer “memory cleaning” or “speed boosting” features whose effect cannot be guaranteed on iOS. Due to iOS sandbox restrictions, System Scope cannot display per-app CPU or memory usage, list running processes, collect an in-game timeline, or close other apps. Game Measurement calculates device-wide session averages from start and end readings.

About

Core Pulse

CorePulse shows your iPhone as a live system console. Real readings. A cyber HUD. Nothing invented. Open the app and the screen comes online: uptime ticking every second, cores lit by count, battery and thermal state drawn as instruments. It is your phone, presented like a diagnostic terminal. MONITOR See what iOS actually reports. • Device model, model identifier, and iOS version • Active processor cores, shown as a count • Physical memory • Storage used, free, and total • Battery level and charging state • Thermal state: Nominal, Fair, Serious, or Critical • System uptime, low power mode, and the current link type CorePulse does not invent CPU load, system memory use, or temperature. If a value cannot be read, it stays unavailable. THREE VIEWS DATA is the full readout. CONSOLE is a full-screen instrument, built around live uptime. FIELD is a lamp display. Its color follows the thermal state, and one row shows how many cores are active. The other lamps are decoration, and they are labeled as such. SESSIONS Start a session before a game, a charge, a video, or anything else. End it when you come back. CorePulse compares the two readings: duration, battery, thermal state, storage, and uptime. History stays on this iPhone. WIDGETS Place a Small or Medium widget on the Home Screen. Each one shows battery, thermal state, free storage, and active cores, with the time of the last update. Widgets refresh on a schedule. They are not a live feed. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No cloud. No tracking. No upload of device data. Everything stays on this device.
