AN INSTRUMENT IN YOUR POCKET

Discover what your phone can measure.

Motion, magnetic fields, ambient light, pressure and more—see your device's actual sensor readings as live traces. Record a session, make an observation, take the data with you.

LEARN THE HARDWARE

One phone. Many instruments.

Choose a sensor to see what it can measure. This is an educational guide, not a live demo or a claim that every phone has every sensor.

SENSOR AVAILABILITY VARIES BY DEVICE

INSTRUMENT GUIDE 01 / 06

Accelerometer

Shows acceleration along the device's three axes, including the effect of gravity. Place the phone flat, then tilt it gently to compare the readings.

UNITm/s²
TRY THISTilt & gravity

Guide only · readings appear in the Android app when supported by the device.

BUILT FOR REAL CURIOSITY

Read it. Trace it. Keep it.

A focused set of tools for everyday exploration and classroom experiments, with the hardware limitations shown clearly.

01 /

See what's available

Find detected sensors, inspect their names, vendors, resolution and supported measuring ranges. Missing hardware is labeled, never simulated.

02 /

Watch live traces

Inspect multi-axis readings in a dedicated measurement workspace, with readable units, automatically scaled traces and configurable sampling requests.

03 /

Record & export

Save a sensor session locally and export its readings to CSV using Android's document picker. Share your data only when you choose.

04 /

Explore with purpose

Try short guided activities for tilt, rotation, magnetic surroundings, light, pressure and proximity—only when the matching sensor exists.

05 /

Stay in control

No account, advertising SDK or required network connection. Delete saved sessions in the app and choose where exported files go.

06 /

Designed for your screen

Readable cards, light and dark themes, focused controls and data-first layouts from compact phones to larger displays.

A SMALL EXPERIMENT, A BIGGER QUESTION

Start by moving your phone.

Set your phone flat, tilt it gently and watch the acceleration axes change. Use the guided prompt to learn what the hardware reports, then capture your own session.

Measurements depend on your device. Axisbench is for learning and exploration, not for safety-critical or certified scientific measurements.
