New acoustic countdown for timed run experiments
Improved countdown for timed run experiments
Hint bubbles are less blocking
Fix: Audio Spectrum processes a partially filled audio buffer when pausing the experiment, which leads to a reduced resolution of the Fourier spectrum.
Fix: Links not working and missing apps in share menus on Android 11.
Fix: Missing time markers and crashes on some stricter OpenGL implementations.
- New absolute time axis ("system time")
- New meta data in export
- Synchronization information is logged and available in exported meta data, via REST API and network connection functions
- Pause times are visualized and generate gaps in the graph
- Several bugfixes (see https://phyphox.org/wiki/index.php/Version_history#1.1.8)
- External configurations in the main menu can now be shared.
- Defunct configurations are listed, so they can be deleted or shared to be analyzed and possibly fixed.
- MQTT support via custom experiment configuration.
- Multiple bugfixes (see https://phyphox.org/wiki/index.php/Version_history#1.1.7)
New permissions ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE and WAKE_LOCK required to determine network connection type and to use the Paho MQTT library.
- Audio spectrum now allows generating white noise.
- Tone generator supports dual tone generation.
- When leaving an experiment that ran for more than 10 seconds, phyphox shows a confirmation dialog.
There are many minor fixes and improvements. See https://phyphox.org/wiki/index.php/Version_history#1.1.6 for a full list.
- Spanish translation
- Turkish translation
- Spectrum experiments now have a peak frequency history plot
- The apply-zoom dialog when leaving a graph now defaults to "reset", but remembers if you want to keep the zoom for the next time.
- Many bugfixes (see phyphox.org)
- New network interface allowing to send and/or receive data to/from network services.
- New sensor db experiment, that allows you to contribute information about your device to our new (upcoming) sensor database.
- Highlight nearest BLE devices if multiple with same name are present.
- Use common time reference for multiple sensors, improving their synchronization.
- Location services (i.e. GPS) now use a database to translate elevation above the reference geoid and the WGS84 ellipsoid.

Remote access stores settings (font size, layout) until the end of the browser session
Remote access now has a bright mode (should help on low-contrast projectors)
Fix error in distance calculation of location/GPS experiment. (Introduced in 1.1.0, please check data generated in 1.1.0 or 1.1.1)
Add 1/min to acceleration spectrum and magnetic spectrum to directly get RPM from engines
Save scroll position of experiment list after entering an experiment or adding/removing items
Allow exporting data to more apps. (using a view-intent in addition to share-intent)
Fix crash in data picker.
Japanese translation
Fix: Light experiment inaccessible if there is no supported language in the list of preferred languages.
Did you know that you are carrying a 3D magnetometer? That you can use your phone as a pendulum to measure earth's local gravitational acceleration? That you can turn your phone into a sonar?
phyphox gives you access to the sensors of your phone either directly or through ready-to-play experiments which analyze your data and let you export raw data along with the results for further analysis. You can even define your own experiments on phyphox.org and share them with colleagues, students and friends.
Selected Features:
- A selection of pre-defined experiments. Just press play to start.
- Export your data to a range of widely used formats
- Remote-control your experiment through a web interface from any PC on the same network as your phone. No need to install anything on those PCs - all you need is a modern web browser.
- Define your own experiments by selecting sensor inputs, defining analysis steps and creating views as an interface using our web-editor (http://phyphox.org/editor). The analysis can consists of just adding two values or using advanced methods like Fourier transforms and crosscorrelation. We offer a whole toolbox of analysis functions.
Sensors supported:
- Accelerometer
- Magnetometer
- Gyroscope
- Light intensity
- Pressure
- Microphone
- Proximity
- GPS
*some sensors are not present on every phone.
Export formats
- CSV (Comma separated values)
- CSV (Tab-separated values)
- Excel
(if you need other formats, please let us know)
This app has been developed at the 2nd Institute of Physics A at the RWTH Aachen University.

Explanation for the permissions requested
If you have Android 6.0 or newer, some permissions will only be asked for when needed.
Internet: This grants phyphox network access, which is required to load experiments from online resources or when using the remote access. Both are only done when requested by the user and no other data is transmitted.
Bluetooth: Used to access external sensors.
Read external storage: This is may be necessary when opening an experiment stored on the device.
Record audio: Required to use the microphone in experiments.
Location: Used to access GPS for location-based experiments.
Camera: Used to scan QR codes for external experiment configurations.
