Striprate
Pool test-pad color reader
$2.99 · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Read compatible pool test-pad colors, track trends offline, and keep source and retest context beside every water-care review.
Striprate is an offline pool and spa test-strip companion for fast pH, free chlorine, and total alkalinity checks.
Dip a compatible generic three-pad strip, frame the pads inside the on-screen guide, and tap Read. Striprate samples pad colors on device, matches them to bundled chart values, and creates water-care estimates scaled to the pool volume and targets you enter. Manual entry is available when lighting or camera conditions are not suitable.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Striprate has no account, no analytics, no tracking, and no developer backend. The camera is used only to sample the three strip pads. Frames are processed live on the device and are not stored or uploaded. Reading history and preferences remain in local app storage unless you choose to export or share them.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Displayed values and adjustment amounts are general estimates, not a substitute for the strip or chemical product label, local requirements, or professional water testing. Confirm compatibility and concentration, add chemicals gradually, never mix products, circulate as directed, and retest before another adjustment.
