Description

Log and stream iPhone, iPad and Watch sensor data.

With SensorLog you can read sensor data from the iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch.

The sensor data can be saved as a file in CSV or JSON format, streamed via TCP/UDP or sent as an HTTP request.

The most important functions for iPhone and iPad:

- Sensor data can be recorded at up to 100Hz (depending on the iOS device version and sensor type).
- Sensor data can be streamed in server or client mode using TCP or UDP. Depending on the network speed and the server or client configuration used, this is possible with up to 100Hz.
- Via HTTP(S) GET/POST request, sensor data in JSON format (POST) or form-url encoded (POST and GET) can be transmitted to a REST API with up to 20Hz.
- With the SensorLog Remote Client/Server function, an iPad or iPhone can connect as a SensorLog Remote Client to an iPhone or iPad, which takes on the role of SensorLog Remote Server. The client's sensor data can be visualized on the server, and the server can control the clients (start/stop logging, start/stop sending data).
- Logging can be started and stopped using Siri and shortcuts.
- SensorLog supports Core ML models created with Apple's Create ML app. Log data with SensorLog, train a model with the data in Create ML, load exported models in SensorLog and log the model prediction. Supported Create ML models are: Activity Classifier, Tabular Regressor and Tabular Classifier.
- If you have an Apple Watch, HealthKit data such as heart rate, energy used, sleep and movement data can be exported on the watch as a csv or json file and then transferred to your iPhone.

- CLLocation, CLHeading, CMAccelerometer, CMGyroData, CMMagnetometer, CMDeviceMotion, CMActivity, CMPedometer, CMAltimeter, WLAN and network provider IP addresses, device orientation, battery info, decibels.


The most important functions for Apple Watch:

- Logging Option 1: Logging duration up to 1 hour
Simultaneous logging of all selectable sensor data is supported in the background with up to 50Hz. Individual sensors can be logged with a higher frequency of up to 100Hz. Sending data via HTTP requests is supported.
- Logging option 2: Logging duration greater than 1 hour
In the background only logging of the accelerometer data with max. 50Hz is supported. In the foreground all sensor data with up to 100Hz. Sending data via HTTP requests is only supported when the app is in the foreground.
- Via HTTP(S) GET/POST request, sensor data can be transmitted to a REST API with up to 10Hz in JSON format (POST) or form-url encoded (POST and GET).
- The Health Store data feature off the SensorLog Watch app allows you to export HealthKit data like heart rate, energy burned, sleep, and movement data. This data is automatically recorded by your Watch and can be read out and exported by SensorLog as csv or json file and transferred to your iPhone.
- Logging can be started and stopped using Siri and Shortcuts.

What’s New

Version 5.3.1

- bug fixes

iPhone/iPad:
- SensorLog configuration files. Support for saving, and loading SensorLog configuration files. Downloading of configuration settings from Web server via HTTP.
- SensorLog Remote client supports incoming JSON requests:
{"request":"status"}
{"request":"startLogging"}
{"request":"stopLogging"}
{"request":"startSendingSensorData"}
{"request":"stopSendingSensorData"}
{"request":"setDataLabel", "label":0..5}

- SensorLog Remote server supports incoming JSON requests:
{"request":"status"}
{"request":"startLogging"}
{"request":"stopLogging"}
{"request":"setDataLabel", "label":0..5}
{"request":"startLoggingAllConnectedClients"}
{"request":"stopLoggingAllConnectedClients"}
{"request":"loadConfiguration", "url":"URL_SENSORLOG_CONFIG_FILE"}
{"request":"setDataLabelAllConnectedClients", "label":0..5}

- SensorLogRemote server can now be started with dedicated server port
- Beta status: Support for connecting at most one external Bluetooth sensor/device to log its data into a separate log file or to merge its data with the builtin sensors' log file/stream/http. Please note this is still in a beta status.
- added configuration option to "auto set initial attitude reference" before starting to log data.
- added support to start SensorLog with a specific configuration via custom app link by using the link SensorLog://configure/?urlConfigurationServer=URL. You can set the URL and it will automatically fetch the JSON configuration file from the server.

Watch:
- Unfortunately had to remove tcp/ip streaming and Remote Sensorlog feature, due to changes in the low level networking functions of watchOS.
- SensorLog configuration files. Support for saving, and loading SensorLog configuration files. Downloading of configuration settings from Web server via HTTP.
- added configuration option to "auto set initial attitude reference" before starting to log data.
- added HealthKit Export of envAudioExposure data

Feature request

Any chance of recording gyroscope and accelerometer data from Apple AirPods Pro?

Useful and well implemented

This is a well implemented utility and the interface update to make it look more at home on iOS 7 is a welcome addition. This is a utility application that will appeal to those who want to get at the raw sensor data on their device and either log it to a file or point that data at a socket. Selecting the logging level and frequency is easy. If you need to use your phone as a poor mans IMU or AHRS then this might provide a good starting point (logged data is unfiltered and in-calibrated so this is left as an exercise to the user).

Thanks for a great app.

no guide and app does not log in the background

This looks like a really useful app, especially as i was looking for a GPS logger that logs position accuracy together with heading information at user set intervals (GPS starts from 1Hz). The interface is quite simple but it would be really helpful to have a guide page to provide a bit more detail what each of the settings are.
The weak spot is that this app, despite switching on in the defice setting to allow GPS access in the backgroun, stops logging when you switch to another app (e.g. the photo app) - though the GPS icon is still on. It saves the log so far, but you have ot restart every time you start walking again.
Simple changes that could make this really useful.
