Digital Chladni Figure

Features & Capabilities

Chladni Screen is a real-time cymatics visualization that runs as a Chrome extension. It digitally simulates Chladni figures—geometric patterns that emerge on vibrating membranes when stimulated by sound. The app responds to audio from your voice or instruments, letting you explore how patterns transform with different frequencies.

Explore three display modes by pressing and holding the mode buttons to view alternate representations. This project credits content from the Wikipedia article on Ernst Chladni under Creative Commons license.

User Reviews

Users praise the app’s striking, kaleidoscopic visuals and its potential as a cymatics-inspired visuals tool, often noting it as the best option in its niche. However, recurring issues dominate: widespread reliability and compatibility problems across devices (including iPhone X and iPad), black screen/visuals failures, and missing color features. There are also concerns about accuracy and inconsistent results, plus value questions given the bugged experience. Feature requests (color, audio input, recording) are common despite the praise. Overall, visuals are strong, but reliability needs work.

Pros

Visually appealing, kaleidoscope-like patterns that respond to voice input, offering a relaxing viewing experience.
Described by users as the best available option for Chladni visuals on the App Store.
Potential educational/research value in cymatics, with broad conceptual appeal.
Some users feel the app is worth the price despite limitations.

Cons

Major compatibility and reliability issues across devices (not working on iPhone X, iPad, and newer models; varying reports of success).
Frequent visuals not rendering (black screen/blank slate) when using the mic or selecting patterns.
Color options are missing; users repeatedly request color features and coloring mapping.
Inconsistent results and accuracy concerns (same input may produce different patterns; not accurate).
Monetary value concerns due to bugs (paid app that crashes or doesn’t work; calls to remove from store or refund).

So honorable.

I think it just makes different Kaleidoscope type pictures every time you say something. If I repeat the same word the picture should come out the same or pretty similar but it would show something totally different each time. I don’t think it’s accurate. I just wasted $1.99.

I’m using iPhone 16 pro and iOS 18.3. Just downloaded the app. Squares is lovely but circles & blocks features don’t work at all. Just a black screen.
