Fault - Real Time Seismograph

Fault is a high-precision seismic activity visualiser that transforms your apple device into a real-time motion analysis tool.

Fault is a high-precision seismic activity visualiser that transforms your device into a real-time motion analysis tool. Built on advanced sensor filtering and a custom high-performance waveform engine, Fault helps you observe subtle tremors, vibrations, and shifts in your environment—instantly and with remarkable clarity.

Designed for enthusiasts, students, researchers, engineers, and anyone curious about the motion around them, Fault brings professional-grade motion insight to your pocket without requiring any external hardware.

Real-Time Seismograph

Fault captures live acceleration data from your device’s built-in sensors and displays it as a dynamic 3-axis waveform. Each axis is uniquely color-coded, providing a clear and intuitive visualization of motion patterns—whether you're measuring vehicle vibrations, structural resonance, or everyday movement.

Advanced Signal Processing

Raw sensor data is often noisy and difficult to interpret. Fault applies intelligent filtering techniques including:

High-pass filtering to reduce gravity influence

Low-pass smoothing to clarify subtle motion

Dynamic gain scaling for enhanced sensitivity

The result is clean, stable, and meaningful motion readings.

Instant Shake & Event Detection

Fault detects unusual motion in real time and highlights:

Peak acceleration

Event duration

Motion intensity

From sudden jolts to continuous vibration, every event is clearly broken down as it happens.

Customisable Experience

Fine-tune how motion is captured and displayed with adjustable:

Sensitivity and gain

Filter strength

Smoothing window

Axis visibility

Sampling rate

Frame rate

Every control gives you deeper precision.

Elegant, Minimal Design

Clean, distraction-free interface

Simple menu for quick navigation

Fast launch splash screen

Smooth high-frame-rate rendering

Lightweight, responsive, and crafted for both casual users and professionals.

Powered by a Modern Sensor Engine

Fault uses a custom rendering pipeline with circular buffering to ensure exceptional performance and accuracy—even during fast movements or long monitoring sessions.
