Strobe Light Tachometer turns your iPhone into a controllable strobe light using the flashlight. It lets you dial the flash rate from 1 Hz to 130 Hz (60-7800 RPM) to visually freeze or reveal motion.

Use it as a tachometer to measure RPM of rotating objects like fans. Features include a speed slider, quick x2 and ÷2 adjustments, precise fine-tuning to two decimals, manual RPM entry, light/dark themes, and dual Hz/RPM display.

User Reviews

Users praise the app for accurate timing, ease of use, and versatility across tools and demonstrations, and note it’s free. However, brightness is often too dim, pulses are inconsistent, device compatibility and reliability vary by model, and there are occasional speed-read inaccuracies and ads, leading to mixed experiences depending on device and use case.

Pros

Accurate speed readings (RPM) and precise Hertz mapping
Easy to use and quick to operate, even one-handed
Very useful across a range of applications (lathe, drill press, fans, zoetropes) with clear metrics
Flashes are clean and not overly bright, reducing overexposure in some setups
Free app with strong value

Cons

Strobe brightness is often too dim for visibility
Pulse/brightness is inconsistent and can pause or miss beats
Compatibility and reliability issues on certain iPhone models (e.g., SE, XS) and occasional outages
Inaccurate readings at certain speeds (low speeds around 60 rpm; some high-frequency discrepancies)
Occasional ads or monetization friction in the interface
