Your sensor dashboard

OVERVIEW brings key information from the IMAGE, NAV, and AUDIO screens into one scrollable dashboard. Tap a section or use the tabs to open its full view.

Rear ImagingSee the live rear camera, device vertical angle, azimuth, approximate center distance on supported LiDAR models, and an RGB-derived simulated spectrum.
NavigationSee your map position, coordinates, heading, GPS altitude, local weather context, pressure, and relative altitude.
AcousticMonitor relative microphone level in dBFS, the frequency spectrum, and the current digital boost.

Controls found throughout the app

TOP TABS

Switch directly among OVERVIEW, IMAGE, NAV, AUDIO, and BIO.

RECEIVING

The section is receiving live sensor data. NOT RECEIVING or a waiting message means data is unavailable or paused.

SNAPSHOT

Capture the current EXCORDER screen and save the still image to Photos.

RECORD / STOP

Start or stop a screen recording and save the resulting video to Photos.

EXCORDER Image screen with camera targeting brackets, LiDAR center range, angle, azimuth, and simulated spectrum

Open full-size screen ↗

01 / IMAGE

Imaging and range

Use the rear camera as a live sensor view. On supported iPhones, EXCORDER overlays an approximate LiDAR distance at the center of the image.

Vertical angleThe scale on the left shows the device’s upward or downward tilt in degrees.
AzimuthThe lower scale and AZ label show the direction the camera is facing, from 0° to 359°.
Center rangeThe value inside the targeting brackets is the approximate distance to the center target. It appears only on supported LiDAR-equipped devices.
Camera spectrumA 32-band visualization from 400–700 nm, simulated from the camera’s RGB values at 10 Hz.

Important: Center range is approximate, and the spectrum is an RGB-derived visualization—not a physical spectrometer reading.

EXCORDER Navigation screen showing map, environmental readings, magnetic field scan, and acceleration spectrum

Open full-size screen ↗

02 / NAV

Position, field, and motion

NAV combines your position and environment with magnetic-field direction and motion analysis.

Map and positionView your current map position, latitude, longitude, compass heading, and GPS altitude.
Weather and pressureLocal temperature and humidity come from MET Norway. Atmospheric pressure comes from the device barometer when available.
Relative altitudeTracks barometric change from a reference point. Tap RESET REL ALT to make the current reading the new zero point.
Magnetic field scanShows current field strength, baseline, anomaly, peak, scan quality, and X/Y/Z readings. The arrow points toward a stronger field—not toward magnetic north.
Reset scanTap RESET SCAN to establish a new magnetic baseline for the current position and surroundings.
Acceleration / vibrationFollow the 100 Hz three-axis acceleration trace and a 0–50 Hz spectrum with peak frequency and amplitude.

Tip: Keep the iPhone steady while establishing a magnetic baseline. Cases, magnets, chargers, metal objects, and nearby electronics can change the reading.

EXCORDER Audio screen showing microphone level, spectrum, boost control, live transcript, and translation

Open full-size screen ↗

03 / AUDIO

Sound and Voice Decode

AUDIO visualizes the microphone signal and can transcribe speech in six languages. Translation is available on supported iOS versions.

Relative levelThe large dBFS value and bar show the live digital microphone level. It is not a calibrated sound-pressure level.
Frequency spectrumThe bars show relative energy across 40 Hz–16 kHz.
BoostAdjust the digital multiplier from 1× to 6× to inspect quieter signals. Boost changes the display sensitivity, not the physical microphone.
Input languageChoose Japanese, English, Spanish, Korean, German, or French from INPUT.
Transcription and translationSelect a translation target or OFF, then tap TRANSCRIBE. Tap STOP to finish and CLEAR to erase the displayed text.

Requirements: Microphone and speech-recognition access are required. Real-time translation requires iOS 18 or later and may require language resources to be downloaded by iOS.

EXCORDER Internet Radio screen showing Now Playing, playback controls, search modes, station results, favorites, and history

Open full-size radio screen ↗

03A / NEW IN VERSION 1.2.0

Internet Radio

Internet Radio is part of the AUDIO screen on iOS and Android. EXCORDER uses Radio Browser to find stations, then connects directly to the selected station stream.

The station names, track information, URLs, and artwork shown in this guide image are fictional examples. Available controls and information can vary by platform, device, OS, and station stream.

Choose how to search.Use STATION for a station name, COUNTRY for a two-letter country code such as JP or US, or NEARBY for stations near your current location.
Run the search.Enter your search text and use the search button. NEARBY requires location access.
Select a station.Tap a result to connect. PLAY/PAUSE, STOP, and RETRY control the current station.
Save or reopen it.Use the star button to add or remove a favorite. FAVORITES shows saved stations; HISTORY shows recently played stations.
Try Voice Decode.After playback begins, use Voice Decode for live transcription or translation when the stream, device, OS, language, and required resources support it.

Radio troubleshooting

The station does not play

Check your internet connection, tap RETRY, and try another station. A station can be temporarily offline, region-restricted, or use an unsupported stream format.

NEARBY does not return stations

Allow location access for EXCORDER and enable Location Services. STATION and COUNTRY searches remain available without location access.

Track information is blank

Track, artist, and program fields appear only when the station sends that metadata. Blank fields do not necessarily indicate a playback problem.

Voice Decode is unavailable

Keep listening normally or try another station. Optional transcription and translation can be unavailable even while playback works.

Playback controls are limited during RECORD

Starting EXCORDER screen recording pauses the radio and prevents starting or resuming it. Stop recording, then resume playback. Background playback can be controlled from the system media controls.

Direct playback: EXCORDER does not relay, restream, download, record, or permanently store radio audio. Favorites and playback history save station information only.

EXCORDER BIO SCAN screen showing magnetic, audio, Bluetooth, pressure, face, and 3D human-shape detection

Open full-size screen ↗

04 / BIO SCAN

Watch for sensor changes

BIO SCAN watches several live channels at once and alerts you when a selected threshold is crossed.

MagneticMonitors magnetic-field change against the adjustable THR value.
Audio — Low / HighMonitors level changes in the 20–80 Hz and 14–20 kHz bands. Drag each threshold marker to tune sensitivity.
BLEShows nearby Bluetooth Low Energy device count and RSSI change. The result depends on discoverable devices and Bluetooth access.
PressureUses separate low and high limits around a baseline. Drag L and H to adjust the limits; tap RESET to use the current pressure as the new baseline.
TrueDepthOn supported devices, FACE DETECT ON enables the front-camera view, face mesh, face detection, and 3D human-shape detection. Tap it to turn those functions off.
Detection alertWhen a channel crosses its threshold, EXCORDER identifies the triggered channel and responds with an on-screen alert, sound, and vibration.

For entertainment purposes: Sensor changes do not confirm the presence of a living being. Face and 3D human-shape features require a TrueDepth-equipped device.
