About this app

Vibration Meter is a simple Android vibration measurement app that uses your phone’s built-in accelerometer. It is designed for quick vibration checks, basic trending, learning, and field observations without requiring external hardware.
The app displays a live rolling measurement with RMS, time waveform, and FFT spectrum on one clean screen. Choose the phone axis you want to measure, select the display unit, start collection, and watch the vibration signal update in real time.

Key features:

Uses the phone accelerometer only
Live RMS vibration reading
Time waveform display
FFT spectrum display
Select X, Y, or Z phone axis
Units: g, m/s², mm/s, and µm
Rolling window durations: 1 s, 2 s, 5 s, and 10 s
Frequency display in Hz or CPM
Tap FFT peaks to view RMS amplitude
Harmonic markers for selected FFT peaks
Light, dark, and auto theme modes
Saves your last settings and last measurement
No account required
No internet connection required
Vibration Meter is useful for quick inspection of motors, fans, pumps, bearings, machinery, appliances, structures, and general vibration sources. It can help visualize vibration behavior, compare trends, identify dominant frequencies, and understand how vibration changes over time.

The FFT spectrum uses a Hann window for visual frequency analysis. Overall RMS is calculated separately using the rolling measurement window. For velocity and displacement, the app performs signal processing suitable for a phone accelerometer, including filtering and integration.

Important note:
Phone accelerometers have limited sample rate, bandwidth, range, mounting quality, and calibration compared with dedicated industrial vibration analyzers. Velocity RMS measurements may not cover the full ISO 10816 / ISO 20816 recommended 10-1000 Hz range on all devices. Results depend on the phone model, sensor quality, mounting method, and measurement conditions.

Vibration Meter is intended for quick phone-based vibration checks and trending. It is not a substitute for a calibrated industrial vibration analyzer or certified ISO 10816 / ISO 20816 assessment.
