Tempograph

An iPhone timegrapher for mechanical watches.

Tempograph helps you measure rate, beat error, and amplitude from watch ticks using the iPhone microphone. It is built for bench-side checks, quick comparisons across positions, and capturing samples you want to review later.

What it does

  • Measures live rate in seconds per day with confidence guidance.
  • Shows beat error, amplitude, BPH lock, and live trace diagnostics.
  • Saves session history locally on your device.
  • Exports CSV, JSON backup, summary reports, and raw audio captures.

How to get a clean reading

  • Place the watch case or crown directly against the iPhone microphone edge.
  • Keep firm physical contact and avoid handling noise.
  • Let the reading settle for 30–60 seconds before trusting it.
  • Use Setup Check if the app is hearing bumps instead of ticks.

Privacy

Audio is processed on-device. Tempograph does not use accounts, ads, or analytics. See the full privacy policy for details.
