GravityWins
In development
A playful sensor experiment that turns the accelerometer into a drop detector — useful for case-testing, fall-detection research, or just settling a bet about whose phone hits the floor hardest.
What it does
- Real-time accelerometer event detection with configurable thresholds
- Per-drop impact stats (peak G, duration, orientation)
- Session history with shareable summary cards
- Background service for long-duration logging
- CSV export for data analysis
