Shake Detector

Detect strong shakes from your phone’s accelerometer. Adjust sensitivity, log shake intensity, and verify motion triggers for games or QA testing in seconds.

Tip: Start around 1.2 g. Increase the threshold if you see false positives.

Force is calculated from acceleration magnitude relative to gravity (g).

Guide How to test shaking
  1. Disable battery saver to avoid throttled sensor polling.
  2. Remove bulky cases that dampen motion before testing.
  3. Shake with short, snappy movements for consistent acceleration peaks.
  4. Test multiple orientations (portrait/landscape) to cover all gameplay scenarios.

Hold the device firmly so you log the motion you intend to test.

About Shake Detector

Shake Detector listens to DeviceMotion events, converts acceleration to g-force, and counts high-intensity spikes. Perfect for QA teams validating shake-to-refresh gestures or mobile game mechanics.

  1. Tap Start detecting and allow the motion/accelerometer permission when prompted.
  2. Choose a sensitivity level: lower values catch soft shakes, higher values require stronger motion.
  3. Shake the device; force readings, peaks, and timestamps update in real time.
  4. Use Reset to clear the log before repeating a test run.
