Sensor Logger is a free, easy-to-use, cross-platform data logger that logs readings from common motion-related sensors on smartphones. Once completed, recordings can be exported as a zipped CSV file, JSON, SQLite, KML or be viewed within the app via interactive plots. The iOS version comes with a free companion watch app that allows you to log heart rate & wrist motion, and control recording sessions remotely from your wrist. Supported sensors and measurements include:
- Device Acceleration (Accelerometer; Raw & Calibrated)
- Gravity Vector (Accelerometer)
- Device Rotation Rate (Gyroscope)
- Device Orientation (Gyroscope; Raw & Calibrated)
- Magnetic Heading (Magnetometer; Raw & Calibrated)
- Barometric Altitude (Barometer)
- GPS Coordinate, Altitude, Speed & Heading
- Audio (Microphone)
- Loudness (Microphone)
- Camera Images (Front & Back, Foreground only)
- Camera Video (Front & Back, Foreground only)
- Pedometer (Estimated by operating system)
- Heart Rate (Requires watch app to be installed)
- Wrist Motion (Requires watch app to be installed)
- Light Sensor (Android only)
- Annotations (Timestamp and optional accompanying text comment)
- Device battery level and state
- Device screen brightness level
- Nearby Bluetooth beacons (All advertised data)
- Headphone Motion (Requires AirPods)

If you are performing cross-platform analysis using Sensor Logger, please beware of some minor unit differences and some important coordinate system differences between iOS and Android. Depending on your analysis, you may have to multiply values by a negative sign. See the Units Reference and the Coordinates Reference.
💡: New in Version 1.29: Toggling Standardise Units & Frames under Settings > Sensor Configuration will eliminate a lot of convention differences between iOS and Android. See this for more information.
Measurements made using the Sensor Logger can be exported in .zip
, .csv
, .json
, .kml
or .sqlite
formats. For data analysis, the zip export is recommended as it is free and contains all the raw data. See www.tszheichoi.com/sensorloggerhelp for more about how exporting works.
Python is recommended for analysing the outputs from Sensor Logger. For interactive data exploration and visualisation, use Jupyter Notebooks, which you can run for free easily with tools like Google Colab or Deep Notes. Your typical data science Python packages apply:
- Pandas for CSV parsing and manipulation
- Numpy for data analysis
- SciPy for time series analysis
- Folium / Leaflet.js for geospatial visualisation
- Dash / Flask for data streaming
All exported data have synchronised time stamps, meaning they can be cross-referenced. However, they do not necessarily align due to varied sampling rates. This is by design, so you can have the most precise timing for each sensor. If you require cross-sensor resampling, see the "Aligning and Interpolating Measurements Across Sensors" section below.
- The
time
column is the UNIX epoch timestamp of the measurement as reported by the sensors in nanoseconds. You can use tools like https://www.epochconverter.com/ to convert them to readable timestamps. By definition, these are UTC times -- whereas the filenames are in local times. - The
seconds_elapsed
column is the number of seconds since you tapped the Start Recording button. Note that some entries could be negative, meaning the measurements were made before the start of the recording, but are reported by your phone after the tap due to buffering or caching. - Please note that the accuracy of timestamps relies on accurate system timestamps. Please make sure your phone’s time is accurate to ensure physically correct timestamps. If your phone changes time zone mid-recording, it may also lead to unpredictable behaviour.
See https://github.com/tszheichoi/awesome-sensor-logger/blob/main/UNITS.md for the full documentation of units.
⚠️ If you are analysing uncalibrated acceleration data across platforms, there are important differences in unit definitions that you should be aware of.
See https://github.com/tszheichoi/awesome-sensor-logger/blob/main/COORDINATES.md for the full documentation of coordinate systems.
⚠️ If you are analysing acceleration & orientation values across platforms, there are important differences in the reference frame definitions that you should be aware of.

- Reading
.csv
: Usepandas
, see below. - Reading audio file: Depends on whether you have compression enabled in the Sensor Logger's settings.
The JSON export format is a single file, where the contents are an array of objects. Each object represents a single record (row). All records for a given sensor are grouped together and are then sorted by time.

For reading data exported using the SQLite option in Python, you may try:
import sqlite3
database_file = 'your_database_file.sqlite'
try:
connection = sqlite3.connect(database_file)
cursor = connection.cursor()
sql_query = "SELECT * FROM Accelerometer"
cursor.execute(sql_query)
results = cursor.fetchall()
for row in results:
print(row)
except sqlite3.Error as e:
print(f"SQLite error: {e}")
finally:
cursor.close()
connection.close()
The metadata.csv
file contains information about the device that performed the logging.
- version: The schema version of the exported data. This is different to the version of the app. When this version increments, you may have to update your data analysis script as things such as the column names, file names, or data structure may have changed.
- device name: The name of the device used for recording.
- recording time: The start time of the recording in UTC.
- platform: Either iOS or Android.
Sensor Logger gives you the option to log raw, uncalibrated data from the accelerometer, gyroscope and magnetometer. Calibrated data is always logged. The raw stream is useful for performing lower-level post-processing or custom sensor fusion. If in doubt, always use the calibrated version unless you have a good reason not to.
Use pandas
to import .csv
and convert timestamps. Use Plotly to visualise data interactively. Here, we show the acceleration experienced by a user during a roller coaster ride.
import pandas as pd
import plotly.graph_objects as go
df = pd.read_csv('Accelerometer.csv')
df.index = pd.to_datetime(df['time'], unit = 'ns')
fig = go.Figure()
for axis in ['x', 'y', 'z']:
fig.add_trace(go.Scatter(x = df.index, y = df[axis], name = axis))
fig.show()
Some sensors may also report uncertainties, which is important for analysis and multi-sensor fusion. For example, the speed from GPS has associated errors.
import pandas as pd
import plotly.graph_objects as go
df = pd.read_csv('Location.csv')
df.index = pd.to_datetime(df['time'], unit='ns')
fig = go.Figure()
fig.add_trace(go.Scatter(x=df.index, y=df['speed'], mode='markers',
error_y={'type': 'data', 'array': df['speedAccuracy']}))
fig.show()
Real-world measurements are never evenly sampled. It is important to double-check before any analysis. For example, this particular GPS location data recorded on an iPhone has avg_sampling_rate
of 0.93Hz, but the measurement gap ranges between 0.99 to 12 seconds.
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
df = pd.read_csv('Location.csv')
consecutive_deltas = df['seconds_elapsed'].diff()
avg_sampling_rate = 1 / np.mean(consecutive_deltas)
shortest_gap = np.min(consecutive_deltas)
maximum_gap = np.max(consecutive_deltas)
total_num_of_samples = len(df.index)
To resample your data, for example, to minute periods:
import pandas as pd
df = pd.read_csv('Location.csv')
df.index = pd.to_datetime(df['time'], unit = 'ns')
df.resample('1T').median()
To understand the implications and robustness of resampling and dealing with missing data in motion-related time series, consult the following:

- Sensor Data Augmentation by Resampling for Contrastive Learning for Human Activity Recognition: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2109.02054.pdf
Use tools like Folium, which is built on top of leaflet.js to overlap GPS tracks on a map
- https://towardsdatascience.com/build-interactive-gps-activity-maps-from-gpx-files-using-folium-cf9eebba1fe7
- https://towardsdatascience.com/simple-gps-data-visualization-using-python-and-open-street-maps-50f992e9b676
import folium
import pandas as pd
df = pd.read_csv("Location.csv")
coords = [(row.latitude, row.longitude) for _, row in df.iterrows()]
my_map = folium.Map(location=[df.latitude.mean(), df.longitude.mean()], zoom_start=16)
folium.PolyLine(coords, color="blue", weight=5.0).add_to(my_map)
Alternatively, convert your exported data to GPS using https://github.com/mhaberler/sensorlogger-util, and then upload to Google Maps for visualisation, following, for example, https://www.alphr.com/gpx-google-maps/.
Often, one has to align measurements across sensors -- for instance, gyroscope and accelerometer so that you can apply rotation matrixes to the acceleration vectors.
- Option 0: Use Sensor Logger's built-in "Combined CSV" export option. Note that this feature requires one of the paid subscription tiers. You can easily configure how you want to resample, upsample and downsample your measurements. The output of this is a single
.csv
file, saving you the hassle of dealing with alignment issues. If you prefer doing it yourself, see options 1 and 2 below.
- Option 1: Perform an outer join and then interpolate missing values for both sensors. By default,
pandas
interpolates linearly, but see the documentation for more advanced options.
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
df_gyro = pd.read_csv('Gyroscope.csv')
df_acce = pd.read_csv('Accelerometer.csv')
for df in [df_gyro, df_acce]:
df.index = pd.to_datetime(df['time'], unit = 'ns')
df = df_gyro.join(df_acce, lsuffix = '_gyro', rsuffix = '_acce', how = 'outer').interpolate()
- Option 2: Interpolate one sensor onto the timestamps of another -- probably better if the two sensors have wildly different sampling rates. For example:
np.interp(df_acce.index, df_gyro.index, df_gyro['x'])
Using option 1 above, the altitude readings from both the GPS and barometer are resampled and aligned. As you can see, the GPS is not great at characterising rapid altitude changes, and exhibits biases during transient periods.
For more complex alignment needs -- such as aligning with measurements from sources other than Sensor Logger, you may need techniques such as cross-correlation or dynamic time warping:
- https://towardsdatascience.com/dynamic-time-warping-3933f25fcdd
- https://dtaidistance.readthedocs.io/en/latest/usage/dtw.html
- https://dynamictimewarping.github.io/
Different applications require different smoothing and denoising strategies. This scipy cookbook has some handy code you can borrow:
- https://scipy-cookbook.readthedocs.io/items/SignalSmooth.html
- https://scipy-cookbook.readthedocs.io/items/SavitzkyGolay.html
- Also try
scipy.ndimage.median_filter
Referencing the previous section on interpolation, performing downsampling with a suitable aggregator (e.g. median) or interpolation with suitable spline or polynomial functions may also achieve smoothing. You can also apply a rolling median (or rolling mean) technique with ease using pandas, which can also achieve smoothing and anomaly removal:
import pandas as pd
df_gyro = pd.read_csv('Gyroscope.csv')
window_size = 200
smoothed_gyro = df_gyro['x'].rolling(window=window_size, min_periods=1).mean()
print(smoothed_gyro)
Use Fourier transforms to understand any periodicity in your logged values. For example, you can detect walking by simply thresholding the gravity vector measurements in frequency space. Here is a simple example of Fourier transforming the gravity measurements taken on Zodiac, a spinning ride at Thorpe Park. As you can see, there is a peak around 0.25 Hz (i.e. the ride goes around one revolution every 4 seconds).
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
df = pd.read_csv('Gravity.csv')
ts = pd.to_datetime(df['time'], unit = 'ns')
period = np.nanmedian(ts.diff().dt.total_seconds())
sp = np.fft.fft(df['x'])
freq = np.fft.fftfreq(len(df.index), period)
mask = (freq >= 0) &(freq < 1)
fig = go.Figure()
fig.add_trace(go.Scatter(x = freq[mask], y = [np.linalg.norm(s) for s in sp[mask]]))
fig.show()
You can use algorithms like Douglas-Peucker to simplify recorded GPS tracks to save storage space for long recordings. A Sensor Logger specific implementation can be found here: https://github.com/mhaberler/sensorlogger-util/blob/master/simplify.py
Scipy's find_peaks
is the easiest place to get started. For example:
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
from scipy.signal import find_peaks
import plotly.graph_objects as go
df_accel = pd.read_csv('Accelerometer.csv')
signal = df_accel['x']
min_distance = 25
peaks, _ = find_peaks(signal, distance=min_distance)
fig = go.Figure()
fig.add_trace(go.Scatter(x=peaks, y=signal[peaks], mode='markers', marker=dict(color='red', size=10)))
fig.add_trace(go.Scatter(x=range(len(signal)), y=signal, mode='lines'))
fig.show()
print("Indices of peaks:", peaks)

Sometimes, erroneous sensors may report the same value twice with identical timestamps, likely due to caching. Try something like this to remove them:
def remove_duplicated_rows(df: pd.DataFrame):
_df = df[
~(df["timeStamp"].diff() < 0)
] # be careful that diff() gives nan for first row
if len(_df.index) != len(df.index):
print(
f"duplicated rows detected in the input file ({len(df.index) - len(_df.index)}"
)
return _df

Michael Haberler has helpfully put together a command-line tool sensorlogger-utils
to take the JSON exported from Sensor Logger and convert it to GPX or InfluxDB formats: https://github.com/mhaberler/sensorlogger-util
python sensorlogger -g <json file>
python sensorlogger.py -2 [--bucket sensorlogger] --token xxx --org yyyy --url http://host:8086 2022-06-14_03-15-05.json
Version 1.17 adds the capability to record values reported from a wide range of Bluetooth LE sensors which report values via periodic advertisements.
Sensor Logger lets you scan for, and choose to record such BLE sensors, and will record their advertisements in the log. Sensor Logger supports this method of reporting values, but is unaware of how any particular sensor encodes its values. Therefore, Sensor Logger records the advertisement (and in particular the manufacturer data field) and leaves the interpretation of these records to a later postprocessing step.
This means that any - existing or yet-to-be-designed - BLE sensor using this reporting method is supported by Sensorlogger - because it implements just the recording, but not the sensor-specific interpretation step.
A list of sensors that should work out of the box with Sensorlogger can be found here: https://decoder.theengs.io/devices/devices.html - however, any device using this method can be recorded.
Also, custom-built sensors can be recorded - an example project which has been verified to work with Sensor Logger can be found here: https://github.com/mhaberler/flowsensor
To interpret BLE sensor recordings, the exported log must be post-processed. An experimental service has been put together here: https://sensorlogger.mah.priv.at/sensorlogger - the source code can be found here. Feel free to fork and roll your own.
This is how Sensorlogger records a Ruuvi Tag:
{
"sensor": "bluetooth-DB08D33338EF",
"time": "1690316310897000000",
"seconds_elapsed": "0.906",
"rssi": "-79",
"id": "DB:08:D3:33:38:EF",
"txPowerLevel": "",
"manufacturerData": "99040512735828ffff0070fc18012890962ec379db08d33338ef"
}
The values are contained in the manufacturerData
field, but make no sense as they stand. A quick and dirty way of parsing this is with an online decoder. For example, use https://parser.theengs.io/. Select TPMS and copy and replace the entire manufacturerData. Then click decode. If this is from a recognised sensor, such as this Ruuvi Tag example, then you will see the decoded information.
Decoding with https://sensorlogger.mah.priv.at/sensorlogger expands this into the values which actually make sense:
{
"sensor": "bluetooth-DB08D33338EF",
"time": 1690316310896.9998,
"seconds_elapsed": 0.906,
"rssi": -79,

}
💡: New in Version 1.30: Sensor Logger now supports pushing live data via MQTT. See https://github.com/tszheichoi/awesome-sensor-logger/blob/main/PUSHING.md for more.
Sensor Logger supports pushing live data via HTTP. This can be enabled by tapping the gear icon on the Logger page. All enabled sensors during a recording will be streamed every 200ms to the specified URL. To display the streamed data, you will need to set up a webserver on another computer.
HTTP Push sends a POST request to the supplied URL with content-type "application/json". The request body is of the following format:
{
messageId: 0,
sessionId: "identifier",
deviceId: "identifier",
payload: [
{
"name": "accelerometer",
"time": 1698501144401773000,
<other fields depending on sensor>
},
{
"name": "location",
"time": 1698501145514000000,
<other fields depending on sensor>
},
],
}
The messageId
is incremented for each message sent. The messageId
is useful because the messages can be received out-of-order, which may need to be handled depending on your use case. The sessionId
is the same for all messages in a single recording, and the deviceId
is the same for all messages from a single device. The time is in UTC epoch nanoseconds.
Note: due to legacy reasons, on Android only, some sensors report accuracy alongside name
and time
. This is left in-place for backwards compatibility. Interpreting this field:
- 0 means unreliable
- 1 means low accuracy
- 2 means medium accuracy
- 3 means maximum accuracy
There are many ways to setup a server that can accept messages pushed from Sensor Logger -- from off-the-shelf solutions to running the server yourself. Here are some pointers to get you started. It is recommended (but not required) for servers to respond with HTTP code 200. If the server responds with HTTP code 499 and the body contains text, then this message will be shown to the user (once per recording).
To simply consume and explore the data, you may want to use something like https://requestbin.com/. To plot the data in real-time, you may need something more custom. See https://github.com/mhaberler/sensorlogger-telegraf for a solution using telegraf.
Also checkout Timeplus, a real-time streaming analytics platform: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iWA8FHjyatE. They also offer a dockerised solution. See https://github.com/timeplus-io/proton/tree/develop/examples/awesome-sensor-logger
Thanks to Harshad Joshi, you can find a javascript implementation using nodejs for a webserver that is designed for Sensor Logger: https://github.com/hj91/json-server
If you prefer sticking with Python, here is an implementation using Plotly Dash to get you started. Dash is powered by Flask under the hood, and provides an easy way to set up a web server for real-time, interactive data visualisation. This code listens on the /data
endpoint, filters only the values from the accelerometer and plots it. The update_graph()
callback is triggered every UPDATE_FREQ_MS
, and updates the plot with any accumulated measurements so far. You will have to customise this script yourself if you want to plot measurements from other sensors.

app.run_server(port=8000, host="0.0.0.0")
Run this Python script and visit http://localhost:8000/
on your computer. Then you have to enter the correct Push URL in Sensor Logger on your phone under the settings page. To find out the localhost of the device you are running the websever on, you can, for example, do something like this in Python.
import socket
hostname = socket.gethostname()
print(socket.gethostbyname(hostname))
For example, if it returns 192.168.1.168
, then you want to enter http://192.168.1.168:8000/data
in Sensor Logger. Use the "Tap to Test Pushing" button to test whether Sensor Logger can properly reach the endpoint. If you get a 200 response, then you are good to go! Start a recording as usual, and you should begin to see data being streamed in:
Based on user-submitted feedback, Sensor Logger is being use for a lot of applications -- for researchers and hobbyists alike. Here are a few to get you started. Let me know, and I will feature your use case here as well!
