Introducing Animavox: Why We're Building the Ultimate Ghost Hunting App
We set out to build the most comprehensive paranormal investigation toolkit for iPhone. Here's our story, our vision, and what makes Animavox different from anything else on the App Store.
The Problem We Saw
If you've ever tried ghost hunting with your phone, you've probably experienced the frustration first-hand. The App Store is full of paranormal apps, but most fall into one of two categories: novelty toys with fake readings designed to impress friends, or single-purpose tools that do one thing and nothing else.
Need an EMF meter? That's one app. Want an EVP recorder? Download another. Fancy an SLS-style camera? There might be one buried under a dozen fakes. And good luck finding anything that helps you actually document your investigation in a structured, professional way. We thought that was a problem worth solving.
Our Vision for Animavox
Animavox is built on a simple idea: everything you need for a paranormal investigation should live in a single, beautifully designed app. No more switching between half a dozen tools. No more fake readings. No more losing your evidence because you forgot to save it.
We wanted to build something that respects both the hobby and the technology. Every sensor reading in Animavox comes from real hardware on your iPhone — the magnetometer, barometer, accelerometer, gyroscope, LiDAR sensor, and camera system. We don't fabricate data. We don't add spooky sound effects to make readings seem more dramatic. What you see is what your device actually detects.
What's in the Toolkit
Animavox launches with six professional-grade tools:
- 1. SLS Camera — Powered by ARKit body tracking, our SLS camera detects and maps human-shaped figures in real-time, drawing wireframe skeletons over the camera feed. Green for confirmed humans, red for anomalies.
- 2. EMF Meter — Uses your iPhone's built-in magnetometer to measure electromagnetic field fluctuations in microtesla, with colour-coded gauges and spike alerts.
- 3. EVP Recorder — High-quality audio capture with real-time waveform visualisation, variable playback speed, noise reduction filters, and the ability to bookmark suspicious segments.
- 4. LiDAR Scanner — Maps your environment in stunning 3D with four visualisation modes: point cloud, mesh, heat map, and wireframe. Available on iPhone 13 Pro and newer.
- 5. Sensor Panel — A unified dashboard monitoring EMF, pressure, motion, and thermal data simultaneously. Watch for multi-sensor anomalies on a single screen.
- 6. Investigation Logger — Create cases, log timestamped entries, tag GPS locations, attach media evidence, rate intensity, and export professional PDF reports. All synced to iCloud.
Built for Real Investigators
We've spent months talking to paranormal investigation teams, solo investigators, and hobbyists to understand what they actually need in the field. The result is an app that prioritises usability in dark environments, quick tool switching, and reliable documentation.
The Investigation Logger alone sets Animavox apart. Instead of scribbling notes on paper or trying to remember timestamps after the fact, you can log events in real-time with GPS coordinates, media attachments, and intensity ratings. When the investigation is over, export everything as a clean PDF report.
What's Next
Animavox is available on the App Store with a generous free tier and an affordable Premium subscription that unlocks unlimited sessions, iCloud sync, PDF exports, and an ad-free experience.
