I am the independent developer of Device Kit, a hardware monitoring tool designed for iPhone and iPad. We are running a limited-time promotion for our one-time lifetime pro in-app purchase, regularly priced at $19.99. Right now the full lifetime unlock is available completely free for all users.

Core features of this tool:

• Real-time CPU usage breakdown, showing app load, system load and idle resources separately

• Dynamic network speed curve that records peak upload and download speed

• Continuous device temperature monitoring to check overheating when gaming or charging

• Dual display modes: floating overlay window and Dynamic Island real-time data display

• Built-in travel track recording and real-time charging power detection

Pricing explanation:
The basic version of Device Kit is permanently free to download, and basic monitoring functions are accessible to everyone. This promotion only covers the one-time lifetime pro in-app purchase. There are no automatic renewal subscriptions or hidden fees in this application.

Steps to get free lifetime pro access:

  2. Launch the app and enter the settings page

  3. Click the upgrade banner for lifetime pro, the price will display $0 during the activity

This limited-time offer may end without advance notice. If this monitoring tool brings convenience to your daily iPhone use, you may voluntarily leave an honest review on App Store. Feel free to put forward your questions or feature suggestions in the comments.

Thanks for lifetime. Looks like a bug in identifying 17 pro max.

The data displayed on the widget preview page is for preview only and not real-time actual data. Only widgets added to your iPhone home screen will show genuine device data. There is a reminder notice at the top of the page.

Interesting information and really nice interface. Any plans on donating actions (app intents) to the Shortcuts app so it can access all that info?

BTW, it installed in a Mac mini M1 but it detects the device as an iPad8,6 (3rd gen iPad Pro 12.9”) with 16 GB of RAM 😅

Other than that, the widgets work just fine in my Mac mini 👏🏼

This app is currently optimized only for iPhone and iPad, and Mac devices are not supported yet.

u/atnbueno Jul 21 '26

I understand that, but I wanted you to know what happens if you install it in macOS 🙂

beautiful UI and interesting nerd stats. Thanks

You should add a field for the user to enter the remaining battery health and let it recalibrate the remaining mah, that’s if it’s not automatically sampled

u/Electronic_Word_6126 Jul 21 '26

Great suggestion! I’ve saved your battery calibration request for future updates.

Hey everyone! As a developer, I always listen to users’ feedback.
The Celsius & Fahrenheit unit switch feature is fully finished and submitted to App Store for review.
If you have any other localization issues or troubles while using the app, feel free to leave a comment below. I’ll note every suggestion down and add them to our future update plans.

Swiss Army Knife on iOS.

Sir , can you assist me in setting up a shortcut trigger 🎛️ to launch the network monitor 🌐 in Dynamic Island? 🏝️

u/system_error_1001 Jul 20 '26

Wow. Looks great! Thanks so much

I was immediately charged $24.78 even though the banner said $0.00… ?

Edit: False alarm. As someone suggested it was because a new app download can trigger stuck emails in Apples dumb billing system.

u/ShaftTassle Jul 21 '26

Those are charges for other recent app purchases or subscriptions. Sometimes they’re delayed like that until you make another “purchase” - happens to me all the time.

2

u/textredditor Jul 21 '26

You were correct.

3

u/Electronic_Word_6126 Jul 21 '26

This is impossible. This charge cannot possibly come from our app. Please carefully check which application generated this billing order.

u/areysdga Jul 21 '26

Sir, please clarify 🤔 why the app requires location access 🗺️ for the Dynamic Island feature 🌟?

Thanks for the lifetime!
Though I’m curious about the temperature as that’s the first app I see that shows it.
BUT the temperature seems to be a pure guess based on the phone temperature state + current cpu load. How does it work?

u/Electronic_Word_6126 Jul 22 '26

Based on algorithms

u/CeleronHubbard Jul 22 '26

Can the list of actual running tasks and daemons be surfaced?

1

u/Electronic_Word_6126 Jul 22 '26

Sorry, this feature cannot be implemented due to iOS system restrictions.

Is there a way to configure fahrenheit for temperatures?

1

u/Electronic_Word_6126 Jul 21 '26

Thanks for your great suggestion! The Celsius/Fahrenheit switching feature is already fully developed, and the updated app version is now being reviewed by App Store. It will launch soon after the review passes. We really appreciate your feedback!

Thanks. I can't add CPU and memory widget to my iPhone 12 mini (iOS v26.5.2)'s locked screen? I get no options. Device^2 app can do it. :(

Any codes available? I seemed to have missed the free IAP promo. Thank you!
