Detect Wheel Imbalances with Your Phone

Qnut uses your smartphone's built-in sensors to help identify potential wheel imbalances while you drive.

How Qnut Works

What to expect? →
📱

1. Measure Vibrations

Mount your phone securely on a hard surface in your vehicle. The app uses your phone's accelerometer to detect vibrations while driving. Imbalanced wheels create distinctive vibration patterns that vary with speed.

2. Analyze & Visualize

The app processes vibration data and displays it as a spectrogram, showing frequency patterns across different speeds to help identify potential wheel issues.

⚠️
