iPhone System Information

Click here to download iPhone SysInfo

SysInfo it allows you to send signals to a process, reboot your iPhone and reload the springboard.

Last but not least SysInfo displays the memory available on your iPhone as well as the current load.

History I wrote this little application to be able to monitor my new iPhone's memory usage during development of some scientific background applications.

Now that mobile internet and telephony has become available for nearly everybody that can read this message, threads of viruses and abuse get more realistic. In fact, it is not that difficult to make applications to tap in your phone and abuse it in several ways such as listen to your conversation or take pictures with the camera, dial $$ numbers, etc. Even when you (think you) turned your phone off! With the great native applications available on the iPhone this gets serious. These applications are not running in the (semi-) secure sandbox as originally designed by Apply or a similar Java environment. Apple should have realized we are adults and we don't want to play in sandboxes anymore; at least, not while that limit's possibilities of this nice little 'black-box'.

Monitoring your phone becomes a need so I decided to publish it here to save you some time.

Donate

If you like the application or even use it you might consider a donation if your budget allows it. Your donation will be used for community software development.

Thank You for your donation!

All the iPhone community software development was made possible thanks to the following people (random order):

Adrien, Kacem, Eric, Ali, Herve, Roland, Wenxiao, Fred, Yuan, Unna, Marcel, Florian, Dirk, Peter, Daniel, Eugenio, Jordi, Miguel, Laura, Arne, Corinne, Len, Guido, Jun, Miguel, Cesareo, Raul, Robert, Kerry, Octavian, Sega, Andres, Petr, Eric, Gaurav, PHansen, Gaby, Stefano, Reynaldo, Bernd, Radek, Matteo, Talgat, Marc, JPWilde, Fariborz, Lluis, Robin, David, and others.

Why donate?

Several times people asked if we will make the applications commercially available when Apple comes with the official SDK. The answer is no, the applications that are free now will be free in the future. You are not donating to be a test user, you are a test user and you are donating to have products improved and stimulate further development.

Consider a small donation yourself, think about the concept of having well written software available for a fair price considered your budget. Success depends on your donation.

We are a commercial company and want to bring you good quality software for a fair price, not for free.
