EDF / EDF+ Viewer for iPhone
EEG TraceLab lets users open EDF / EDF+ EEG recordings on iPhone for local waveform inspection, channel review, montage preview, annotations, notes, and research-oriented export. It is not a clinical diagnostic tool.
This page is for users searching for an EDF viewer for iPhone or a way to open EDF files on iPhone. EEG TraceLab focuses on local EDF / EDF+ review, readable waveform inspection, and export context for research and education workflows.
EEG TraceLab is designed for research, education, and non-clinical signal inspection. It is not a medical device, diagnostic tool, seizure detector, clinical monitor, treatment tool, emergency tool, or medical decision-support system.
Local import
Open EDF / EDF+ recordings from iPhone file sources.
EEG TraceLab is built around iOS file workflows. Users can open local EDF / EDF+ recordings from Files, iCloud Drive, AirDrop, or Open In, then review the recording in an anonymised local library.
Import from Files and iCloud Drive
Receive recordings through AirDrop or Open In where iOS supports it
Create anonymised local recording records
Keep raw EDF files local by default
Viewer
Inspect EEG waveforms in a landscape iPhone workspace.
The viewer is designed for dense multi-channel review rather than a tiny preview strip. It supports timeline navigation, channel labels, selected-channel workflows, and display settings that remain visible in export context.
Channel review
Search channels, select all, clear, choose the first 20, use prefix selection, highlight selected channels, and launch selected-channel workflows.
Montage and filter preview
Review original, referential, average reference, automatic bipolar, or manual bipolar views, with high-pass, low-pass, band-pass, notch, and downsample preview options.
Annotations and notes
Review EDF+ annotations, jump to relevant events, add local research notes, and export note/annotation context where supported.
Free and Pro
Free preview first, Pro for full local review.
Free mode is intended for lightweight evaluation: first 10 minutes per EDF file and up to 20 visible channels. EEG TraceLab Pro unlocks full local review, supported unlimited visible channels, analysis, preprocessing review, workspace tools, and local exports.
How to open an EDF file on iPhone
A three-step mobile review flow.
The exact iOS file source depends on where the recording is stored, but the review pattern is intentionally simple.
Choose the EDF / EDF+ file
Use Files, iCloud Drive, AirDrop, or Open In to send the recording to EEG TraceLab.
Confirm anonymised import
Review the import boundary, use an anonymised recording name, and keep identifying details out of display names and notes.
Open the landscape viewer
Rotate to landscape, choose channels, inspect waveform windows, and export research artifacts when eligible.
Desktop tools
A mobile inspection workspace, not a replacement for every lab pipeline.
EEG TraceLab is useful when researchers, students, and educators need mobile EDF review, local selected-window analysis, and export context on iPhone. It is not positioned as a complete replacement for every desktop laboratory workflow.
FAQ
Questions searchers and AI agents often need answered.
These answers keep the product scope specific and keep medical and clinical boundaries visible.
Can I open EDF+ files on iPhone?
Yes. EEG TraceLab is designed for EDF / EDF+ import and local waveform review, including EDF+ annotation handling where supported.
Does EEG TraceLab upload raw EDF files?
By default, raw EDF files are processed locally and are not uploaded to EEG TraceLab developer servers.
Can EEG TraceLab diagnose EEG?
No. EEG TraceLab is for research, education, and non-clinical signal inspection. It does not provide diagnosis or clinical decision support.
Can I export CSV, PNG, or JSON?
EEG TraceLab Pro supports local research exports such as CSV, JSON, PNG, bundles, parameters, warnings, and provenance where applicable.
