A photo of a strip.
A read you can trust.
Stop squinting at color charts. Ally reads every pad on a supported strip and hands back numbers you can review, correct, and save.
Four small moves.
From strip to a saved reading.
Dip your test
Use your supported strip or kit as you normally would. Dip, wait, and pull it out.
Snap a photo
Open Ally and frame the strip in good light. The capture guide does the rest.
Ally reads the color
Ally isolates each pad and converts color to a numeric reading you can review or correct.
Act with intent
See each parameter and a suggested next step you can choose to save.
Built for the way you actually test.
Quiet, careful, repeatable.
Careful interpretation
Ally reads pads and flags low confidence readings so you can retake instead of committing to a soft read.
One capture, full strip
Every pad in one photo. No comparing pads one by one to a chart on the counter.
Logged automatically
Each test is timestamped with the photo so trends stay honest over time.
Works across water
Aquariums, pools, and spas. Photo assisted strip reading and manual entry for master kits.
Suggested next step
Ally pairs a reading with a suggestion for you to review; you decide whether to save the task.
Capture coaching
Ally tells you when lighting or angle will hurt the read before you commit.
The kit you already own.
Probably on the list.
- Common aquarium test strips
- Common pool test strips
- Common spa test strips
- Liquid master test kits (manual entry supported)
Photo assisted reading covers common aquarium, pool, and spa strips. Master kits are supported via manual entry. If a specific strip you use is not working well, tell us in the app.
Three small moments.
Steadier water.
The weekly read
Snap a photo of a multi parameter strip and your week's chemistry is filed in the log.
Verify, don't guess
Snap a second strip an hour after the change and confirm everything settled where you expected.
A second opinion
Reshoot the same strip from a better angle. Ally flags low confidence so you never act on a bad read.
