QuickVibrator turns your device into a precision haptic controller — with six curated patterns, a tap-to-record studio, peer-to-peer remote control, and a screen-off blackout mode. This guide covers everything you need to get the most out of it.
Getting Started
- Launch the app — you land on the Main Control screen with the power button front and center.
- Tap the power button to start vibrating with the default Continuous pattern.
- Drag the intensity slider up or down to adjust strength. The change takes effect immediately.
- Pick a pattern from the sidebar on the left, or browse the Pattern Library on the right.
- Stop anytime by tapping the power button again, or pressing Space on a keyboard.
On desktop, the app starts in a compact window. Resize it freely or use the sidebar toggle to reclaim screen space.

Vibration Patterns
QuickVibrator ships with six carefully designed presets, organized into two categories:
Basic
Continuous
Steady output for direct, sustained feedback. The simplest and most versatile pattern.
Basic
Pulse
Fast, evenly spaced bursts with a snappy rhythm. Great for alert-style feedback.
Presets
Wave
Builds from soft to strong, then resets. A flowing, dynamic cycle.
Presets
Heartbeat
Double pulse with a longer resting gap. Calm and organic.
Presets
Massage
Deep, repeated pressure with short breathing room between pulses.
Presets
Unwind
Longer, softer rhythm designed for relaxation sessions.
Select a pattern from the sidebar for instant switching, or use the Pattern Library for a detailed preview before activating.

Pattern Studio
Create your own vibration patterns by tapping rhythms with your finger (or mouse on desktop).
How to Record
- Navigate to Pattern Studio from the sidebar.
- Tap Start recording to begin.
- Hold the record button to vibrate; release to pause. The app captures your exact timing.
- When finished, tap Save to name and keep your pattern, or Discard to start over.
Each custom pattern can contain up to 50 taps and lasts a maximum of 30 seconds. Longer or more complex patterns should be split into multiple saves.
Managing Custom Patterns
- Custom patterns appear in the sidebar under the Patterns section alongside presets.
- Use the Audition & Review panel to preview, rename, or delete custom patterns.
- Reset Library removes all custom patterns but keeps the six factory presets.

Peer-to-Peer Connection
Connect two devices over your local network for remote vibration control.

- On one device, tap Connect to Peer in the sidebar’s P2P section.
- The app scans for nearby QuickVibrator instances automatically.
- Tap a discovered device to connect, or enter an IP address manually.
- Once connected, either device can control vibration on the other.

Tips & Tricks
Use Blackout Mode with a Session Timer for a hands-free relaxation session. Set the timer, enable blackout, and let the app run.
Record a custom pattern with uneven timing for a more natural, organic feel. Perfect rhythms can feel mechanical.
On desktop, use keyboard shortcuts to control vibration without touching the mouse. Great for multitasking.
The intensity slider responds to fine adjustments. For subtle changes, drag slowly near the low end of the range.

Troubleshooting
| Issue | Solution |
|---|---|
| No vibration on mobile | Check that your device supports haptic feedback. Some tablets lack vibration hardware. |
| P2P devices not found | Ensure both devices are on the same Wi-Fi network. Firewalls or guest networks may block discovery. |
| Custom pattern feels different | Recording captures your exact tap timing. Re-record with deliberate, consistent taps for cleaner results. |
| Blackout screen won’t dismiss | Tap anywhere on the screen to exit blackout mode. |
| Timer didn’t stop vibration | The timer only auto-stops when the countdown reaches zero. Check that you set the correct duration. |
