The Kinni app comes with a fully functional inclinometer in the app.
This allows you to measure the incline of your treadmill by holding your phone’s flat edge on the treadmill.
How do I measure the incline of my treadmill?
To measure your treadmill’s incline using the Kinni app:
- Open the Kinni app
- Go to Settings
- Open the Inclinometer
- Rest your device on its side on the treadmill.

How does this work on a smartphone?
The inclinometer in the Kinni app works with your device’s built-in accelerometer, magnetometer & gyroscope sensors.
We use the sensor readings and the “orientation” of the device (portrait/landscape) to calculate the rotation around a specific axis in space relative to the direction of gravity.
This then gives us a basic representation of the slope of the surface the device is resting on, and this is what we display in the app!
