Volume Shader for Android
The viral GPU test. Now native.
The same Mandelbulb stress test people use to compare phones, rebuilt in Kotlin and OpenGL ES for smoother controls and fewer freezes.

Built for the phones that made the test go viral
Millions of people already know Volume Shader BM in the browser. The Android app keeps that identity and replaces the old WebView wrapper with a dedicated graphics thread, so the interface stays responsive while the GPU is under load.
- Native OpenGL ES renderer, not a Chromium WebView
- Drag to rotate, pinch to zoom, two-finger pan
- Complexity levels from Simple to Extreme
- Run times of 30 seconds, 1 minute, or Forever
- Save and share your FPS score

Same rules when you compare phones
Use the same complexity level and the same run time on every device. Standard is the everyday pick, while Extreme can crush entry-level GPUs.
Scores are real timed measurements such as FPS, operations per second, and MB/s. They are not marketing points.
- Match the complexity level
- Match the run time
- Let the phone cool down first
- Close background apps
Your scores stay on your phone
No account. No advertising ID. Camera, microphone, and location are only requested when you open a tool that needs them, and that data is processed on your device.
