Measuring tools

Measuring tools in the browser: hold an on-screen ruler or protractor against an object, level a shelf with a bubble level, measure an angle, noise level or brightness, and read your speed from GPS.

Sound Level Meter

Measure noise levels in decibels using your device microphone. Free, private.

Cable current meter

Lay the phone on an appliance’s cable and see whether current is flowing, and how much.

Light flicker meter

Point the camera at a lamp or a screen and read its flicker frequency, depth and risk level.

Traffic speed by sound

Put the phone near the road, listen, and read the speed of each vehicle that goes past.

Gyroscope drift meter

How long your phone still knows which way it is pointing.

Height and distance by tilt

How tall is that, and how far away — with an error bar.

Air leak and draft finder

Find the gap, not just the draft.

Color meter with screen light

Measure a color without the room changing the answer.

RPM Meter

Five ways to read rotation speed: by sound, by a marker in the camera, by the phone's gyroscope, by screen strobe and by a printable strobe disc. Plus lamp flicker and PWM.

GPS Speedometer

See your real speed from GPS: max, average, distance and track export. Check what your dashboard reads against true speed. No install.

Bubble Level

Digital spirit level using your phone's sensors — 2D surface bubble, inclinometer, plumb line and camera AR with angle export.

Compass

Browser compass with true north corrected for declination, bearing hold, a sighting mode and an honest accuracy figure.

Online Protractor

Online protractor with transparent overlay and photo measurement — mm calibration, multi-angle, PNG/PDF/JSON export. Handy for builders, carpenters and students.

Elevation

Find the elevation at any point on a map, build a profile along a route and get the slope in percent and degrees. Coordinates next to the height.

Online Ruler

Free online ruler in actual size. Calibrate to your screen and measure in cm, mm and inches — on screen or on a photo.

Angle Finder

A digital inclinometer that reads tilt in degrees, percent, per-mille and roof pitch — plus a clinometer mode for the height of trees and buildings.

Light Detector

Press Start Camera to activate your camera. The tool will convert light levels into audio tones.
