Spirit Level & Stud Finder

Only for iPhone

$1.99

iPhone

Launch offer: DIY Companion is £1.99 until 6 September. Five precision DIY tools in one app, with no ads, no subscriptions and no tracking. Ever. Turn your iPhone into a proper DIY toolkit. Five precision tools for the jobs that actually come up — hanging a shelf, mounting a TV, working in a dark cupboard. Buy it once and own it: no ads, no subscriptions, no data collection. SPIRIT LEVEL A real-time bubble level using your iPhone's accelerometer. Works flat on a surface or held vertically against a wall. Haptic feedback fires the moment you hit perfectly level. WALL SCANNER Sweep your phone along a wall to detect metal — studs, screws, pipes, and wiring. Automatically calibrates to your environment so readings are accurate wherever you are. Adjustable sensitivity for different wall materials. NOISE METER Measure ambient sound levels in real time. See an approximate dB reading, a colour-coded level indicator, and a resettable peak marker — useful on job sites, in workshops, or when checking room acoustics. RULER A screen ruler calibrated to your specific iPhone model. Accurate tick marks in centimetres and inches. Automatically switches to landscape orientation to give you the longest possible measurement. TORCH Fine-grained brightness control over the camera flash — perfect for inspecting dark spaces under stairs, behind panels, or inside wall cavities. ONE APP, NOT FIVE GADGETS A spirit level, a stud detector, a sound meter and a tape measure cost many times what this app does — and none of them are in the drawer when you need them. DIY Companion is a single one-time purchase. No subscription, no adverts, no account to create, and it works completely offline. PRIVACY FIRST DIY Companion does not collect, store, or transmit any data. No analytics. No tracking. Everything stays on your device. Whether you're a seasoned DIYer or just hanging your first picture, DIY Companion gives you the essentials in one tidy app. Note: sensor accuracy depends on your device's hardware and calibration. DIY Companion is not a substitute for professional tools on safety-critical work.

Ratings & Reviews

  • This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.

First update since launch. • Torch — it now remembers your chosen brightness. Switch it off and back on and you're back at the level you set, instead of jumping to full beam. • Ruler — calibration now saves exactly the scale you lined your card up against. Fixes a case on iPad where the saved scale could differ from the one shown on screen. • Wall Scanner — now waits until you've read the safety notice before it starts scanning. • Reliability fixes to the torch. Found a bug, or want a tool added? hello@cttech.io — and if DIY Companion has been useful, a rating helps a one-person app more than you'd think.
