NEW: AI Identify tells you what your reading actually means — nail, pipe, rebar or conduit — before you drill. Free to try, no account needed. Now on iOS 18+.
Turn your phone into a magnetic field scanner. Find the nail, the stud, the pipe behind the drywall — then ask AI what you're actually looking at.
Lodestone reads your phone's built-in magnetometer and turns raw magnetic data into something you can act on. No extra hardware. No account. Works offline.
WHAT IT FINDS
- Nails and screws — locate the stud without guessing
- Pipes, conduit and rebar behind walls, floors and concrete
- Steel and iron objects at short range
- Magnetic field anomalies and EMF hot spots
- Magnetic north, with a built-in compass mode
AI IDENTIFY — WHAT NOTHING ELSE DOES
Every other detector app hands you a number and leaves you to guess. Lodestone sends the signal profile — peak strength, shape, duration — to an AI that tells you what it's likely reading, in plain language.
"Sharp, narrow spike at 34 µT, consistent with a drywall nail. Sweep 16 inches left to confirm stud spacing."
Add a photo and it reads that too. If a pattern looks like electrical conduit, it flags it before you put a drill through it.
FIVE SCAN MODES
Metal — general ferrous detection
Stud & Nail — tuned tight for framing
Pipe & Rebar — slower, for larger buried steel
EMF — field anomalies and electrical noise
Compass — heading from the same sensor
BUILT FOR ACTUAL USE
- Calibrates to your environment in 3 seconds
- Audio tone, haptic pulse and visual gauge — use it without looking at the screen
- Live 60-second signal graph so you can see where the peak was
- Save finds with a note, photo and location
- Daylight and red-only Night themes for sunlight and crawlspaces
- Adjustable sensitivity and response
HONEST ABOUT WHAT IT CAN'T DO
Most apps in this category promise buried treasure. We won't.
Your phone has a magnetometer, not a search coil. That means Lodestone detects iron, steel and magnets at close range — typically a few centimetres, further for large objects. It cannot reliably detect aluminium, copper, gold or silver, because those metals aren't magnetic.
It is not a substitute for a professional cable locator, and it is not a safety device. Always confirm with a proper tool and check for utilities before you drill, cut or dig.
If you want a treasure detector, buy a real one. If you want to find the stud, the nail, or the pipe in front of you — this is the sharpest tool on your phone.
