STUD FINDER – WALL SCAN
Find studs and metal behind walls using your Phone’s built-in sensors.
Stud Finder – Wall Scan turns your Phone into a simple, reliable wall-scanning tool.
Scan walls in real time to locate metal fasteners commonly found in wooden studs, helping you drill and mount with more confidence.
Designed for DIY projects, home mounting, and everyday use — no extra tools required.
HOW IT WORKS
Stud Finder uses your Phone’s built-in sensors to detect magnetic anomalies behind walls.
These anomalies often come from steel nails or screws used to secure wooden studs, as well as some metal pipes or conduits.
As you move your phone slowly across the wall, the app provides live visual, audio, and haptic feedback to guide you toward areas of stronger magnetic signal.

IMPORTANT LIMITATIONS (PLEASE READ)
Stud Finder is designed to assist — not replace — professional tools.
• Detects ferromagnetic metals only (such as steel nails and screws)
• Cannot reliably detect wooden studs without metal fasteners
• Does not safely or reliably detect live electrical wiring
• Accuracy depends on wall thickness, phone model, movement speed, and nearby interference
• Results improve with slow, steady scanning and proper calibration
Always follow standard safety practices when drilling.
TIPS FOR BEST RESULTS
• Move your phone slowly and steadily
• Calibrate before scanning
• Avoid nearby metal objects or electronics
• Scan the same area multiple times for confirmation
