Tapewise: AR Ruler & Measure

Tapewise turns your phone's camera into a tape measure — and, unlike other measuring apps, it tells you how far to trust every number.

Point at a floor, wall or table, tap to place points, and read the distance. Next to each measurement Tapewise shows an honest margin (for example "2.41 m ± 1.5 cm"), based on how far away you are and what the camera locked onto. No other ruler app does this, and it is the difference between "the sofa should fit" and knowing it will.

MEASURE
• Line — the distance between two points
• Path — add up several segments: skirting, cable runs, shelves
• Area — outline a rug, worktop or wall to get its area and perimeter
• Height — tap the floor, raise the phone to the top: doors, ceilings, furniture
• Ruler — a real-size on-screen ruler for small things, calibrated with any bank card, and it works on every phone

KEEP IT
• Save measurements with a drawing to scale and every edge labelled
• Add notes: paint colour, flooring, what fits where
• Share the figures as text in one tap
• Metric or imperial (feet, inches and eighths), set automatically from your region

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No account. Nothing you measure leaves your phone. The camera is used only while you measure and nothing is recorded.

For the best results use good light, textured surfaces and a distance of 0.5–3 m. iPhones with LiDAR are the most precise. For anything you will cut or order, double-check critical dimensions with a physical tape — Tapewise's margin tells you when that matters.
