WallSense - Stud Finder

Turn your smartphone into an accurate wall scanner with WallSense. Designed for DIYers, handymen, and homeowners, WallSense utilizes your device’s built-in magnetometer sensor to detect hidden drywall screws, nails, metal studs, and pipes before you drill, hang, or mount.

Hanging heavy shelves, TV mounts, or artwork shouldn't involve guesswork. WallSense provides clean, high-precision magnetic field tracking (measured in microteslas, µT) to help you locate the exact center of structural fasteners anchored into wooden and metal studs.

KEY FEATURES

• Fastener Peak Tracking: Visual signal indicators track microtesla variations in real time, pinpointing the exact location of drywall screws and stud centers.
• Instant Zero Calibration: Tap once to baseline background magnetic interference from nearby hardware, ensuring clean, accurate wall scans every time.
• Precision Audio & Haptic Alerts: Receive real-time sound frequency changes and vibration feedback as you pass over hidden metal, allowing for easy blind scanning.
• Live Magnetic Radar Gauge: A clear, responsive signal strength meter provides instant visual confirmation in both low-light and bright outdoor conditions.
• Sensor Location Wizard: Quickly locate your specific phone model's internal magnetic sensor position for pinpoint marking accuracy on your wall.

PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS

• Mounting flatscreen TVs, heavy mirrors, cabinets, and shelving units.
• Finding wooden stud locations by tracking the vertical line of drywall screws.
• Locating hidden metal pipes, conduit, rebar, and framing before drilling.
• Avoiding costly structural damage and unnecessary wall patches.

HOW TO USE WALLSENSE

1. Tap 'Calibrate' while holding your phone in open air away from metal.
2. Place your device flat against the wall surface.
3. Slide the phone slowly horizontally across the scanning area.
4. Watch for signal spikes: peak µT readings identify the precise location of metal fasteners driven into wall studs.

Note: WallSense requires a smartphone equipped with a magnetic sensor (magnetometer) to function.
