About Metal Detector (Scanner)
Metal Detector turns your iPhone into a smart magnetic field scanner for everyday checks, DIY projects, and quick on-site inspections. Whether you are scanning walls before drilling, checking for hidden metal-related signal changes, or mapping detection points in a space, Metal Detector provides clear real-time tools for practical everyday use. Using your device’s built-in magnetometer, the app measures nearby magnetic field changes in real time and presents them with a clear gauge, live graph, and directional cues so you can move toward stronger signals faster. Key Features • 3 scanning modes: Metal Detector, Stud Finder, and AR Scanner • Real-time magnetic field visualization with instant signal strength feedback • Detection presets for different use cases (general metal, wall studs, metal studs, pipes/plumbing, and electrical wiring) • AR marker placement to map and revisit detection points in 3D space (supported devices) • Smart calibration and sensitivity controls for different environments • Sound and haptic feedback for hands-free scanning • Support for µT and mG units Built for Practical Use • Locate hidden metal-like magnetic disturbances behind walls • Assist with wall scanning before drilling or mounting • Track signal peaks and compare scans over time • Save sessions and review details later Important Notes • Results depend on your iPhone model, surrounding interference, and scanning technique. • This app detects magnetic field variations and should be used as an aid, not as a substitute for professional detection equipment. • AR Scanner requires AR-capable hardware.
