About Loxley Compass & Level
A compass and a bubble level in one app. That's it. No ads, no sign-up, no location, and nothing watching what you do.
Tap Compass to see which way you're facing: a clear dial with N, E, S and W, a big degree readout, and the cardinal direction underneath. It reads correctly whether the phone is flat in your hand or held upright in front of your face. Tap Level and the same screen becomes a bubble level for hanging a shelf or checking a tabletop. The bubble turns green and reads LEVEL when you're flat.
When the magnetometer drifts, the app says so and offers a one-tap fix. The calibration screen shows a figure-8 to trace in the air and a live accuracy meter, so you can see it climb from Unreliable to High instead of guessing.
Most maps use true north; your phone senses magnetic north. If you need the difference, open True north, read the declination for your area off a printed map or chart, and type it in. The app applies it to your heading and remembers the setting. It does this by hand on purpose, so it never has to ask for your location.
WHAT'S NEW IN 1.2
• Compass and Level are now tabs across the top, the same as the other Loxley apps
• The back button returns to the previous screen instead of leaving the app
WHAT YOU GET
• Compass with a clear dial, degrees, and cardinal heading
• Reads right whether the phone is flat or upright
• Bubble level with pitch and roll, green when level
• Guided calibration with a figure-8 and a live accuracy meter
• Optional true-north correction by manual declination
• Settings stay on your device
• Works offline
THE LOXLEY PROMISE
• No ads, ever
• No tracking, no analytics, no accounts
• No location and no internet permission, so it cannot phone home
• Free, and yours to keep
Loxley Labs makes simple tools the old way: something that does one job well, then stops. No subscriptions, no terms that change after the sale.
