Light Meter turns your iPhone into an ambient light meter that explains what the reading means. Point your phone, get a lux value, and instantly see a plain-English interpretation: "Bright indirect light — good for most indoor plants" or "Too dim for comfortable desk work." Unlike other light meter apps that show a raw number and leave you guessing, Light Meter tells you whether the light is actually adequate for what you need. MEASURE WITH MEANING • Instant lux and foot-candle readings from your front camera • Contextual labels for plants, desks, rooms, and photography • Two modes: Quick Check (instant) or White Paper (improved accuracy) • No extra hardware or diffuser needed for Quick Check mode COMPARE SPOTS SIDE BY SIDE • Measure Spot A, then Spot B — see the ratio instantly • "Spot B is 2.8× brighter" — answers the real question • Perfect for finding the best window, desk, or plant corner SAVE & SHARE RESULTS • Save readings with timestamps to track changes over time • Generate shareable result cards for plant groups and social media • Review measurement history and comparison results anytime BUILT FOR REAL PEOPLE, NOT LAB TECHNICIANS Light Meter is designed for plant owners checking if a shelf gets enough light, remote workers evaluating desk brightness, photographers scouting locations, and anyone who wants a quick answer about lighting — not a wall of technical data. HOW IT WORKS 1. Open the app and point the front camera at any spot 2. Get a live lux reading with contextual interpretation 3. Compare two locations side by side 4.
