Plumb Tape: AR Tape Measure

About

MEASURE IT WHERE IT STANDS. Plumb Tape turns your iPhone into a camera tape measure. Point it at what you need sized up, tap a start point, drag to the end, and read the real-world distance right on screen. No fumbling with a reel, no second set of hands, no writing numbers on a scrap of drywall. Built on Apple's ARKit — and using the LiDAR scanner for extra depth accuracy on the iPhones and iPads that have it — Plumb Tape locks its endpoints to the world so the reading holds steady while you move the phone to check it. BUILT FOR THE JOB, NOT THE LAB • Level-aware snapping catches clean edges and corners, and locks the run dead horizontal or vertical when you want a straight pull. • A zoom loupe pops up as you place each point, so you drop it exactly on the corner instead of near it. • A haptic ratchet ticks off the length as you drag — you feel the measurement, not just read it. • Read in feet-and-inches or metric, rounded to the fraction you work in — from 1/2" all the way to exact. • Big, high-contrast controls and thick borders built for the field and bright sun. SAVE THE PROOF Tap Save and Plumb Tape stores the measurement together with a photo of the scene — with the tape drawn right on it. Everything lands in your Saved ledger: searchable, pinnable, and time-stamped, with an optional jobsite location stamp, a title, and notes. SHARE A CLEAN RECORD Export your saved measurements as a PDF or PNG ledger, or back the whole set up to a .plumb file. Turn on Export Branding to stamp your own business name, contact info, and logo on every export — a tidy paper trail for the client, the GC, or your own records. WORKS WITH ZERO BARS Everything runs on the device. No account, no login, no cloud, no network needed — measure in a basement, a bare shell, or the middle of nowhere. WHO IT'S FOR Carpenters, remodelers, framers, drywallers, painters, electricians, plumbers, inspectors, movers, and DIYers — anyone who needs a fast, close-enough dimension and a record of it. ENGLISH & SPANISH The whole app, including your exports, in English or Spanish. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Plumb Tape collects nothing. No tracking, no ads, no analytics, no third-party SDKs. Your measurements and photos never leave the phone unless you send them yourself with the iOS share sheet. ONE PRICE, THAT'S IT A one-time purchase unlocks the whole app. No subscriptions, no in-app purchases, no paywalls, ever. A note on accuracy: AR measurements are fast estimates for planning and reference. For cuts, code, or anything safety-critical, confirm with a physical tape or laser.
