Measure

A tape measure in your camera.

An AR tape measure for Android phones. Point it at a floor, a table or a wall, tap + at one end and + at the other, and read the distance.

Free, with no ads, no purchases and no tracking. Not now, and not later.

Coming soon to Google Play

Free, for good.

Measure has no ads, no in-app purchases, no subscription and no “Pro” version, and it never will. It’s a small, useful tool, and it should just work.

  • No ads. Not a banner, not a video, not a “watch this to continue”.
  • Nothing to buy. Every feature is there the first time you open it.
  • No account. It opens straight to the camera. No sign-up, no tour.
  • No tracking. No analytics, no advertising IDs, nothing counted.
  • No internet access. The app doesn’t ask for it, so nothing you measure or photograph can be sent anywhere by the app.

What it does

Move your phone slowly for a moment while it maps the room; a ring fills as it gets ready. Then aim, and measure.

62 cm

Place a point, then another

A reticle lies flat on the surface under it: floors, tables and walls. A live line and distance follow you from your first point until you tap + again.

Snap to what you’ve placed

Aim near a point you’ve already placed and the reticle snaps to it, with a light tick, so measurements can share corners and run on from one another.

Every measurement, kept on your phone

Each one you finish joins a list grouped by day, in both units if you like. Copy a single value or share the whole list as text. Swipe one away, or clear them all.

Save the view, lines and all

Save the camera view with your measurements drawn on it to your gallery, ready to share. No buttons in the picture, and no watermark.

A level, no camera needed

Stand the phone on its edge, or lay it flat on the surface, and read the tilt in whole degrees. The screen turns amber when it’s level.

Metric or imperial, everywhere

Centimetres and metres, or feet and inches to the nearest ⅛″ or 1/16″. Set it once in Settings and every distance follows, including ones you took before.

  • Haptics when you snap and place, which you can turn off.
  • Works with TalkBack: every control is labelled, and each finished measurement is read out.
  • Designed for the dark, with one warm accent colour.

How accurate is it?

Measurements are approximate, typically within 1–2 cm at room scale. For best results, measure 0.5–5 m away, in good light, on surfaces with some texture.

Plain, shiny or dark surfaces are harder to measure. Please use a real tape measure for anything that has to be exact.

A reading of 1.20 m typically means the real distance is somewhere between 1.18 and 1.22 m.
