Ruler, bubble level, flashlight, QR scanner, compass, voice recorder, dB meter
Just a Toolbox puts the everyday and measuring tools you reach for in your pocket: a ruler, a bubble level, a flashlight, a QR code scanner, a voice recorder with notes and photos, a sound meter, a compass, a stopwatch and timer, a metronome, a scientific calculator and more. Every tool has a short "how to use" guide, one tap away.
Measure anything. Trust the number. Each measuring tool shows a badge (EXACT, HIGH, MEDIUM or APPROXIMATE) that tells you honestly how far its reading can be trusted on a phone, based on published studies and standards.
EVERYDAY TOOLS
• Flashlight: a bright torch with brightness control, strobe light, SOS signal and an auto-off timer. Phones without a flash get a screen light.
• Voice notes and voice recorder: write quick notes or meeting notes, record voice memos and add photos, all saved in one note, like a reporter's notebook. Tap MARK while recording to stamp the time of an important moment, then jump straight back to it. Search, pin and sort notes by category.
• QR code scanner and generator: scan QR codes and barcodes, open links, copy text, or create your own QR code for a website, Wi-Fi network, contact or text.
• Calculator: a simple calculator and a scientific calculator (sin, cos, tan, log, powers, roots, factorial) with history.
• Stopwatch, timer and Pomodoro: a lap stopwatch to the hundredth of a second, a countdown timer with alarm, and a Pomodoro focus timer for work and study.
MEASURE
• Ruler: a true-size ruler in centimetres, millimetres and inches for when there's no tape measure around, worked out from your screen. Calibrate it with a bank card for ±0.3 mm.
• Bubble level: a spirit level and inclinometer for shelves, frames and pictures. Use it upright, sideways or flat as a bullseye level, with a calibration that cancels your phone's own error. About ±0.2°.
• Protractor and angle finder: measure angles and slopes, use a plumb line, or find the angle between two surfaces.
• Bolt and drill gauge: true-size circles for M2 to M12 bolts, screws and drill bits, with thread pitch, tap drill, clearance hole, spanner and hex key sizes from the ISO standards.
SOUND
• Sound meter: a decibel meter (dB) to check how loud it is, with the A-weighting real noise meters use, LEQ, min and max. Calibrate it against a real meter.
• Frequency analyzer and tuner: the pitch of any steady note in Hz, the musical note and cents, to tune a guitar or other instrument.
• Tone generator: pure test tones from 20 Hz to 20 kHz.
• Metronome: a steady beat from 30 to 250 BPM with tap tempo, time signatures, accents and subdivisions, timed by the phone's audio clock so the beat stays steady.
SENSORS
• Compass with true north and magnetic field strength.
• Metal detector: finds iron and steel, such as nails and screws near the surface of a wall.
• Light meter: brightness in lux for rooms, desks and plants.
• Barometer and altimeter: air pressure and height change.
• Vibration meter: frequency and strength of a vibration.
• GPS speedometer: speed, top speed and distance.
CALCULATE
• Unit converter: length, area, volume, weight, temperature, pressure, torque and more, with exact factors.
• Ohm's law calculator for volts, amps, ohms and watts.
• Resistor color code calculator for 4, 5 and 6 bands.
Tap the heart on any tool to keep it at the top, and add tools to your home screen as widgets, including a stopwatch that runs right on the home screen.
Private by design: your notes, recordings and measurements stay on your phone. The microphone, camera, location and sensors are used only while their tool is open.
Free, with a few gentle ads that never appear on tool screens. Pay once to remove them and support new tools.
