About
100+ trade calculators with Bluetooth tool integration, project tracking, and iCloud sync — all backed by current NEC, IPC, IRC, and IFGC code tables.
Contractor's Cheatsheet covers 8 trades in one app.
Bluetooth laser meters feed measurements directly into distance fields. Bluetooth multimeters stream live voltage and resistance readings for real-time verification. The Record Over Time feature catches sags, spikes, and intermittent faults you'd miss with a spot check.
Every calculation is automatically logged to the Session Tape — a searchable, timestamped record of your workday. Organize calculations by job with the Project system, add field notes, and generate PDF reports to hand off to your GC or email to the office. iCloud keeps projects in sync across all your devices.
