December 3, 2025

Phruler turns your device into a powerful augmented reality (AR) ruler! Unlike other apps that only measure what the camera sees, Phruler precisely tracks how far your phone moves. This unique approach lets you measure tricky things like the bottom of a cone, distances in low light, or even a moving pet! All core measurement features (3D, horizontal, vertical) are completely free. Save your measurements, add notes or photos, and explore fun facts related to the sizes you discover. Enjoy the full measuring experience at no cost, and optionally support development with a donation to unlock extra visual themes and effects. You can also challenge yourself with measurement games!

Awesome app, nice work!

Great app

A great and precise measuring tool.

Functional and convenient

I’ve started using this app all the time when I need a quick larger scale measurement as a science teacher. It’s fairly accurate (within ~an inch), and easy to use in a messy, chaotic classroom environment.

Fun

I had a blast playing the estimation game!

FAQ

How does Phruler measure objects?

Phruler uses augmented reality to measure objects. You place your device at the start point, move it to the end point, and the app calculates the distance. This method is designed to be more intuitive and accurate than apps relying on tricky aiming.

What makes Phruler's accuracy different?

Unlike some AR apps that struggle with precise aiming, Phruler works like a physical tape measure by tracking your movement from start to finish. This approach aims to eliminate guesswork and provide reliable measurements on supported devices.

Can Phruler measure tricky shapes?

Yes, Phruler is designed to easily measure objects with sharp corners or round surfaces. Its unique method focuses on natural movement rather than locking onto small dots, making it versatile for various shapes.

Does Phruler have different measurement modes?

Phruler offers specialized Vertical and Horizontal modes. These modes lock your measurement to a single axis, ensuring perfect alignment for tasks requiring a perfectly straight line.

What are the subscription options for Phruler?

Phruler offers optional subscription plans. You can subscribe to 'Optional Ruler Themes Month' for $4.99 per month or 'Optional Cosmetics/Themes Year' for $19.99 per year, which provide cosmetic enhancements.

Does Phruler work in low light conditions?

Phruler works best in good light and on textured surfaces, similar to how the human eye functions. For optimal accuracy, it is recommended to measure in well-lit spaces. The app may not perform as well in the dark.

Can I measure with friends using Phruler?

Yes, Phruler supports Shared AR sessions. You can team up with a friend to measure spaces and objects in real-time, which is ideal for collaborative projects.

What units of measurement does Phruler support?

Phruler is globally ready and supports multiple units. It includes Metric, Imperial, and traditional units such as the Japanese Shaku and Chinese Chǐ.
