## What is Meter?

Meter is a reading log for every utility meter you are responsible for – for home owners or multi estate workers.

A READING IS A PHOTO
Point the camera at the meter, tap, done. Meter recognizes the value in the picture, reads the meter number and assigns the reading to the right meter. Several meters in a row? Just keep shooting – analysis runs in the background.

SEVERAL HOUSES, NO MESS
Addresses and meters are created automatically as you take readings. Electricity, gas and water sit neatly side by side, sorted by house, each with its latest value. For every reading, Meter also notes the meter's manufacturer, model and condition – and you can overwrite that at any time.

CONSUMPTION OVER TIME
For every meter, Meter charts the daily consumption between two readings. Pinch with two fingers to zoom into a period; the scale adapts automatically.

BACK UP AND MOVE
All readings can be exported as CSV and imported again at any time – for your tax accountant, the utility bill, a spreadsheet or your next iPhone.

WORKS IN THE BASEMENT
No signal while reading? No problem. Photos are stored and analyzed as soon as you are back online.

YOUR DATA STAYS WITH YOU
No account, no sign-up, no ads, no tracking. Readings and photos live on your iPhone. For text recognition, only the meter photo itself is processed – no names, no identifiers.
