## What is Plumbline Studio?

Plumbline Studio turns your iPhone into a focused measurement bench for carpenters, remodelers, inspectors, installers, and careful homeowners.

Use it when you need a level, plumb check, protractor, slope calculator, flatness scan, or trade math without opening a pile of separate utilities.

Core tools:
- Live bubble level with tap-to-zero calibration
- Dual-axis bullseye readout for cabinets, benches, shelves, and trim
- AR-style plumb planning view for checking vertical alignment
- Protractor and inclinometer with hold-to-lock angle capture
- Slope calculator with rise, run, degrees, percent grade, and ratio
- Stair, rafter, crown, board-foot, and cut-list helpers
- Flatness scan for spotting dips and bumps across a surface
- Project journal for saved measurements, notes, client names, and locations

Plumbline Studio is built around practical job flow. Take a reading, lock it, copy it, save it to a project, and keep moving. The interface is designed for repeated work in a shop, basement, garage, or jobsite, not for a one-time novelty measurement.

The app stores projects locally on your device. Camera and photo access are used only when you choose to attach a reference image to a measurement.


## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.2 — 2026-08-21

Expands the field measurement bench with level, plumb, protractor, slope, flatness, and trade-math tools, plus clearer saved-project workflows for repeated shop and jobsite use.

### 2.1 — 2026-08-06

CutPlanner: Site datums, tolerance chains, cut optimization, and job evidence.

- Establish the site datum, reference face, units, and calibration state
- Capture chained measurements with direction and tolerance
- Nest cuts against actual stock and preserve offcut candidates
- Sequence checks, fasteners, shims, and installation holds
- Issue a cut list and signed measurement report with open exceptions

### 2.0.1 — 2026-06-25

This update sharpens the interface: the iPad layout now uses a centered, comfortable reading width instead of stretching edge to edge, plus small display fixes. iPhone is unchanged.

### 2.0 — 2026-06-21

Plumbline Studio 2.0 — a big pro upgrade to the Pro Calc suite, still 100% offline.

11 new calculators, each with PDF/material-list export where it counts:
• Fraction Calculator & converter: exact feet-inch-sixteenths add, subtract, multiply, divide.
• IRC Span Tables: joist & rafter max clear spans by size, species/grade, and spacing, with a smallest-size recommender.
• Baluster Spacing under the 4" sphere rule, with a mark-out list.
• Tile & Flooring layout with waste and sliver detection.
• Coverage estimator for paint and materials.
• On-Center Layout (stud/joist marks), Roof Pitch (common + hip/valley), Footing Planner, Drywall, Deck Boards, and Insulation R-value estimators.

All math is exact and unit-tested. No account, no network — everything stays on your device.

### 1.3 — 2026-06-15

What's New - Version 1.1

Concrete Calculator - Compute exact cubic yards, cubic feet, and cubic meters for five pour shapes: rectangular slabs and pads, wall footings, round columns, tube forms (Sonotube), and stair step-blocks. Shows bag counts (60 lb or 80 lb bags at Quikrete-published yields), ready-mix cost range, and a quick-reference card with typical slab/footing/column specifications including IRC R403.1 footing minimums.

Angle Math - A dedicated arithmetic tool for deriving angles from a known measurement: complement (90  A), supplement (180  A), bisect (A  2), double (A  2), A + B, A  B, reflex complement (360  A), and A in radians. Capture Angle A or B live from the device's inclinometer with a one-tap lock, or type values manually. Preset buttons for 22.5, 30, 38, 45, 52, 60, and 90. Tap any result to copy it to the clipboard.

Real Flatness Scan - The surface flatness scanner now uses the device's accelerometer to measure actual surface deviation as you slide the phone in an S-pattern. Deviations are mapped to a 96 heatmap (green = flat, red = dip, brass = hump) with live peak, valley, and RMS readings in millimeters. Previously this was an animated demo with no real measurement.
