About
Measure any roof's pitch in seconds. Set your phone on a rafter, ridge, or roof deck and Roof Pitch Gauge reads the slope straight from the built-in accelerometer — no string, no level, no math in your head.
The big live readout shows the same pitch four ways at once, so you can talk to anyone on the job:
• x:12 rise over run — the classic roofing pitch, like 4:12, 6:12 or 12:12.
• Degrees — the true angle of the slope.
• Percent grade — handy for low-slope and flat roofs.
• Rafter multiplier — the factor that turns your run into rafter length, so you can order and cut lumber right the first time.
WHAT YOU GET
• Instant accelerometer pitch — lay the phone flat against the surface and read it.
• Four readings together — x:12, degrees, percent, and rafter length factor side by side.
• Hold / freeze — capture a reading on the roof, then read it safely back on the ground.
• Calibrate to zero — null out your phone's case or a known-level surface for a true reading.
• Clean, high-contrast display — easy to read in bright sun or a dim attic.
WHO IT'S FOR
Roofers and roofing estimators, framers and builders, solar installers checking panel tilt, gutter and siding crews, home inspectors, and DIYers re-roofing the shed or sizing rafters for a deck cover.
HOW IT WORKS
Roof Pitch Gauge uses your device's motion sensor as an inclinometer. Rest the phone on the slope you want to measure and read the angle — or hold a reading to check it later.
A NOTE ON ACCURACY
Readings depend on your device's sensor and how flat the phone sits against the surface. Calibrate on a known-level reference first, and treat results as a field estimate, not a substitute for a certified instrument on safety-critical work.

What's New in Roof Pitch Gauge +
1.0.11
August 16, 2026
Your level calibration now stays put. Set the zero once and it is still there the next time you open the app, instead of quietly reverting to the raw sensor reading. Added a way to clear that calibration and start over. Fixed the app sitting on a blank screen after a full-screen ad closed instead of returning to your pitch reading.
