About

RulerApp

Features
Read full description

Turn your iPhone or iPad into a precise on-screen ruler. Hold any small object against the screen and read its exact size — no tape measure, no guesswork. FEATURES • Accurate out of the box — no manual calibration. Ruler scale is calculated from your exact device's screen density. • Switch between centimeters, inches, or both at once. • Drag to drop a crosshair anywhere and read precise X/Y measurements from the corner. • Toggle a grid overlay (off, major lines, or major + minor) for finer alignment. • iPad extras: hover measurements with a trackpad or Apple Pencil, and keyboard shortcuts (U for units, G for grid) with a hardware keyboard. Simple, fast, and always in your pocket.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: RulerApp at none against Timer's 3. RulerApp also leads on ads (none vs shown). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
