About

LevelMate

Read full description

LevelMate is a practical bubble level—also known as a spirit level—combined with angle tools, Camera Level, builder calculators and useful measuring utilities. LEVEL, PLUMB AND ANGLES • Bubble Level — check horizontal alignment with a clear real-time bubble and colour feedback. • Plumb Mode — check vertical alignment for walls, posts, frames and other upright surfaces. • Angle Mode — view the device angle while adjusting a surface or object. • Calibration — calibrate on a known level surface and choose the tolerance that suits your task. CAMERA LEVEL Use a live camera grid and level guide to frame photos, videos and visual reference points. LevelMate displays the camera preview locally and does not record, save or upload images or video. BUILDER CALCULATORS • Roof Pitch — enter rise and run to calculate pitch ratio, angle and slope. • Concrete — estimate concrete volume and the approximate number of bags required. • Tile — calculate room area, tile coverage, tile quantity and box count. • Paint — estimate surface coverage and the number of paint cans required. • Brick / Block — estimate materials for a wall from its dimensions. • Stair — plan a basic rise-and-run layout. PRACTICAL TOOLS • Screen Ruler — take quick measurements directly on your device screen. • Unit Converter — convert common metric and imperial values for length, area, volume, weight and angles. PRIVATE AND OFFLINE No account is required. LevelMate contains no advertising or subscriptions, and its core features work without an internet connection. Camera, motion, orientation and calculation information is processed locally on your device and is not uploaded by LevelMate. PLEASE NOTE Sensor-based readings can vary by device, calibration, protective case, surface and positioning. Calibrate before use and verify important measurements with suitable calibrated equipment. LevelMate is a practical aid and should not be the sole measuring method for safety-critical or regulated work.
