# THREE TOOLS IN ONE: STUDS, LEVELS, AND ANGLES Find the studs behind a wall, check whether a surface is level, and measure or match an angle. Every reading comes with visual, sound, and haptic feedback, so you can keep the phone against the wall and still know what it found. # MAGNETIC STUD FINDER WITH FIVE PRESETS Wooden studs are held by nails and screws, and those are what the magnetometer sees. Choose the preset that matches what you are looking for — Nails in Stud, Metal Stud, Metal Pipe, Electrical Wiring, or High Precision — and the filtering adjusts to it. # ACCURATE BUBBLE LEVEL Horizontal, vertical, and surface bubbles, with the exact tilt in degrees beside them. Set the sound to any axis and you can level a shelf without watching the screen. # ANGLE FINDER WITH A LOCKED REFERENCE Measure an angle, lock it as a target, and match the second cut to the first. The dial shades the gap between the two, so how far off you are is something you see rather than calculate. # FEEDBACK YOU CHOOSE Sound and haptics are configurable per axis and per intensity. Work quietly, or set it loud enough to hear over a drill. # APPLE WATCH COMPANION Mirror the readings to your wrist. The phone stays flat against the wall while you read detection strength, bubble alignment, or the current angle on the watch. # VISUAL INDICATORS THAT SHOW THEIR WORK A strength meter and a history graph, so a peak is visible as a peak rather than as a single number that has already moved. The angle finder draws a full compass with degree markings. # TUTORIALS INCLUDED Step-by-step guides for finding studs, levelling surfaces, and measuring angles, plus how to use the Apple Watch companion. # SUBSCRIPTIONS AND AUTOMATIC RENEWAL - Your subscription includes access to all tools and the Apple Watch companion app. - Payment will be charged to your Apple ID Account at confirmation of purchase. - Subscription automatically renews unless auto-renewal is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. - Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of your selected subscription period. - Subscriptions can be managed and auto-renewal turned off in your App Store Account Settings. # LEGAL Terms of Service: https://cooptimizeit.com/terms-of-service Privacy Policy: https://cooptimizeit.com/privacy-policy # SUPPORT Contact us at info@cooptimizeit.com.
