Camp Toolbox turns your phone into a complete outdoor toolbox. Every tool works offline, so it's ready whenever you are — even with no signal at the campsite. MEASURE • Ruler — measure length on screen in cm or inches. For longer objects the scale continues around the edges, so you can rotate the phone and keep measuring. • Protractor — measure any angle by dragging, with preset angles. • Compass — a clear dial with a sun-path overlay (sunrise, sunset, current sun position) to plan which way to pitch your tarp. Auto-detects your hemisphere. • Level — a precise, real-time bubble level. • Camera overlay — show the camera behind the compass or protractor and adjust the transparency to measure against the real world. • Distance (LiDAR) — measure distance on supported devices. LIGHT & SIGNAL • Flashlight — with an auto-off timer. • SOS — a flashing SOS signal plus your own emergency contacts for one-tap dialing. PLAN & ORGANIZE • Checklist — build a reusable packing list and check items off before every trip. • Gear Guide — save your gear in your own categories with YouTube setup links (thumbnails included). • Food Guide — keep your camping recipes and food videos in one place. UTILITIES • Timer & Stopwatch — countdown with vibration/sound alerts and repeat options; stopwatch with lap notes and saved records. Camp Toolbox is free, supported by ads. Available in 9 languages.
