Stud Finder vs Beam

Find the Right Spot Before You Drill Stud Finder: Wall Detector Pro uses your iPhone's built-in magnetometer (magnetic sensor) to locate the screws and nails that hold drywall to the studs behind it. Find a line of fasteners and you have found the stud. HOW IT WORKS Your iPhone's magnetic sensor reacts to iron and steel. Slide the phone slowly across the wall: when it passes over a drywall screw, nail or other steel object, the reading jumps and the app alerts you. The app does not see wood, plastic or copper wiring directly — it finds the metal fasteners in the studs. WHAT'S INCLUDED Magnetic Metal Detection Live magnetic field strength in microtesla (μT) with a gauge that rises as you get closer to a screw or nail. (Premium subscription required) Sound & Haptic Alerts Hear a beep and feel a vibration the moment metal is detected, so you can keep your eyes on the wall. (Premium subscription required) Adjustable Sensitivity Tune the detection threshold to cut false alerts or to pick up fasteners that sit deeper in the wall. (Premium subscription required) Bubble Level — Free A spirit level for shelves, frames and trim that works in portrait, landscape and flat on a surface. No subscription needed. TIPS FOR BEST RESULTS - Remove magnetic cases and MagSafe accessories, and keep away from speakers and large metal objects. - Move slowly and keep the phone flat against the wall. - Mark each hit, then look for a vertical line of fasteners — that is your stud. - Studs are usually 16 in (40 cm) apart. Always double-check before drilling, especially near outlets and switches.

Your iPhone has a magnetometer. Beam turns it into an honest stud finder: hold the phone flat on the wall, sweep slowly, and watch the gauge climb as you approach the screws that hold your drywall to the studs. When you're right over one, Beam flips green — mark it and hang with confidence. HONEST BY DESIGN Beam finds metal fasteners and infers stud lines. It will never pretend to see wood, wires, pipes or depth — no phone can. The gauge shows one real number, the magnetic field above your room's baseline, and the built-in guide teaches you to read it like a pro. FIND ONE. KNOW THEM ALL. The Stud-Line Assistant is the feature hardware finders don't have: confirm one stud with two marks, and Beam projects the standard 16-inch or 24-inch framing rhythm across your wall map. Sweep the projected lines to confirm, then drill once, right. FEEL THE SIGNAL Haptic ticks quicken as you close in — like a Geiger counter in your hand — and land with a solid thump on the hit. Adjustable sensitivity, a peak-hold Precision mode, and a bubble level for mounting. BUILT FOR THE JOB Blueprint looks, gaffer-tape labels, measurements in real units. Save your walls per room and your marks are waiting next time. Everything runs on your device — no account, no tracking, no ads. ONE-TIME $6.99. NO WEEKLY SUBSCRIPTION. The scanner is free forever. One small purchase unlocks the Stud-Line Assistant, saved walls, Precision mode and the level — less than half a hardware stud finder, yours for life. Beam is a magnetic fastener locator, not a substitute for professional detection tools. Never use any phone app to rule out electrical wiring or pipes.
