Measure and compare anything on a map with precision tools designed for speed and accuracy. MEASURE WITH CONFIDENCE Place points exactly where they belong using the precision crosshair. Draw lines to measure distances, circles for radius calculations, and custom polygons to calculate surface areas. Every measurement is accurate down to the details. PICK UP AND PLACE AREAS — ANYWHERE Turn measurements into movable objects. Press and hold any drawn area to lift it, then drag a copy to a new location. Drop it elsewhere on the same map — or onto a second map showing a completely different place in the world. Instantly see if a park fits inside a city block, compare property sizes across continents, or test how a landmark would scale somewhere else. No other map app lets you move measured areas this freely. SIDE-BY-SIDE COMPARISON Open two maps simultaneously and compare locations directly. Move shapes between maps, test ideas visually, and evaluate alternatives — all without switching views. SEAMLESS WORKFLOW Export your measurements as images or GeoJSON files to continue working in other apps and professional tools. Your data goes where you need it. SYNC ACROSS DEVICES Use SplitMap on iPhone and iPad with a single purchase. Your locations and measurements sync automatically, so you can start on one device and pick up on another. BUILT FOR EVERYONE • Supports metric and imperial units • Available in 11 languages • Adapts naturally to any screen size Whether you’re planning a project, researching property boundaries, comparing hiking trails, or simply exploring the world, SplitMap gives you the tools to measure — and reposition — what matters.

ThreadMapper shows what your Thread smart home says about itself. Most Thread devices are invisible. They just work, until they don't, and there's no way to tell which one dropped, which border routers you really have, or whether a quiet sensor is asleep or gone. WHAT YOU GET • Network health at a glance: an A–F grade with a clear score, and the specific issues pulling it down • Better than yesterday? A line under the grade saying whether today is up or down on yesterday, and which rule moved it • Every battery in one list, emptiest first, with the room • Your Thread devices, apart from the rest: the ones that say they are on Thread, and every other accessory labelled for what it is, behind a bridge or not yet known • Mesh map: your Thread devices by room, and the links they report • Offline alerts that respect quiet: a sleepy sensor gets two hours before it is called offline, and devices that go quiet together are one event • Device history: uptime, reboots and firmware changes • Apple Watch app: your grade on your wrist • Home-screen widget and Live Activity for at-a-glance status HONEST ABOUT ITS DATA ThreadMapper shows only what a device or the network states. A device is Thread when it says so. A border router is one the network proves. A line on the map is a link a device reported. iOS doesn't expose radio signal strength for Thread accessories, so there is no signal figure: a device's page shows how quickly it answered, in milliseconds. The battery level is what each accessory reports about itself. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No analytics. No tracking. Everything stays on your iPhone, and the AI features run on device. Your network data is never uploaded. THREADMAPPER PRO: a one-time purchase, not a subscription • AI Insights, Network Assistant and a troubleshooter that reads this device's history, on device with Apple Intelligence • What the radios say: why a device rebooted, how often it changed parent router, how often a battery device wakes, and how many apps and households can still control it • AR room mapping and X-Ray: scan rooms into a floor plan, place each device where it really is, and see the links your devices report drawn through your real home • Your year on one card, your mesh as a twenty-second film, and as an A2 poster a print shop will take • A year of daily grades on one calendar, no Apple Intelligence needed, a month of history, weekly reports, and when your home is at its worst • Export every health sample, daily grade and battery reading as CSV or JSON, and import them on a new iPhone • Jobs and evidence sheets: a page for a client showing what a visit changed, and a page per device for a warranty claim • Device groups, multiple homes, scheduled reports and a pinned-devices widget REQUIREMENTS ThreadMapper reads your network through HomeKit, so you'll need a home with at least one Thread border router, such as a HomePod mini or an Apple TV 4K. Border routers are found through Local Network access. AI features need iOS 26 and an Apple Intelligence-capable device. Room scanning needs a Pro-model iPhone with a LiDAR scanner.
