Know your green before you putt. Putt Break uses the LiDAR sensor on iPhone Pro to measure the slope of the putting green directly under your feet — in real time, with no setup required. What it does Stand over your ball. The app reads the slope percentage, which way it breaks, and whether you're putting uphill or downhill. Switch to Distance mode to measure the exact length of your putt from where you stand to the hole. Built for learning Putt Break is a measurement tool, not an aiming system. It tells you what the green is doing. You decide how to play it. That honesty is the point. Features Real-time slope reading with side break and uphill/downhill Distance mode: measure putt length from stance to hole Confidence indicator so you know when the reading is trustworthy Save readings as photos with a branded overlay Works in shade, overcast, and most outdoor conditions Requirements iPhone 12 Pro or newer (LiDAR required). iPhone 15 Pro / Pro Max recommended for best accuracy. For practice only Electronic slope measurement is prohibited during tournament play under Rule 4.3a. Putt Break is designed for practice rounds, learning sessions, and casual play.
