LiDAR Rangefinder turns your iPhone into a fast, simple range measurement tool. Aim at a point and get an instant distance reading from your phone to the surface in front of you. Built for clarity and speed, LiDAR Rangefinder gives you a clean, focused interface that makes measuring feel effortless. Whether you are estimating distances indoors, checking spacing on location, or simply curious how far away something is, LiDAR Rangefinder makes it easy to get a quick answer. Features: • Instant distance readout to the point you are aiming at • Designed for LiDAR-equipped iPhone models • Zoom the view on screen for easier aiming and improved precision • Tap the distance to cycle between metres, feet and yards • Touch-and-hold the distance to copy value to clipboard • Clean, minimal interface for fast everyday use Note: LiDAR Rangefinder works best on compatible iPhone models with a LiDAR scanner. Accuracy depends on lighting, surface type, distance, and environmental conditions. Reflective, transparent, very dark, or very distant surfaces may reduce reliability. LiDAR Rangefinder is designed for close to medium distances, from 0.1m up to a maximum of between 5m and 10m depending on iPhone model and conditions. If LiDAR lock cannot be achieved then ARKit raycast is used as a fallback measuring method and "AR Only" instead of "LiDAR" is displayed in the status bar. If you want a lightweight, modern distance tool that is ready whenever your phone is in your pocket, LiDAR Rangefinder is the simplest way to measure.

TankCal helps you build and check tank calibration data for sender-based measurement systems. Enter your tank's maximum centimeter and litre values, choose an Ohm step interval, and fill a clear calibration table with measured centimeter and litre points. TankCal calculates percentages automatically and plots the data as live scatter charts, making it easier to spot irregular entries before you save or share a calibration file. The app supports multiple tank profiles, adjustable step counts, quick Ohm-column filling, calibration notes, and JSON import/export for moving calibration data between devices or keeping project records. TankCal is built for technicians, boat owners, builders, and anyone who needs a straightforward way to organize custom tank readings.
