Arc & Arch Layout Calculator is the precision toolkit every carpenter, joiner, mason, stonemason, builder and DIY enthusiast needs to lay out perfect arches and curves on any job — without complex trigonometry and without ever pulling string from a nail. TWO PROFESSIONAL CALCULATORS IN ONE APP Large Arc Layout Set out a large-radius arc inside any confined space — an opening, a wall, a panel or a curved trim run. Enter the chord width plus either the rise (height) or radius and instantly see: • Sweep angle, arc length, slice and full-circle area • Inside arc mark-out — heights every increment from chord centre out • Outside arc mark-out with optional outer offset • An interactive set-out diagram you can pinch to zoom and drag to pan • A printable template with automatic A4, Letter, A3, A2 and A1 page-fit guidance • A bonus calculator that derives width, height, length and area from radius and sweep angle Gothic Arch Layout Design true masonry arches with mathematical precision. Choose equilateral, lancet or drop arches — the app classifies them automatically — and instantly receive every dimension you need: • Inner and outer radius, inner and outer height • Triangle chord and triangle drop for the gothic set-out • Intrados and extrados arc lengths • Setout mark-out heights from centre out • Voussoirs: full unit count per side, inner and outer arc per voussoir, plus a dedicated keystone diagram • Optional full-scale keystone and voussoir templates ready to print EVERY MEASUREMENT, METRIC OR IMPERIAL Every input switches instantly between Metric (mm) and Imperial (feet, inches and 1/16 to 15/16 fractions). Imperial inputs use clean three-wheel pickers — feet, inches, fraction — so a 6 ft 3 1/2 in chord takes seconds. INTERACTIVE DIAGRAMS YOU CAN ACTUALLY READ Every calculation is paired with a crisp, vector-quality diagram. Pinch to zoom, drag to pan, double-tap to fit, and use the live measure tool to read distances off the drawing. EXPORT TO PDF FOR THE WORKSHOP One tap exports a complete multi-page PDF: a tidy summary page with all your inputs and results, followed by every diagram on its own page — perfect for printing the template at full scale or sharing with the team. NATIVE iOS DESIGN • Built with SwiftUI for iPhone and iPad • Works completely offline • Saves your last inputs automatically • No accounts, no subscriptions, no ads • Respects Dynamic Type and Dark Mode Stop guessing. Calculate, lay out, print and build — accurately, every time.

Dimemo lets you write measured dimensions directly on a photo and keep them there. Jotting numbers alone in a notepad often leaves you wondering which measurement was which. Photos and numbers get separated — that’s the problem. Dimemo keeps both on one sheet from the start. ■ Snap, draw, and enter Photograph furniture, a window, or a wall on the spot (or pick from your library) and you’re in the annotation screen. Trace on the photo to draw a dimension line with arrows at both ends, then enter the value you actually measured and its unit. Choose from mm / cm / m / in / ft — your last-used unit is preselected. ■ Auto numbering keeps photo and list in sync Each dimension line gets a sequential number: ①, ②, …. Delete a line in the middle and numbers renumber automatically, so labels on the photo never drift from rows in the list. ■ Share photo + dimension list as one page Export the photo and the numbered dimension list as a single image or PDF. Send it to family, share it on site, or print it to take along — recipients can see which dimension is which without extra explanation. ■ Organize with folders Create folders such as “Moving,” “Kitchen DIY,” or “Site survey” to sort photos. Thumbnails show a badge with how many dimensions are on each shot, so the right one is easy to find. ■ Edit later Drag endpoints to fine-tune, move whole lines, edit values, delete, and undo. Pinch to zoom for fine detail. Besides dimensions, you can add text notes on the photo. ■ No automatic measuring Dimemo does not use AR auto-measure or scale conversion that infers other lengths from one dimension. Only values you actually measured with a tape (or similar) are recorded — so the source of every number stays clear. ■ Stays on your device Photos and dimensions are stored on-device and leave it only when you choose to export and share them. No account or sign-in is required. Beyond that, the network is used to show ads and to send anonymous usage and crash data for quality improvement. No personally identifying information is collected. Available in Japanese, English, Chinese (Simplified / Traditional), Korean, Spanish, Portuguese (Brazil), German, and French.
