Safe Area Insets Device Specs
Read full descriptionHide full description
Looking up the safe-area insets for an iPhone or iPad should not take three browser tabs and a forum thread. Safe Area gives you the exact top, bottom, leading, and trailing values for every model — drawn on a device blueprint, labelled in points, and ready to copy. Most spec sheets are a wall of numbers. This one shows you where those numbers land. Every device gets a scaled blueprint with the status bar, notch, or Dynamic Island marked and the safe region highlighted, so you can see the constraint instead of memorising it. A Live tab reads the real insets off the iPhone you are holding right now, and Compare puts any two devices next to each other with the difference calculated for you. Everything works offline, because a reference tool that needs a signal is not a reference tool. WHAT YOU GET - Exact safe-area insets — top, bottom, leading, and trailing in points for 18 iPhone and iPad profiles - A blueprint for every model showing the safe region, the inset zones, and the status bar, notch, or Dynamic Island - Screen numbers you can trust — points, pixels, usable area, scale, aspect ratio, pixel density, and corner radius - Portrait and landscape values for the same model, without doing the maths yourself - A live readout of the current device's own insets, screen points, pixels, and scale - Tap any value to copy it to the clipboard, then paste straight into your layout PERFECT FOR - iOS developers writing SwiftUI or UIKit layouts that must not clip on any device - Designers building Figma or Sketch frames that respect real hardware bounds - Web and cross-platform teams sizing viewports around the notch and home indicator - Anyone learning why their content keeps hiding behind the Dynamic Island WHY NOT JUST SEARCH FOR IT? Because half the numbers online are from a device generation ago, and the other half are unsourced screenshots. Values here are organised per model with the top feature, release year, and diagonal shown, plus a Learn section that explains what an inset actually is and which SwiftUI modifiers honour it — .safeAreaInset, .ignoresSafeArea, and reading safeAreaInsets from GeometryReader. Bookmark the three devices you actually ship for and stop re-searching them. PRIVACY Everything runs on the device. No account, no sign-up, no ads, no analytics, no tracking, nothing leaving your phone. The entire device library is bundled inside the app, so it works in airplane mode. FULL ACCESS Premium unlocks the complete 18-device library, the side-by-side Compare tool, and every detail value. It is offered as a weekly subscription, a yearly subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase — pick whichever fits how you work. Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled in your Apple ID settings; the lifetime option is a single payment with no renewal. Open the Live tab, see your own device measured in seconds, and never guess an inset again.

Pocket Easel is a color-study app for painting from life, wherever you are. It works like a painter's palette: a gamut mask decides which colors are on your palette, and a simple gesture lets you mix as you paint — a little warmer, a little cooler, lighter, darker — without ever leaving the picture. The mask is what's on your palette. The gesture is how you mix. Pick Color Without Leaving the Painting Most apps make you stop, open a color panel and drag sliders to an exact value, then find your place again. In Pocket Easel you push the current color from the corner of the canvas, relative to where it is, the way you'd work a touch more paint into a mix. No numbers to hit, so adjusting often costs nothing. Gamut Masks Before you start, choose a mask shape on the color wheel — a preset, or your own triangle or quad. It limits your palette to colors that belong together, so the whole study stays in harmony. Mixing never steps outside it. Painterly Brushes Round and flat brushes, lines and shapes, all with a subtle painterly texture that varies the color as real paint does. Smudge blends the paint already on the canvas. See Your Values Value Check shows your study in grayscale. While you adjust brightness, a ten-step value scale appears beside the wheel. Master's Palette Import a painting you admire and see where its colors sit on the wheel — then fit a mask to its gamut. Color Studies Every study is saved as you go. Name them, duplicate one to try an idea, and pick up any of them later. Share Your Process Export your study with a frame that shows the gamut wheel and the colors you used, or a time-lapse that shows each stroke and where its color came from on the wheel. Made for Phone and iPad Turn your phone sideways to paint with both hands. Left-Handed mode, Dark mode, and the same tools on iPad. Pocket Easel is built for quick color studies, not detailed illustration — the constraint is the point. All painting tools and image export are free. Pocket Easel Pro, a one-time purchase, lets you turn off the frame, remove the watermark or use your own name, and export time-lapse videos.
