ViewSide Link connects two smartphones so you can view the camera feed from one device on the other in real time. Easily check workout posture, back and shoulder movement, hard-to-see areas such as under a vehicle or furniture, and small text that is difficult to view on your own. One device works as the camera, while the other works as the viewer. You can connect the two devices quickly by scanning a QR code, with no account or login required. Key Features • Real-time connection between two smartphones View the camera feed from one device on another device in real time. • Easy QR code connection Connect two devices using only a QR code, without registration or login. • Workout posture check Monitor hard-to-see areas such as your back, shoulders, and lower body in real time. • Photo capture and video recording Capture photos or record videos from the viewer device whenever needed. • View hard-to-see spaces Check areas such as under furniture, inside a vehicle, high places, or narrow spaces that are difficult to see directly. • Magnifier Enlarge small text and fine details for easier viewing. • Multiple video quality options Choose the video quality that best matches your network conditions and device performance. For a stable connection, we recommend connecting both devices to the same Wi-Fi network.

Before you drill, know what's behind the wall. Stud Finder uses your phone's built-in magnetometer to detect metal hidden in your walls — the nails and screws that mark a stud's edge, and the pipes, rebar and conduit you want to avoid hitting. Calibrate against a clean section of wall, then sweep slowly. The live gauge rises as you approach a target and calls a hit when the signal is strong enough. TWO SCAN MODES Stud Mode — Tuned for the faint, brief signals produced by the nails and screws fastening a stud to the wall. Trace the fastener line to locate the stud edge. Metal Mode — Tuned for the strong, sustained fields of pipes, rebar, conduit and steel studs. The threshold sits high enough that a nail line won't trigger it, so you can tell a fastener from a pipe. Both modes are free. No paywall on the core detector. FEATURES • One-tap calibration against your actual wall, so readings adapt to the room • Live signal gauge with real-time strength readout in microtesla • Haptic feedback the moment a hit is detected • Save scans with a label like "Living room wall" and revisit them anytime • Keep-screen-awake option so the display won't sleep mid-sweep • Optional reminder if you haven't scanned in a while • Light and dark themes STUD FINDER PRO • Deep Scan — boosted sensitivity that surfaces faint fastener lines a standard scan can miss • Unlimited saved scans (the free version keeps your 5 most recent) HOW IT WORKS — AND WHAT IT CAN'T DO We think you should know exactly what you're buying. Your phone's magnetometer senses magnetic fields. That means it detects ferrous metal — steel nails, screws, pipes, rebar and conduit. Wood is not magnetic, so no phone can detect wood directly. Stud Finder locates studs the same way a magnetic stud finder does: by finding the metal fasteners holding them in place. This is why we describe what we find by signal strength rather than claiming to identify materials. If a reading in Stud Mode is unusually strong, the app tells you it's likely metal rather than a stud. Results depend on your device's magnetometer, wall material and depth. Detection is less reliable through thick plaster, tile, concrete or metal lath. Always verify before drilling, and never rely on any app alone when electrical wiring or plumbing may be present. PRIVACY Stud Finder is designed with your privacy in mind and does not share personal data unnecessarily. Your scans are stored on your device.
