Point your camera at whatever is broken. Ask out loud. Get the exact next step. EyeGuide looks through your camera and coaches you through the job — one clear step at a time, spoken aloud and marked directly on the part you need to touch. POINT AND ASK Hold the mic and ask in your own words: "What is this valve?", "Which screw do I undo first?", "Why is it leaking here?" EyeGuide sees what your camera sees, answers in plain language, and draws a marker right on the part it means. No searching through forums. No pausing a video every ten seconds. LIVE MODE, HANDS-FREE For the bigger jobs, switch to Live. EyeGuide streams your camera and your voice continuously and talks back in real time — like a friend on a video call looking over your shoulder while both your hands stay on the job. WHAT PEOPLE FIX WITH IT • Appliances — washing machine, dishwasher, dryer, oven, error codes • Plumbing — dripping taps, blocked traps, leaking seals • Bikes and cars — brakes, gears, warning lights, fluids • Electronics — cables, ports, connectors, soldering • Around the house — flat-pack furniture, mounting, small repairs • In the kitchen — technique, doneness, "is this still good?" KNOWS WHEN TO STOP EyeGuide flags genuinely dangerous work — mains electricity, gas, brakes, airbags — and tells you plainly when the job needs a qualified professional. It is a helpful coach, not a replacement for one. WHY IT BEATS A SEARCH A video shows you someone else's machine. A forum thread describes a problem that isn't quite yours. EyeGuide looks at your actual appliance, your actual wiring, your actual mess — and answers about that. Subscription required. Auto-renews unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel any time in your App Store settings.

About

PipeGrade

Read full description

Turn your iPhone into a practical pipe-slope gauge for plumbing, drainage, sewer, and DWV work. PipeGrade helps plumbers, contractors, installers, and DIY users plan runs, measure grade, and keep organized field records. Measure live slope with the motion sensors, calibrate flat and side-edge placements separately, check direction and stability, lock readings, and save them to a pipe run. Calculate slope, fall, horizontal run, or end elevation, then generate station and invert-elevation schedules. Organize projects with notes and field photos, and export field-ready PDF or CSV reports. Supports metric and imperial units, including percent, degrees, in/ft, mm/m, and 1:X. Project data stays on your device unless you choose to export or share it. No account, ads, or subscription. An optional one-time Lifetime Pro purchase unlocks the complete workflow. PipeGrade is a field calculation and documentation aid, not an approval, certification, or substitute for local codes. Verify final work using calibrated equipment and the methods required by your authority and project documents.
