Beam vs Stud Finder App

Your iPhone has a magnetometer. Beam turns it into an honest stud finder: hold the phone flat on the wall, sweep slowly, and watch the gauge climb as you approach the screws that hold your drywall to the studs. When you're right over one, Beam flips green — mark it and hang with confidence. HONEST BY DESIGN Beam finds metal fasteners and infers stud lines. It will never pretend to see wood, wires, pipes or depth — no phone can. The gauge shows one real number, the magnetic field above your room's baseline, and the built-in guide teaches you to read it like a pro. FIND ONE. KNOW THEM ALL. The Stud-Line Assistant is the feature hardware finders don't have: confirm one stud with two marks, and Beam projects the standard 16-inch or 24-inch framing rhythm across your wall map. Sweep the projected lines to confirm, then drill once, right. FEEL THE SIGNAL Haptic ticks quicken as you close in — like a Geiger counter in your hand — and land with a solid thump on the hit. Adjustable sensitivity, a peak-hold Precision mode, and a bubble level for mounting. BUILT FOR THE JOB Blueprint looks, gaffer-tape labels, measurements in real units. Save your walls per room and your marks are waiting next time. Everything runs on your device — no account, no tracking, no ads. ONE-TIME $6.99. NO WEEKLY SUBSCRIPTION. The scanner is free forever. One small purchase unlocks the Stud-Line Assistant, saved walls, Precision mode and the level — less than half a hardware stud finder, yours for life. Beam is a magnetic fastener locator, not a substitute for professional detection tools. Never use any phone app to rule out electrical wiring or pipes.

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.
