Stud Finder
Turn your iPhone into a precise stud detector. Hang it right the first time.
About
Stud Finder uses your iPhone's built-in magnetometer, the same sensor that powers the compass, to detect the metal fasteners that hold drywall to the studs behind it. Slide your phone across the wall and watch the strength meter spike the moment you cross a stud.
Modern construction places metal fasteners every 16 to 24 inches to attach drywall to wood or metal studs. That signature is small but consistent, and Stud Finder amplifies it into a clear visual and tactile cue you can trust, with no guesswork and no wasted anchors.
