Plumb Bob

How to use

A digital plumb bob that shows true vertical using your device's sensors overlaid on the camera feed. Use it to check if walls, posts, or edges are perfectly vertical.

  1. 1

    Point the rear camera

    Hold your phone upright and point the rear camera at the wall, post, or edge you want to check.

  2. 2

    Check the plumb line

    The green vertical line represents true vertical (gravity). If it aligns with the edge in view, that edge is plumb.

  3. 3

    Read the angle

    The degree readout shows the tilt. 0.0° = perfectly plumb. Red = off, green = plumb.

  4. 4

    Calibrate

    Tap "Calibrate" to zero out the current position.

Tips

  • Works best with the rear camera pointed at a vertical edge.
  • Stand a few feet back from the surface for a clearer view.
  • The plumb line shifts left/right as you tilt the phone.

Requirements

  • Device with gyroscope and camera
  • Browser permissions for camera and motion sensors
