PRO

Scientific Magnetometer

3D field vector visualization, separate X/Y/Z axis readings, total field vs. anomaly comparison, and unlimited recording with CSV data export at up to ~100 Hz with GPS logging.

Stop Guessing, Start Measuring

Without Magnetometer X

  • Guessing stud locations behind the wall before drilling
  • Risk of hitting metallic objects in walls
  • Buying expensive single-purpose stud finders
  • No way to record or export field data

With Magnetometer X

  • Precisely locate studs and metal with real-time magnetic field scanning
  • Detect hidden pipes, rebar and other magnetic anomalies before you drill
  • Replace multiple tools with one app already on your iPhone
  • Record, export, and analyze magnetic field data as CSV

What You Can Do With a Magnetometer App

From home improvement to scientific research, Magnetometer X fits right in.

Find Wall Studs

Locate studs and brackets behind drywall before you drill.

Detect Steel Objects

Find steel pipes, rebar, or hidden metal in walls, floors, and ceilings.

Identify Magnetized Tools

Check if your tools or equipment have become magnetized.

Education & Teaching

Demonstrate magnetic fields, polarity, and electromagnetic concepts in the classroom.

EMF Investigation

Use as an EMF detector for paranormal investigation and environmental surveys.

Science Projects

Record and export magnetic field data for physics experiments and research.

Magnetometer Features That Make a Difference

Zero Calibration

Set a baseline anywhere to detect relative changes in the magnetic field with precision.

Multiple Units

Display readings in microtesla (µT), milligauss (mG), or gauss (G) to match your workflow.

Audio & Haptic Feedback

Three sound styles plus tactile vibrations let you detect without looking at the screen. Haptic feedback is available on iPhone only.

Dark & Light Themes

Choose your preferred appearance for comfortable use in any lighting condition.

No Subscriptions. Ever.

Gauge Mode is completely free. Unlock Wall Scanner and Scientific modes with a single one-time purchase — no subscriptions, no recurring fees, just full access forever.
