Measure any angle,
right from your pocket.

Protractor is an iOS and Android app that measures angles, slopes, inclines, and level using the phone's built-in motion sensors and camera, replacing a physical protractor, spirit level, and inclinometer. It's free to try, ad-free, and works offline.

The protractor app for iPhone and Android. Measure angles, slopes, and level with your phone's motion sensors and camera — no physical protractor needed. Free to try, ad-free.

FEATURES

Every angle, slope and level — in one app.

Angle & slope

Rest your iPhone on any surface and the motion sensors read the exact tilt — angle, incline, or roof pitch — to a fraction of a degree.

Camera protractor

Point the camera and drag the on-screen arms to measure an angle in a photo. No surface contact needed.

Bubble level

A built-in spirit level shows true horizontal and vertical, so you can hang and align anything dead straight.

HOW IT WORKS

Rest your iPhone on any surface and Protractor reads the exact angle and slope in real time. No physical protractor needed.

A live degree readout updates as you tilt the phone — measure angles, inclines and roof pitch to a fraction of a degree.

Switch between degrees, percent slope and ratio, and zero the angle against any reference surface in one tap.

Use the camera protractor to measure an angle in a photo, or the bubble level to check true horizontal and vertical.

TESTIMONIAL
  • "I hang a lot of gallery walls, and getting every frame perfectly level used to be guesswork. Now I just rest my phone on the frame and read the angle. Everything lines up."

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is the Protractor app?

Protractor is an iOS and Android app that measures angles, slopes, inclines, and level using your phone's built-in motion sensors and camera, replacing a physical protractor, spirit level, and inclinometer. It's free to try, ad-free, and works offline.

How does an iPhone measure angles without a physical protractor?

The iPhone has a built-in accelerometer and gyroscope that sense gravity and orientation. Protractor reads those sensors to calculate the exact tilt of the phone — so resting it on a surface gives you that surface's angle in degrees. For angles you can't lay the phone on, the camera mode lets you measure the angle directly on a photo.

How accurate is the Protractor app?

For everyday DIY, woodworking, and home tasks, the sensor-based reading is accurate to within about a degree on most iPhones once the phone is held flat against the surface. Re-zeroing against a known reference before measuring improves accuracy further.

Can it measure slope, incline, and roof pitch too?

Yes. The same angle reading can be shown as degrees, percent slope, or a ratio, so the app doubles as an inclinometer for measuring ramps, driveways, and roof pitch.

Is there a bubble level in the app?

Yes. A built-in spirit (bubble) level shows true horizontal and vertical, so you can check whether shelves, frames, and appliances are straight without a separate level.

Is the Protractor app free?

Protractor is free to try and ad-free. Core measuring works offline with no account required.
