WalkMeasure

Measure the job in one walk.

  • No tape
  • No helper
  • No waiting for a surveyor

For landscapers, builders and estate agents who need the size of a plot, a lawn or a room today. Set your iPhone down at each corner and get the area, the sides and the slopes in minutes, each with its margin of error.

Who it's for

Made for people who quote by the square metre

If a wrong area costs you money, WalkMeasure pays for itself the first time you use it.

  • Lawns, beds, paving and fences: quote from the real area and order the right amount of turf, gravel or stone.

  • Floor plans of existing rooms, with doors and windows, ready for a quote or a drawing. No laser, no notebook.

  • The size of a plot and a plan for the listing or the family, before anyone pays for a survey.

  • Fields, enclosures and how the ground slopes, walked in minutes with the phone on a stick.

The problem

The wrong number is the expensive part.

  1. Over-order, and the difference comes out of your margin

    Turf, gravel, paving and fencing are bought by the square metre and the metre run. A guess is a cost.

  2. Under-quote, and you work for free

    A plot that turns out bigger than you guessed is more work at the same price.

  3. Re-measure, and you lose half a day

    A tape and a wheel need two people and a clear line. A surveyor costs hundreds and takes weeks.

WalkMeasure gives you the number on the spot, and tells you how far to trust it.

How it works

Set the phone down. Feel the buzz. Move on.

The phone in a selfie stick's clamp, with the Selfie stick setting turned on
The phone lying flat on the ground at the first corner, held still for a second
The phone buzzes and the vibration is felt in the selfie stick's handle
The phone is carried at least a metre to the next point
The outline closed at the starting point, with the area worked out

1Clip the phone onto a selfie stickTurn on "Selfie stick" in the app. No more bending down at every point.

2Set it down and hold it stillFlat on the ground at the first corner, for about a second. The point records itself.

3Feel the buzz in the handleThe phone gives a strong buzz and a beep: your signal to move on.

4Carry it onEvery metre or more, and at every corner, set it down again.

5Finish where you startedThe outline closes and the app shows the area, the sides and the measured error.

Trust

See the error before you trust the number

Other apps give you a figure. WalkMeasure gives you the figure and how far it may be off.

  1. 01

    Finish where you started

    Lay the phone back on the first corner and the app shows how far the walk drifted, as a percentage of the distance walked.

  2. 02

    A margin on every number

    Area, sides and heights come with a ± worked out from your phone's sensors and from how long each carry took.

  3. 03

    Check it against a tape

    Calibrate once, measure a taped line and see what your phone achieves. Your first project is free: test it on your own land.

Results are estimates from the phone's motion sensors. For critical dimensions, check with a tape; for legal documents, use a licensed surveyor.

Features

Everything you need, from one walk

Area and sides for the quote, slopes for the drainage, a floor plan for the drawing: one app, one phone.

  1. Area, perimeter, sides

    Every number comes with its margin of error.

  2. Heights and slopes

    A slope map, contour lines and a 3D model.

  3. Floor plans

    Rooms, doors and windows, with the phone against each wall.

  4. Checks its own error

    Finish where you started and see how accurate the walk was.

  5. Works with a selfie stick

    A buzz in the handle tells you when to move on.

  6. PDF, CSV, DXF

    Send the result to a client or into AutoCAD, straight from the phone.

Floor plans

A floor plan, by touching the walls with your phone

Hold the phone against each wall. Corners come from where the walls meet, even when they're hidden behind furniture.

  • Several rooms, with the wall between them measured
  • Doors, windows and openings from a simple editor
  • PDF to scale, an image, or DXF for AutoCAD
A floor plan exported as PDF, with two rooms, doors, windows and dimensions

FAQ

Good to know

Another question? Write to us at contact.kodgo@gmail.com.

Does it use the camera, GPS or internet?

No. Only the iPhone's accelerometer and gyroscope. Measuring works offline, indoors, under trees and anywhere GPS is weak. You only need the internet to buy Pro.

How accurate is it?

It depends on calibration and on how often you set the phone down. Every result comes with its margin of error, and returning to the start checks it. For critical dimensions, check with a tape measure.

Can I use the result for the land registry or a sale?

No. Official documents need a licensed surveyor. WalkMeasure quickly tells you what to expect, so you decide what is worth a surveyor's visit.

Do I need to calibrate the phone?

Once, at the start: rest it on a table on each of its six sides, about a minute in all. The app guides you.

Where does my data go?

It stays on your phone. No account, no ads, no analytics. You share projects yourself, as PDF, CSV or DXF, only when you want to.

Which phone do I need?

An iPhone running iOS 17 or later.

How much does it cost?

The app is free for one project. WalkMeasure Pro is $3.99 a month, cancelled any time, or $49.99 once for good. Both through the App Store. See pricing.

Can I pay once instead of subscribing?

Yes. Pro Lifetime is a one-time purchase of $49.99: every Pro feature, for good, including future updates. It belongs to your Apple ID, so Restore Purchases brings it back on a new iPhone.
