Turn your phone into a smart Metal Detector, Stud Finder, and Wall Scanner. This app uses your device's built-in magnetic sensor to detect magnetic field changes and help you locate metal objects, wall studs, pipes, conduits, and possible electrical wiring around you.
Metal Detector is designed for DIY projects, home improvement, workshops, inspections, and everyday use. Whether you are hanging a TV, mounting shelves, checking a wall before drilling, or scanning an area for hidden metal, this app gives you fast real-time feedback in a simple, practical interface.
Why users choose Metal Detector:
• Metal Detector mode
Scan for nearby metal objects and monitor signal strength in real time. Move your phone slowly across walls, floors, or surfaces to spot changes in the magnetic field.
• Stud Finder mode
Use a dedicated stud finder tool optimized for wall scanning. It helps you identify likely stud locations before drilling, mounting, or installing fixtures.
• AR Scanner
On supported devices, place AR markers on detected areas and review scan points more easily. This helps you visualize where signals were found while scanning larger surfaces.
• Multiple scan presets
Choose the right preset for the job:
- General Metal
- Wall Studs
- Metal Studs
- Pipes & Conduits
- Electrical Wiring
• Real-time signal meter and graph
Track magnetic signal changes live with clear visual feedback. Compare weak and strong areas more easily and scan with better control.
• Estimated target type
The app can estimate likely signal sources such as ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, electrical wiring, wood stud, or unknown material.
• Calibration support
Quick calibration helps improve consistency before each scan session and reduces the impact of environmental interference.
• Sound and vibration feedback
Get instant audio and haptic alerts when stronger signals are detected, so you can scan without constantly watching the screen.
• Adjustable sensitivity
Fine-tune sensitivity for different wall materials, surfaces, environments, and scanning conditions.
Best for:
• Metal detection
• Stud finding
• Wall scanning
• Pipe and conduit checking
• Home improvement
• DIY repair projects
• Workshop use
• Basic magnetic field exploration
Tips for better results:
• Move the phone slowly for more stable readings
• Calibrate before scanning
• Keep the back or top of the device close to the surface
• Compare nearby areas to identify signal peaks
• Use the preset that best matches your target
Important:
This app works with your phone's magnetometer and related sensor processing. Accuracy depends on your device hardware, nearby interference, object size, object depth, and material type. Results may vary by phone and environment. This app is intended as a helpful detection tool and should not replace professional inspection equipment for critical safety work.
If you need a reliable Metal Detector, Stud Finder, and Wall Scanner in one app, this tool gives you a convenient way to scan, detect, and mark hidden objects directly from your Android device.
