FieldScale – Blueprint Measurement & Markup Tool

Built by a trade professional, for trade professionals. Stop balancing your laptop on one arm, stop spending thousands on overly-expensive software, simply reach into your pocket. FieldScale is purpose-built for the job site, not the office. Load any PDF blueprint or floor plan and calibrate to scale, measure, mark up, sign off, all without breaking stride.
Wherever you are, FieldScale is ready.

NEW — FieldScale Cloud (Beta): for teams working on the same plans.
Cloud is completely optional and off by default. Stay 100% local — no account, nothing leaves your device, exactly as the app has always worked — or turn on cloud to back up your plans, sync them across your phone and tablet, and share and mark up plans with your crew in real time. It's your call: plans only leave your device when you choose to back up or share them, unshared plans stay local, and you can switch cloud off anytime.

Measure:
Imperial-first with feet, inches, and fractional precision — or switch to metric
Manual calibration or AI-assisted auto calibration that reads scale notation automatically
Snap-to-line geometry for accurate point placement on CAD/Vectorworks exported PDFs
Chain measurement mode for irregular paths and room perimeters
Polygon close for instant area calculations
Angle finder — place a three-point angle anywhere on the drawing
Built-in imperial calculator for rapid calculations
Export measurements to PDF, PNG, or CSV files

Markup:
Draw rectangles, clouds, arrows, highlights, and freehand markup directly on the plan
Drop rectangles and circles at an exact size, and save the ones you use as preset shapes
Add text notes, date stamps, and approval stamps
Sign and place your saved signature — store multiple signatures for reuse across any plan
Place and label counters to tally quantities of any symbol on the drawing
Move and resize any markup with a long-press; undo and redo any step
All markups persist between sessions and export with the plan

Cloud & sharing (optional, Beta):
Off by default — the app is fully usable with no account, entirely on-device
Back up your plans and restore them on a new device
Sync the same plan, with your markups, across your phone and tablet
Share plans with your crew and edit together in real time
Your plans leave your device only when you back up or share them
Turn cloud on or off anytime in Settings

Built for the field:

Works fully offline — no account required (cloud is optional)
Photo Mode (Beta) — photograph a physical drawing and use it just like any of your other PDFs
Organize plans in folders; merge multi-page sets

Designed by a tradesman, built around how the blue-collars actually work — on their feet, often with one hand, reading and marking up plans on the go.

FieldScale is currently in early release and very much still a work in progress. Everything is built by one carpenter in my (limited) spare time. Any and all feedback is very welcome — use the [Send Feedback] option in Settings. Thank you.
