Features & Capabilities

Smart Metal Detector converts your Android smartphone into a portable magnetic field scanner and metal finder using the built-in magnetometer—no extra hardware required. The app shows real-time microTesla (µT) readings, visual graph spikes, and a needle-style meter so you can detect screws, nails, pipes, keys, and other magnetic materials quickly and intuitively.

Lightweight and battery-friendly, the app works fully offline with no login or special permissions. It’s compatible with most Android devices (Android 5.0+) that include a magnetometer and delivers an average detection range of 15–25 cm depending on your phone’s sensor. Ideal for DIY projects, home inspections, science experiments, and casual exploration, Smart Metal Detector offers a simple, modern UI and practical tips for more accurate scanning.
