Beam, Joist & Metal Scanner
Find studs, joists, beams & hidden wires behind any wall, no extra hardware needed. Turn your iPhone into a fast, accurate stud finder & wall scanner. Try it free!
Turn your iPhone into a powerful stud finder and wall scanner — no extra hardware, no batteries, no guesswork. Whether you're hanging a TV, mounting shelves, framing a gallery wall, or starting a full renovation, Stud Finder Wood Wall Detector helps you locate exactly what's behind the surface in seconds.
Using your phone's built-in magnetometer, the app senses the metal screws and nails inside wooden studs and joists, then guides you to the precise center so you drill with confidence — not into empty drywall or, worse, a live wire.
WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT

• Clear visual + audio signal that peaks right over the stud center
• Simple, clean interface anyone can use — no manual required
• Works on drywall, plaster, and wood surfaces
• No calibration headaches — open the app and start scanning

PERFECT FOR
• Hanging TVs, mirrors, shelves, and heavy frames
• Mounting cabinets, curtain rods, and floating shelves
• Finding joists in ceilings and floors
• Locating beams before you drill or nail
• Installing wall anchors and brackets in the right spot
• DIY projects, home repairs, and professional job sites
HOW IT WORKS
- Open the app and hold your phone flat against the wall
- Slowly slide it horizontally across the surface
- Watch the signal rise as you approach metal inside a stud
- Mark the spot where the reading peaks — that's your stud center
- Repeat a few inches over to map out the full stud spacing
TIPS FOR BEST RESULTS
• Move slowly and steadily for the most accurate reading
• Scan the same area twice to confirm the stud edge and center
• Keep magnets, cases, and other metal objects away from your phone
• Remember most studs sit 16 or 24 inches apart — use that to double-check
• Detection depth depends on your device's sensor and wall material
BUILT FOR REAL PROJECTS
From weekend DIYers to contractors, this stud detector puts a reliable wall scanning tool right in your pocket. Skip the trip to the hardware store and stop tapping the wall hoping for a hollow sound. Get the location right the first time and protect your walls, your wires, and your project. A single misplaced hole can mean patching, repainting, or hitting hidden wiring — this app helps you avoid all of it before the drill ever touches the wall.
WHY A PHONE STUD FINDER?
Traditional stud finders need calibration, fresh batteries, and a steady hand — and they still get confused by textured walls. Your iPhone already carries a precise magnetic sensor, so the moment you need to hang something you're ready to go. It's the stud detector that's always with you, whether you're at home, helping a friend, or on the job.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: Does it really work without extra hardware?
A: Yes. The app uses your iPhone's built-in magnetometer to sense the metal fasteners inside studs — no attachments required.
Q: Can it find studs through thick walls?
A: It detects the metal screws and nails in the stud. Very thick or dense surfaces reduce the signal, so results depend on your wall and device.
Q: Will it detect pipes or wires too?
A: It responds to metal behind the wall, which can include pipes, nails, and some conduit. Always scan carefully before you drill.
Q: Do I need an internet connection?
A: No. Scanning works completely offline, anywhere.
