CLUSTER OBJECTS-CAMERA-MEASURES · 6 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2018-07-27

Mobile camera measurement apps

This cluster consists of mobile apps that use the camera and onboard sensors to measure angles, lengths, distances, object sizes, and even generate floor plans. The dated entries appear sporadically from December 2016 through December 2023, with only a single entry in each of the six months, showing no clear shape or density trend. Traction leaders are Bubble, Tape Measure™, and Measure, each with zero stars, indicating negligible user engagement across the cluster.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 6 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.

Ranked by traction, highest first, and paged 20 at a time — this is a window on the cluster, never the whole of it. Ties are broken by a stable id so a product cannot appear on two pages or fall between them. Browse every cluster.
