Description

RULER OVERLAY - A PIXEL-PERFECT ON-SCREEN MEASUREMENT FOR MACOS Measure anything on your screen with precision. Ruler Overlay is a lightweight macOS utility designed for designers, developers, and creators who need accurate on-screen measurements and alignment tools. Place a ruler directly on top of any app to instantly measure spacing, layout proportions, and pixel distances through smooth controls and a clean, macOS-native interface. KEY FEATURES Multiple Measurement Modes - Linear Mode: Standard absolute measurements. - Adjustable Zero-Point: Shift the start of your measurement without resizing the ruler. - EKE Mode: Set-square style for complex orthogonal alignment. - Grid Mode: Adaptive spacing for layout rhythm and proportional alignment. Two-Point Distance Measurement - Place two points anywhere on the overlay to measure straight-line distances in pixels, units, or inches. - Use keyboard shortcuts for precision: arrow keys nudge points, with modifiers for larger or finer steps. Measurement Shortcuts & Hint Overlay - Built-in hint overlay helps you master controls quickly. - Start, cancel, or adjust measurements and navigate tools entirely via keyboard. Smooth 360° Rotation - Rotate the ruler freely with smooth gestures. - Includes magnetic snapping at common angles for rapid, precise alignment. Compact Mode - A slimmer ruler profile with clearer tick marks. - Features a minimal floating toolbar to reduce visual distraction. Precision Calibration - Calibrate using a known distance to match your display’s specific DPI. - Enables accurate real-world measurements (e.g., inches). DESIGNED FOR PRECISION - Always-on-top overlay compatible with any application. - Adjustable opacity with quick keyboard controls. - Adaptive grid aligned to the zero point for consistent spacing. - Vertical guide support in EKE mode for better orthogonal alignment. - Glassmorphic macOS-native interface that blends into your workspace. - Smart persistence: remembers size, position, rotation, and opacity. Perfect for designers, developers, and anyone requiring exact on-screen dimensions.
