Changelog
Recent releases
Consistent drill and tap results that reopen exactly
- Gave drill and tap measurements the same complete candidate cards, confidence, measured evidence, and nearby-size comparisons as fastener results.
- Added drill and tap result saving to the local Parts Bin.
- Made saved drill and tap measurements reopen the exact candidate that was selected.
Searchable hardware libraries and clearer size comparisons
- Unified threads, drill bits, tool openings, washers, and pipe in one offline searchable library.
- Added nearby verified sizes, including measured cross-system neighbors where the supported data allows them.
- Made library facts easier to scan with clearer signals and distinct fastener-head illustrations.
Drill and tap identification and sizing
- Added a calibrated Drill & Tap Gauge for common Metric, Fractional, Number, and Letter drill bits and straight-thread taps.
- Added a Tap & Drill Finder with tap-drill sizes and separate close, normal, and loose clearance-hole references.
- Improved Metric and Inch/SAE drill labels and added the closest commonly labeled alternative when an exact size is less familiar.
Clearer fastener measurement and larger-screen layouts
- Made Metric and Inch/SAE support explicit throughout fastener identification and added calibrated peaks-and-valleys thread profiles.
- Strengthened Light and Dark thread contrast and improved foldable, tablet, and pipe measurement layouts.
- Improved the protected-screen blade-fuse contact interaction while keeping broader physical fuse and device validation open.
Fuse touch check and Other tools
- Added an Other tools area with a screen-response check for loose, disconnected blade and round fuses.
- Added screen-protection guidance and clarified that screen contact is not a continuity result. Confirm the fuse with a meter.
- Improved the Verify before buying panel in Dark mode.
Measurement locking and refined workplanes
- Added an explicit lock step before using a captured diameter or length measurement.
- Clarified thread lines and hardware targets, and refined workplanes on larger and foldable screens.
- Regenerated the Google Play screenshot set from the current interface.
Saved themes and wider-screen layouts
- Added saved Light, Dark, and System theme choices.
- Reduced unnecessary scrolling on foldable and tablet layouts and gave instruments more usable space.
Machined instrument visuals
- Introduced a more consistent machined-instrument visual system.
- Improved caliper construction and fixed overlapping scale labels.
Caliper and height-gauge tools
- Added a digital-caliper diameter tool and a height-gauge layout for fastener length.
- Refined the pipe gauge for clearer comparisons.
Clearer measurement work areas
- Improved instrument depth and separated measurement work areas without changing the sizing math.
