Huepar, a developer of precision measuring tools used by contractors, builders, and DIY pros, unveils the next generation of its Huepar App, the software backbone of the company’s Huepar Tools ecosystem. Extending beyond its original role as a basic remote control, the app now supports up to 30 devices across five categories: laser levels, laser distance meters, digital angle gauges, rotary lasers, and motorized bases.
Allegedly for the first time, a single smart phone replaces a stack of remotes. Crews can wake a leveled laser from sleep without climbing a ladder, trigger a tripod-mounted distance meter without shaking the laser point, and command a motorized base from one screen.
A notable capability of the app, Point-to-Point (P2P) measures the distance between any two points in space. Traditionally, this requires laser distance meters with built-in tilt sensors. The Huepar App relies on a smart phone’s own motion tracking to compute the spatial angle, allowing the use of budget Huepar meters without tilt sensors to perform the same task.
A new Layout function promises to turn a tedious manual process into a guided walk. On-screen, users see which way to move between points. As the distance meter stays fixed while the user walks, the laser never shakes. Haptic feedback signals, “approaching” and “arrived,” let users keep their eyes on the wall instead of the phone.
The app automatically saves and organizes measurements by date, project, room, or client. Users can snap a jobsite photo, drag measurement lines onto the image, drop in door and window components, and label key dimensions. Users can export final sketches as high-resolution images.
Additionally, the latest Huepar App release features a rebuilt architecture that resolves prior performance and compatibility issues: macOS has completed technical validation and Windows and large-screen versions are in progress. The team is actively developing cloud sync, AR measurement, and CAD file conversion. For greater insight, visit the Huepar website.
