How to use Bubble Level

Press Start, then lay your phone flat on a surface or stand it on its long edge. The bubble centres when the surface is level.

  1. Open the page on a phone and press Start; allow motion access if asked.
  2. Lay the phone flat for the bullseye, or stand it on an edge for the vial.
  3. If your phone case is uneven, place it on a known level surface and tap “Set zero here”.

Formula & assumptions

  • Readings come straight from your device’s sensors and stay on this device. Phone sensors are approximate; use a dedicated instrument where accuracy matters.

Questions

How accurate is a phone bubble level?

Typically within about 0.5° after calibration. Cases, camera bumps and dirty surfaces add error, so calibrate on a known level surface first.

Why does it need motion access?

The level reads the accelerometer, which measures gravity. On iPhone the browser asks for “Motion & Orientation” permission; nothing is sent anywhere.

Does it work on a laptop?

Most laptops and desktops have no accelerometer. Open the page on a phone or tablet.
