SafeWall · Last updated 19 September 2026

SafeWall is an assistive indicator, not a certified detector. It helps you decide where not to drill. It can never tell you that a spot is safe.

What SafeWall does

SafeWall reads your phone's three-axis magnetometer to find the field distortion caused by metal behind a wall, separates out the 50 or 60 Hz ripple that a current-carrying cable adds, and analyses the sound of you tapping the wall to tell a hollow cavity from a stud. All of it runs on your device.

Safety, and what the app cannot see

Read this before you use SafeWall to decide where to put a drill. These are physical limits of the sensors in a phone, not shortcomings that a later version will fix.

  • A cable carrying no current produces no magnetic field. Unpowered wiring is invisible to any magnetometer.
  • Plastic and PEX water pipes contain no metal and cannot be detected at all.
  • Deep installations, thick concrete, metal lath and foil-backed insulation hide or mask targets.
  • Phone sensors differ widely by model. A quiet reading means no signal was found. It does not mean nothing is there.
  • SafeWall cannot measure depth, and it cannot tell you the difference between a nail and a live conductor with certainty.

Your responsibility

Before you drill, switch off the circuit at the consumer unit, check any plans you have, and confirm with a professional detector whenever anything is at stake. You accept this when you tick the acknowledgement on first launch. You are responsible for every hole you make.

Who may use it

SafeWall is for adults carrying out ordinary work in their own home. It is not intended for children, and it is not intended for professional electrical, structural or utility survey work where a calibrated instrument is required.

Purchases

The free version includes magnetic metal detection and two complete scans. SafeWall Pro unlocks live mains cable analysis, the acoustic stud finder, the drill safety score and map, unlimited scans, the scan log and the wall profiles. Pro is sold as a monthly subscription, a yearly subscription or a single lifetime payment. Every price is shown in your own currency on the purchase screen before you confirm.

Billing is handled entirely by Apple or Google. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends, and you manage or cancel them in your store account settings, not in the app. The lifetime option is a single payment and never renews. Purchases made on iOS are governed by the Apple Standard EULA.

Refunds

Refunds are granted by the store that took the payment, under its own policy. We cannot issue a refund ourselves, but write to gelistirbizi@gmail.com and we will help you with the request.

No warranty

SafeWall is provided as it is, without warranty of any kind. We do not warrant that it will detect any particular object, that its readings are accurate on your device, or that it will run without interruption.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for property damage, injury, repair cost or loss arising from your use of SafeWall, including any decision you take about where to drill. Nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited by law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence.

Changes

We may update these terms when the app changes. The date at the top of this page shows when it was last revised, and continuing to use SafeWall means you accept the current version.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the law of the Republic of Türkiye.
