Add it the way you say it.

Type feet, inches and fractions as you read them off the tape. Clad adds them exactly, rounds once, and tells you how.

10 ft 3 1/2 in + 4 ft 9 3/8 in= 15 ft 0 7/8 in

Every result names its rounding, so a number never changes without you seeing it. Hold the in key for millimetres, centimetres and metres.

Questions

When is it out?

Soon, on the iPhone. Write to support@rhinecom.com and I will tell you the day it is in the App Store.

What does it cost?

You can try everything free for 7 days. After that Clad is paid, once or by the month, and the prices are shown in the App Store. The tools need it; the calculator is always free, and what you saved stays readable and exportable either way.

Does it work without a signal?

Yes. Clad makes no network connection of its own, so it works the same in a basement or on a roof.

Which units does it use?

Feet, inches and fractions by default. You can see results in millimetres, centimetres or metres, and switch above the display.

Does it check building codes?

No. Clad works out the numbers you type. You are still the one who checks measurements and follows your local building rules.

What if I stop paying for the monthly plan?

The tools lock again; the calculator stays free. Everything you saved stays on your phone and can still be read, shared and exported.

Android?

Not for now. Clad is for the iPhone.
