LimbTape
Tape-measure your limb at home and get the volume, not just centimetres
LimbTape walks you through circumferences at the fixed 4 cm landmarks your therapist uses, turns them into limb volume with the truncated-cone formula, and compares every session to your baseline and your other side against a threshold you set. Free, offline, and never a diagnosis.

What you can do in LimbTape on the web
Guided measuring session
One landmark at a time with a schematic limb showing which ring you are on, a big entry field, and last session's reading for that exact landmark shown underneath.
Volume, computed the clinical way
Consecutive circumferences C1 and C2 spaced h cm apart form a truncated cone of h·(C1² + C1·C2 + C2²) ÷ 12π; nine landmarks give eight segments summed into millilitres.
Baseline, other side, and your own line
Mark any session as baseline, set a percentage threshold yourself, and every later session shows its change against baseline and against the contralateral limb — flagged, never diagnosed.
See which landmark is moving
Volume over time, change against baseline as bars that turn amber past your threshold, and a landmark-by-landmark table of what changed since the first session.
Garments and how it feels
Log compression garments with a purchase date and lifespan so you know when they stop compressing, tick off wear days, and rate heaviness, tightness and aching 0–5 alongside the numbers.
A report you can hand over
Every limb, session, volume, percentage, garment and symptom laid out as one page you can copy, download or print — plus a CSV with one row per landmark per session.
