Meet CoverKit: Paint & Tile — Measure walls, buy exactly enough

What CoverKit: Paint & Tile does

Every "how much paint do I need" guide in 2026 still hands you the same chore: measure every wall with a tape, subtract each window and door by hand, then multiply your way to a number you only half trust. Apple's Measure app gives you a length, not gallons. Paint-brand calculators make you do all the measuring yourself. CoverKit closes that gap.

Point your iPhone or iPad at a wall and CoverKit uses AR to detect the surface and measure its true area in seconds — no ladder, no tape, no scribbled math. Tap each window and door to subtract it, because a wall is not a solid rectangle and you shouldn't pay to cover glass. Then pick your material and CoverKit does the buying math the paint aisle never does for you.

• Paint: gallons for your exact number of coats and the coverage on the can • Wallpaper: rolls that account for pattern repeat, always rounded up • Tile: boxes for your tile size and count per box, plus bags of grout

Every estimate carries a safety buffer you control and an estimated cost, so you walk into the store with one clean shopping list per room and a project total across the whole job. Save every room, review the per-room report, and share the list with your partner, your contractor, or your future self at the checkout.

CoverKit works entirely offline. There's no account and no server — your rooms, measurements, and lists live only on your device, and the camera is used only for on-device measuring, never recorded or uploaded.

No AR on your device? On an older device or the Simulator you can enter each wall by hand — width, height, and openings — or load a fully-measured sample room and see the whole flow. The math is identical either way.

CoverKit gives estimates, not exact counts: coverage varies by product, surface, and technique, so always confirm against your material's label and buy a little extra. It's a planning tool, not a professional quote.
