Rulers overview

Rulers is an app that lets you measure, align, and inspect everything on your monitor(s).

Rulers allows you to create as many rulers as you want on the entire screen area like most common graphic editors allow on their working areas only. The guide lines enable you to measure and position objects with precision. Rulers is incredibly useful in many fields, such as computer graphics, desktop publishing, and Web design.

Rulers can also be used to select a screen area and take a screenshot that is automatically saved to your desktop or copied to system clipboard.

Main features:
  • Unlimited rulers creation
  • Rulers autosave option
  • Grid generator
  • Multiple units of measurement support
  • Auto measure

  • Take a screenshot of selected area or whole screen
  • Magnifier

  • Automatic Internet update
  • Available for Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X

Now that this is App Store only, how does one update their existing version 2? Going into the program setup and clicking update does not find the new version and the update is not available on the developers web page (not that I can find). I'm not an App Store hater but this is one thing that annoys me about it... i. e. when I have an existing license and can not get updates (or have to jump through hoops to do so). It would be nice if the App Store recognized existing licensed software on my Mac and would allow updates (or upgrades). Guess I am asking too much...

Couldn't even try this out, as it crashed after about 15 seconds (when i tried to drag a guide). This is on a Mac Pro with 10.6.2

Nice application, crash a few times (An exception of class NilObjectExeption was not handled) on my macbook CD1/tiger but very easy to use, that's the most important! My wishes for the future: Be able to magnet a window in the ruler's corner and Be able to save rulers setting and switch between these settings. Thanks

I've recently discovered Rulers and I think it's a great tool. It's the easiest way to measure everything is on the screen and take screenshots. The interface is simple and cool. Rulers can be created and moved both thru drag and drop and shortcut (making adjustments more accurate). I'm using it on a dual monitor configuration, with different size monitors, and it works perfectly. There is also a Windows version available.
