If you have ever tried measuring anything on screen, either by counting the pixels or using a ruler, you will always be way off. If you are designer of any sort using a tool like Rulers, is just the tool you need to make sure all of your designs, on screen, are pixel perfect. Although most design packages have a ruler system installed in them, have a universal program is very useful. This tool is very similar to the highly rated Xscope.

Get Out Your Measuring Stick

Rulers has two main features. The ruler overlays, which are attached to the top and left of your screen, and a window palette used to give you information such as colour and coordinates of the pixel you are over. There are lots of small features such as guidelines which enable you to set up your screen exactly as you want.

The program isn’t just about two rulers on your screen. There are lots of mini features to enable you to use this app. For instance there is the ability to take screenshots, measuring between two points. You can also hide the rulers with one quick click which is great when things start to get a bit cluttered.

Conclusion

Overall this is a well built and solid app. If you are the designer type it may be very useful. I would guess it best for on screen work such as application building or things involving video, photo design programs usually have something like this built in. The only problem with this app is that it is a little bit expensive. It could be a little cheaper for what it does.
