Closed window
Tap Fix value and, within three seconds, hold the top of the screen against the closed glass, facing the light. The display goes black while the sensor samples, then a signal tells you it is done.

Measure window tint with the phone in your pocket.
Tint Meter estimates visible light transmission (VLT) from two readings — glass up, then glass down — and gives you a percentage, a tint level, and an accuracy range. On Android it reads the ambient light sensor. iPhone has no light sensor an app may read, so there it measures with the front camera.

iPhone version in testing
Precision in transparency. Clarity in measurement.
Onboarding, live sensor, and results — the full path on one screen.
How it works
Two light readings. One VLT number.
The app compares light through the glass with light in the open. Keep the phone still, with the top edge toward the light — that is where the sensor sits on Android, and the front camera on iPhone.

Window down
Lower the window, keep the phone in the same place, and fix a second value. Same distance, same aim — that pairing is what turns two lux readings into VLT.

Read, save, or share
You get light transparency, tint level, and an accuracy band. Save it on the phone with a name such as “BMW — front left”, or share a branded card.
What’s in the app
Built for a quick check, not a lab bench.
Everything below ships today. History never leaves the device. Sharing only happens when you tap Share.
VLT and tint level
See how much light gets through, plus a tint percentage, on a 10–100% scale matched to the result graphic.
Accuracy range
Each reading shows a percentage band, and says plainly when something limited it — too dark, the light shifted, or the sensor reported too little to judge steadiness.
Low-light warning
If ambient light is too weak for a usable estimate, the app tells you to face a brighter source and try again.
Named history
Save readings locally with a title and window chips (front, rear, windshield). Review, share, or delete them later. Nothing is uploaded to Highapps.
Share cards
Export a branded result image and a link to the app through your phone’s share sheet — WhatsApp, mail, or wherever you send it.
Works offline for the meter
The measuring runs on the phone: an ambient light sensor on Android, camera frames read and discarded in memory on iPhone. Internet is used for ads, and on Android for crash reports, and for this policy page.
Be straight about it
An estimate. Not a certified tint meter.
Phone light sensors and cameras vary by device and placement. Lighting, angle, and how still you hold the phone all move the number. That honesty is the point — so you do not treat a pocket tool like a roadside instrument.
Do not use Tint Meter for legal, regulatory, law-enforcement, insurance, or professional certification. For official window-tint compliance, use a calibrated meter.
On Android it needs a working ambient light sensor. On iPhone it needs camera access, because there is no light sensor an app may read — the frames are read for brightness and discarded, and nothing is photographed or stored. Free on Google Play, supported by ads; the iPhone version is in testing.
- No account No name, email, or sign-in. Open the app and measure.
- No location, contacts, or photo library On Android the meter uses the light sensor and asks for no camera access at all. On iPhone it asks for the camera and nothing else, because that is the only way to read light there. History you type stays in the app’s private storage.
- Ads, used plainly Banners on home and result, and at most one interstitial after a reading per app process, via Google AdMob. Consent where Google requires it.
- Languages that match the product English, Russian, and Armenian — the same three the app ships with.
