Hidden Wire Detector

Looking for hidden wires before you drill? Need to know if a charger, lamp, or extension cord is actually carrying current? Hidden Wire Detector turns the magnetometer already inside your phone into a live magnetic-field scanner—no extra gadgets, no guesswork.

WHAT THE APP DOES

Hidden Wire Detector reads the magnetic field around your phone in real time. When current flows through a wire, the field shifts: the radar lights up, jitter rises, and you get an “AC signature” status. A speaker, power-supply transformer, or magnet nearby shows up as a steady anomaly.

This is a contactless current and magnetic-field indicator. Voltage alone is invisible—a live wire with no load is almost silent. A charger that’s actually charging, a kettle, a lamp, a speaker, a microwave, or a transformer lights up immediately.

WHO IT’S FOR

• Home repair and drilling—get a hint where cable may run in the wall

• “Is there current or not?” checks on a working appliance

• Checking chargers, extension cords, and power bricks

• A pocket lab if you want to understand current and magnetic fields

• Anyone who wants a precise instrument, not a toy with a skull icon

FEATURES

• Live radar and waveform in microtesla (µT) or milligauss (mG)

• Statuses: quiet field / magnetic anomaly / 50–60 Hz AC signature / strong field

• One-tap quiet-room calibration

• Event log with peak and duration

• In-app lab: how the sensor works and why paired cables hide

• Sensitivity from Low to Extreme

• Optional haptic and audio ticks

• 5 languages: English, Russian, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese + system default

• Dark laboratory UI—easy to read in low light

HOW TO SCAN

1. Open Scan and tap Calibrate away from electronics.

2. Hold the top edge of the phone almost against the cable or wall.

3. Sweep slowly. Jitter = alternating current. A steady jump = magnet, speaker, or metal.

4. Repeat from another angle—the field is directional.

Best targets: a charger under load, a speaker, a transformer, a microwave, or a single separated conductor.

SAFETY

Hidden Wire Detector is an indicator, not a certified voltage tester and not a substitute for a non-contact voltage pen or a multimeter. Do not open outlets, cut insulation, or trust the app around water or damaged wiring. Before any work on mains electricity, use a proper electrician’s tool.

Why a wall cable can stay “quiet”: live and neutral run together and cancel each other’s fields. The app tells you that up front—so you can trust it.

WHY PEOPLE DOWNLOAD IT

Honest physics instead of empty promises. A living instrument, not a grey table of numbers. Works on the compass sensor already in your phone—nothing to plug in.
