I've seen a couple that run on Windows, but I'm a Mac guy. Any thoughts?

thanks,

Does it need to be desktop? I don't know if they make a desktop version, but I ponied up for the mobile version of Ballistic-X and enjoy using it.

Measuring?

If you meant "messaging", my next question would be.... Text only or Video?

Lots of people text me from their iphone. Doesn't Mac have "Messages"?

Yes, I did mean measuring.

I may go that route. Thanks for the input.

The range buddy app for android is good and inexpensive, I dont know if there is a version for iPhone or ipad.

I always just used the measure tool in adobe acrobat pro, or acrobat dc as it's called now. If there is a free tool (or cheap) that keeps me from creating a circle and measuring the diameter I'm all in!

It’s a bit late, but look up targetscan in the App Store.

Dunno if you have an M1 chip Mac at this point or not, but they can even run a lot of the iPhone/iPad apps because it's the same architecture. Ballistic X says "designed for iPad, not verified for Mac OS," but if you can use it on your phone or iPad anyway, it wouldn't be terrible to test it out on your Mac while you're at it. (As for the M1 chip computers themselves, if you don't have one yet, I've had one for a few months now, and I'd say c'mon in, the water's fine.)

I’ve also got an M1 MacBook Air. Very nice except mine has the dreaded unable to update the OS problem. 🤬
