What you get
Check your design’s proportions without stopping to calculate them.
You get a transparent ruler over your work, letting you compare spacing and proportions against the golden ratio without leaving your design. When you need exact dimensions, you can calculate from any ratio point rather than work through the formula yourself.
You can also check compositions against other proportion guides, including regular and diagonal thirds and baroque proportions. Six ruler themes let you choose the reference that suits your project. The ruler adjusts to the background color so you can keep seeing it, and you can enable it across multiple monitors.
You can bring up the ruler from the menu bar or assign your own shortcuts to show it and switch themes. That means fewer interruptions when you want to test a proportion and return to your work.
