What Pileometer is
Pileometer is a DIY app built around one material: bricks. If you have a pile of them sitting in the attic or the yard, the app gives you design inspiration and step-by-step guidance for turning them into something useful, such as a fireplace, an outdoor planter stand, or a bookshelf. Alongside the ideas it provides practical help: a materials checklist so you know what to gather, and project planning for dimensions, quantity, and layout. Once a project is finished you can upload it to a community and share the result. The app is cross-platform, with versions for iOS and Android. One thing to note is that the site does not clearly state pricing, even though the listing suggests free access.

What to watch out for
Pricing is unclear from the site, so confirm cost before downloading. The focus is narrow: this is a brick project app, not a general DIY planner. The projects require real physical work, basic building skills, and in some cases tools, so difficulty varies. And since availability can differ between the App Store and Google Play, check that the version you want is offered on your device. Free tiers and usage limits can change, so check the current rules on the official page before relying on it long term.
