Power tools.

The sharp end of the takeoff — flood-fill measuring, count by example, align and overlay revisions, and snap even on raster.

Magic Measure.

// color flood

Click or drag an area — Purple Hammer finds its boundary. No tracing.

  1. Click or drag in an area. Purple Hammer floods to its edges — a green preview.
  2. Openings remove themselves — windows, doors and islands drop out automatically.
  3. Accept, and it becomes a measurement — live in the spreadsheet (red).

Magic Count.

// image search

Capture an example — Purple Hammer finds and counts every match.

  1. Capture one (or more) examples — a symbol, a fixture, a tag.
  2. It finds every match.
  3. Numbered and counted, committed to the drawing and worksheet.

Compare revisions.

// align & overlay

Drop a revised set on the old one and see exactly what changed.

  1. Load two revisions
  2. Align & compare
  3. Blink between versions, and overlay

The rest of the kit.

01 / alignment

When one line-up isn't enough.

Drop a schedule into the middle of a sheet and half the drawing slides left, half slides right — no single alignment fits.

Auto-alignShifted, moved or scaled — corrected in ~2 seconds.
Multi-alignFinds both alignments; flick between them to compare each half.
02 / built for AI

Built for the AI you'll have.

Purple Hammer was made with AI in mind. Native MCP gives your own local AI genuine, full in-app access — and it only sharpens as your AI does.

Full in-app accessSee and mark up drawings, build formulas and templates.
Document controlRuns revisions and doc control end to end — no gimmick.
03 / snapping

Snap — even on raster.

Snap to corners, edges and grid — and not only on vector. Scanned and image PDFs snap just like the clean ones.

Vector + rasterThe messy drawings measure just as precisely.
Precision locksOrtho / 45°, geometry and grid.
