Pixel Caliper
Point at anything on screen to measure it. Edge snapping finds the edges around the pointer and shows the distances in four directions, plus width and height, with a loupe, guides and a ruler that follows the pointer.
Free to use without a key: the ruler that follows the pointer, guides with the gaps between them, and points or pixels.
Buy a license key to unlock Pro: edge snapping, the loupe, several measurements on screen and copying sizes as text, CSS or SwiftUI.
