The best conduit bending apps for iPhone (2026)

Full disclosure: I make iBend Pipe, so I'm not neutral. To keep this fair, every detail below comes from each app's App Store listing as of November 2026, and I've pointed out where the other apps do something better. Listings change, so check the App Store before you decide.

At a glance

“Not listed” means the App Store listing doesn't mention it. The app may still have it.

iBend Pipe

iBend Pipe has been on the App Store since 2009, and it got its biggest set of updates yet this year.

• Nearly 300 real benders. Version 6.5 added 195 bender settings from Greenlee, Milwaukee, Gardner Bender, Current Tools and iTOOLco. Mark the ones you own as favorites, filter the list, or sort it by size.
• 17 bend types: offsets (1st and 2nd bend critical), rolling offsets, parallel offsets, kicks, 3- and 4-bend saddles, 90s, back-to-back and segmented 90s, concentric 90s, and 90s around round, square and rectangular obstructions.
• Centerline radius math. Marks are calculated from your bender's radius, with shrink already accounted for. Multiplier-method screens show how every value was found, and impossible bends are flagged before you waste a stick.
• A built-in level. Hold the phone on the conduit to read its angle, then send that angle straight into the calculation.
• Every Apple device. iPhone, Apple Watch, Mac and Apple Vision Pro, plus native iPad support and side-by-side layouts for foldable iPhones, both new in 6.6.
• Inch-and-fraction keypad and metric, with no ads and no data collected.

Where it falls short: it's English only, and its rating (★ 4.2 from 109 ratings) is lower than the others. It also doesn't yet handle parallel offsets with different sizes of conduit.

QuickBend

QuickBend by Bret Hardman is the most-rated app here, with about 4,000 ratings. It lists 17 bend types, including several kick variations (kick with 90, matching bend and matching center kicks, parallel kicks) and matching offsets.

• Strengths: QuickCheck colors flag impossible (red) and unlikely (orange) bends. It can put multiple bends on one piece of conduit, saves sessions, and offers a slider input as well as a number pad. It's in English and Spanish, and it runs on Apple Watch.
• Things to know: its bender library covers popular hand and mechanical models plus custom entries, not hundreds of models. Its listing doesn't mention a built-in level.

Conduit Bending

Conduit Bending by xNeat, the app behind conduitbending.com, covers offsets, rolling offsets, saddles, 90s and corner obstructions, with 1st and 2nd bend critical versions.

• Strengths: more than 30 hand, Chicago, electric and hydraulic benders, EMT, IMC, rigid and PVC from 1/2″ to 5″, and over 30 languages. It also has a strong companion website.
• Things to know: it shows ads unless you subscribe. It has no Apple Watch or Mac version.

Conduit Bender Elite

Conduit Bender Elite by Cyberprodigy has 14 calculators, including near and far bend critical offsets, kicked and segmented 90s, parallel runs and corner obstructions.

• Strengths: a simple, quick layout with diagrams and step-by-step instructions, and a ★ 4.8 rating from 1,700 ratings.
• Things to know: there's no bender library. You enter the deduct and take-up for your own bender instead. The digital level is an extra purchase, and there's no Apple Watch version.

Which one should you get?

• You want marks for your exact bender: iBend Pipe, with nearly 300 built in, or QuickBend.
• You bend from your wrist: iBend Pipe or QuickBend, the two with Apple Watch apps.
• You need Spanish or another language: QuickBend or Conduit Bending.
• You do a lot of kicks and multi-bend runs: QuickBend.
• You want to learn why the numbers work: iBend Pipe shows the math, and our Bend Theory articles go deeper.
• You just want quick numbers on any device: try our free online calculators first.

Also worth a look

Newer apps like BendPro, BendCalc and Bend Logic have appeared in 2026, but most have only a handful of ratings so far. RIGIDpro, also by Bret Hardman, is built for mechanical, electric and hydraulic benders and doesn't support hand benders.
