## What is SpectraScan?

Discover what the world is made of.

Scan an everyday object and explore the materials, manufacturing processes, and design choices behind it. From the bottle on your desk to the sole of your shoe, SpectraScan helps you see familiar things in a new way.

WHAT IS IT MADE OF?
Take a photo or choose one you already have, review it, and tap Analyze. Explore the object's components, its likely materials, and the visible clues behind each estimate.

HOW IS IT MADE?
Follow the manufacturing journey: how materials are shaped, how parts come together, and how finishing gives an object its final look and feel. Open short, step-by-step lessons for selected processes to understand what happens along the way.

WHY THAT MATERIAL?
Learn how properties such as strength, weight, flexibility, and durability influence a design. Understand why a maker might choose one material over another and what those choices mean for the finished object.

KEEP YOUR CURIOSITY GOING
Revisit discoveries in your private scan history. Browse featured examples and approved community scans in Explore, or go deeper in the Materials Library. Your scans stay private unless you choose to share them.

START FREE. GO DEEPER WITH PRO.
Free includes 3 successful scans per month, private history, public Explore examples, and starter Library guides. Spectra Pro removes the monthly scan cap, subject to reasonable-use and safety safeguards, and unlocks all currently available Library deep dives and full material and manufacturing detail.

Pro is $6.99/month in the U.S. The App Store shows the price and renewal terms before purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically until canceled in your App Store account settings. Restore Purchases is available in Pricing and Settings. Deleting a SpectraScan account does not cancel an App Store subscription.

A FEW THINGS TO KNOW
SpectraScan uses photo-based AI analysis for learning. Results are estimates, not laboratory measurements, exact chemical identification, or product-safety certification.

Before photo processing, you choose whether to allow OpenAI analysis. You can withdraw permission in Settings. Use photos you have permission to upload, keep private details out of frame, and scan objects only. People, animals, and private documents are not supported.

Currently for adults 18 and older, with photo analysis available through supported United States network access.
