## What is Twinform?

Twinform turns your iPhone into a 3D scanner for both objects and whole rooms. Everything is processed on your device.

SCAN A ROOM
• Walk around and watch the LiDAR mesh build up over the camera view in real time
• Areas not yet photographed are highlighted, so you can see what still needs a look
• When you tap Done, the room is textured from the photos taken during your walk — no waiting for a long build
• View it as a dollhouse from above (the ceiling and near walls open up), or step inside and look around
• Group rooms into a house to keep a home or an office together

SCAN AN OBJECT
• Guided capture with real-time tips for distance, lighting and motion
• Apple Object Capture builds a photorealistic model on your iPhone
• See the aligned point cloud and camera positions while it builds

MEASURE
• Distance, angle and multi-point paths, in cm, mm or inches
• Measurements are saved with the model and can be exported as a report (text or JSON)
• Size calibration (Pro): measure one dimension with a ruler and every size for that model is corrected by the same ratio

EXPORT (Pro)
• USDZ for Apple AR Quick Look
• GLB for the web and cross-platform use, plus a lossless HD GLB
• STL for 3D printing
• OBJ for 3D editing tools
• Raw photos (free; only while a scan's capture frames remain)

LIBRARY
• Search, sort by date, name or size, and select several models at once
• Optional iCloud Sync keeps your models across your devices, in your own private iCloud — off by default

ON-DEVICE & PRIVATE
No account, no sign-up, no data collection. Scanning, texturing and reconstruction all run on your iPhone.

REQUIREMENTS
Requires an iPhone or iPad with a LiDAR scanner (iPhone 12 Pro or later Pro models, iPad Pro 2020 or later). Object scanning also needs Apple Object Capture support on your device.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 2.0 — 2026-10-27

Twinform 2.0 — a new name, a new icon, and room scanning.

NEW
• Room scanning: walk around a room and watch the LiDAR mesh build up over the camera view as you go. Areas no photo has covered yet are highlighted, so you can see what still needs a look.
• Rooms are textured from photos taken during your walk, in seconds once you tap Done.
• View a room as a dollhouse from above — the ceiling and near walls open up so you can see inside — or tap Walk Inside to stand in it and look around.
• Group rooms into a house.
• While an object model builds, see its aligned point cloud and camera positions.
• Studio lighting in the 3D preview, so object models no longer look flat and grey.

IMPROVED
• Exports use far less memory, and "Bundle all" reads each model once instead of once per format.
• Models open faster the second time, and the library loads thumbnails from disk instead of re-rendering them.
• Dragging a measurement point is smoother.
• iCloud Sync downloads several models at once.

FIXED
• Tapping Start twice during an object scan could close the app.
• Exporting two models with the same name could stop responding.
• A model rewritten in place could keep showing its old thumbnail and measurements.
• A build could stay stuck at "processing"; leftover temporary files are now cleaned up.

### 1.2 — 2026-10-18

NEW
• Measurements are now saved with each model — reopen a scan and your distances, angles and polylines are still there, in the same unit you used.
• Size calibration (Pro): measure one dimension of the real object with a ruler, enter what the app shows and the actual value, and every size for that model is corrected by the same ratio. Exported measurement reports carry the corrected values too.
• Search your library by name, sort by date, name or file size, and select several models to delete at once.
• Models that have saved measurements now show a badge in the library.
• Diagnostics export in Storage — attach your app version and storage usage when reporting a problem. Contains no model names or measurements.

IMPROVED
• Raw capture photos are now removed automatically after a successful build, so they no longer keep filling up your device.
• Consistent dark appearance throughout — scanning no longer jumps between dark and light screens.
• Reconstruction progress now appears in your system language (previously English only).
• Your preferred unit of length is remembered.
• Your measurements now sync across devices with iCloud Sync, and the menu shows a "Sync Now" button plus when it last synced.
• Arabic and other right-to-left languages now lay out correctly.

FIXED
• Deleted models no longer come back on the next iCloud sync.
• A failed deletion no longer removes the model from your library while leaving the file on disk.
• Deleting a model now also clears its saved measurements and custom name.
• 3D exports (GLB, STL, OBJ) now carry correct textures, units and orientation.
• Fixed several iCloud Sync edge cases that could delete or re-upload models.
• Restore Purchases now reports success or "nothing to restore" instead of staying silent.

### 1.0 — 2026-08-18
