Measure Your Room. Test Furniture Options. Walk Your Style. Regret Nothing. "The greatest tool I could have while renovating the house. Saved me so much time." — Hannah Use your phone to measure your room, then preview realistic 3D furniture in it — at the exact size you set — in live AR. Walk around it, restyle it, and make better decisions before spending money or moving anything. SEE HOW IT LOOKS, FEELS & FILLS YOUR ROOM A measurement only proves it fits. Painter's tape on the floor leaves a sticky, messy outline — flat, no height, no bulk, no sense of how the room will feel. Measure Tools places the furniture item itself in your room: real size, real volume, standing on your floor in live AR. Walk up to it. See how it looks in your light, how it fills the corner, how much room it really leaves. • 31 adjustable pieces across 5 categories: sofas, seating, tables, beds, storage • Draw it in place: two taps for the base, raise the phone for the height — then match the exact dimensions of any listing, any store, any carpenter's sketch • 37 material finishes — woods, fabrics, leathers, metals, stones — plus free color choice • Placed a fit-check box first? One tap turns it into the real piece — same size, same spot TRY THE WHOLE LAYOUT, NOT ONE PIECE Rooms fail in the in-between: the walkway that disappears, the drawer that can't open, the corner that suddenly feels tight. Place the full arrangement — sofa, table, chairs, storage — and see the distances left between the pieces. Then step inside and walk the paths you'll use every day, before anything is bought or moved. FLOOR PLANS IN 2D & 3D Chain measurements into a floor plan, then view it flat or explore it in 3D. Calculate area instantly — perfect for flooring estimates and renovation planning.

IDX does two things, both on your phone. VERIFY AN ID Scan a driver's licence, ID card or passport, take a selfie with a quick liveness check (a blink and a head turn), and see exactly what was read and how it compares: the face on the ID against your selfie, every field read from the document, and the front of the card checked against its barcode. No account. No install needed when it is opened from an IDX link or App Clip Code. SAY WHAT YOU NEED On iPhones with Apple Intelligence, tap "Think out loud" and talk. IDX writes down what you said, then turns it into a short note: a title, the gist, what you need from IDX, a section for each subject, and your next steps. Check it, add your name and email (or scan your ID to fill in your name), and send it to IDX by email. PRIVATE BY DESIGN - Your ID, selfie and voice are processed on your phone, using Apple's on-device speech and language models and IDX's own on-device document and face technology. - Nothing is uploaded. There is no account and no tracking. - The app keeps your voice notes and ID checks only on your phone, protected, and you can delete any of them or all of them in History. The App Clip keeps nothing. - The only thing that ever leaves your phone is the email you choose to send. Made in Vancouver by IDX Studios.
