Reforge 3D
Read full descriptionHide full description
Reforge turns real-world objects into 3D models. Capture an object with your iPhone, your Mac reconstructs it, and a USDZ model lands back on your phone — ready for AR Quick Look. HOW IT WORKS 1. Walk around an object with your iPhone, tapping to capture photos from every angle (50+ for clean results). 2. Photos transfer to your Mac over your local Wi-Fi, or via a temporary cloud relay when the two devices aren't on the same network. 3. Your Mac runs the reconstruction locally and hands the model back to your iPhone. WHAT YOU GET • USDZ output, natively supported by iOS, macOS, and AR Quick Look • Optional OBJ export other 3D pipelines • Local-first by default — disable cloud sync to keep every photo on your devices • No account, no login, no subscription, no advertising, no tracking REQUIREMENTS • iPhone on iOS 18+ with a rear camera • Mac on macOS 15+ for the companion processor • LiDAR-equipped iPhones (Pro models) give noticeably cleaner results
