Turn your iPhone or iPad into a powerful 3D scanner. Point at an object, follow the AR guidance, and get a textured 3D model — built entirely on your device. No account. No cloud processing. No subscription. SCAN OBJECTS Perfect for artworks, hand-crafted items, toys, anime figures, and more: 1. Point at the object — the app gauges its size and places a bounding box you can adjust 2. Slowly circle the object — photos are taken automatically; just light up the ring of white dots 3. Follow the guided passes with short tutorial videos: flip the object, or scan from a lower angle and the top 4. Generate the model on your device and preview it in AR 5. Share it in a few taps SCAN ROOMS — TWO WAYS • Floor plan: walk through your space and watch walls, doors, windows, and furniture get outlined live. Scan several rooms and merge them into one structure. You get an interactive 3D model plus a measured 2D floor plan: floor area, wall lengths and height, door and window counts — tap any piece of furniture for its dimensions. • Photo-textured room mesh (LiDAR): capture a true 3D mesh of your room with photos baked in as seam-free textures. The app shoots high-resolution (up to 4K HDR) photos hands-free while a color tint shows what you have covered. Then drive a hovering robot through your scan in third person, with real collision against your scanned walls and furniture. Exploring is free; exporting and sharing room meshes requires Pro. EXPORT & SHARE • .usdz — mobile friendly, opens straight into AR Quick Look • .obj with textures — for professional 3D software (Pro) • .stl — for 3D printing (Pro); room meshes export with hole filling, smoothing, and a detail slider • Share via Messages, Mail, AirDrop, or save to Files • Create a public iCloud Drive download link anyone can open — no app needed (iOS 26 or later) • Publish to Sketchfab and share your model as a link or QR code CAD-STYLE FLOOR PLAN EXPORTS • PNG image or a CAD-styled multi-page PDF report with dimension lines, a scale bar, and wall/object schedules (2 free exports included) • Layered DXF that opens in your CAD software (Pro) • Plan your furniture: draw annotation boxes with exact real-world sizes on the floor plan — they turn red if they would collide with walls or existing furniture (Pro) MEASURE See the real-world width, height, and depth of your scans, and measure point-to-point on 3D models and 2D floor plans, in your local units (2 free measuring sessions included). AND MORE • Import 10 or more of your own photos from Photos or Files and reconstruct them into a 3D model on-device (Pro) • Try it instantly with a free downloadable example capture • Transfer captures to the companion Mac app for maximum-detail models • Localized in 16 languages • Pro is a one-time purchase — no subscription, works on all your devices REQUIREMENTS Scanning requires a LiDAR-equipped iPhone Pro or iPad Pro. Captured data stays on your device unless you choose to share it.

clew(クリュー)— 好奇心に糸を通す、視覚的メモアプリ 「あとで調べよう」と思って撮ったスクリーンショットや写真——気づけばカメラロールの奥深くに沈み、なぜ撮ったのか理由すら忘れてしまった経験はありませんか? clewは、そんな「気になる」に糸(clew)を通して、あなたの好奇心を次のアクションへと繋げるミニマルな視覚的メモアプリです。アプリ名「clew」は、迷宮を抜け出すための「糸玉」を意味する英語から来ています。 ■ 主な機能 ▶ 共有シートから1秒保存 シェアボタン一つでclewに保存できます。「どこに保存しよう」と迷う時間はゼロ。見た瞬間に、ためられます。 ▶ 一言メモで文脈を残す 写真ごとに短いコメントを添えられます。「来月行きたい」「友達と一緒に観たい」「これが欲しい」——なぜ保存したのかを一言書き留めるだけで、あとで見返したときに意味のある情報として蘇ります。 ▶ コレクションで自由に整理 「映画」「行きたい場所」「欲しいもの」「レシピ」など、自分だけの箱(コレクション)を作って写真を分類できます。厳密に管理しなくてOK、ゆるく整理するだけで十分です。 ▶ ミニマルなタイムライン 保存した写真が時系列でグリッド表示されます。スクロールしながら眺めるだけで、自分の好奇心の記録が見えてきます。写真タップでフルスクリーン表示、ピンチでズーム、左右スワイプで前後の写真へ移動できます。 ▶ カメラで直接撮影 アプリ内蔵のカメラから撮影して、そのまま保存できます。リアルタイムで気になったものをその場で記録。 ▶ iCloudで安全に同期 写真はiCloudに自動バックアップ。デバイスを替えてもデータは守られます。 ■ こんな人にぴったり ・スクリーンショットがカメラロールに溜まりすぎている方 ・「あとで調べよう」がそのまま忘れ去られてしまう方 ・NotionやEvernoteは重くて続かない方 ・写真で残したいが、細かい整理はしたくない方 ・映画・旅行先・欲しいもの・レシピをビジュアルでストックしたい方 ■ デザインのこだわり clewは「管理」ではなく「ためる」ことに特化して設計されています。丁寧に整理できない日でも、ただ写真を投げ込むだけで機能します。文字を書かなくてもOK。分類しなくてもOK。それだけで、あとから見返せる「手がかり」になります。
