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.

Your car, not a stock picture. Dashfie turns a photo of your own car into a widget for your iPhone Home Screen, Lock Screen and, on iOS 26, your CarPlay dashboard. HOW IT WORKS 1. Take a photo of your car or pick one from your library. GIFs, Live Photos and built-in silhouettes work too. 2. Cut out the background right on your iPhone, or keep the full photo. 3. Pick a template and a style, then add the widget. TEMPLATES - A greeting with your name - Today's date - A countdown to your insurance renewal or technical inspection - Days together with your car - Photo only, with no text at all Add your plate, typed the way you like it, with a country band (30 countries). Small and medium sizes, plus the Lock Screen. MAKE IT YOURS - 6 themes: Classic, Sport, Speed, Vintage, Blossom and Dreamy - 14 banners, animated or solid - 8 effects: headlights, smoke, snow, rain, butterflies and frames - Pixel art pets that ride along CAR MODE Put your iPhone in a holder and turn it sideways. Car Mode opens a big landscape dashboard with your widget, a clock and shortcuts to Maps, Music, Spotify and more. It opens and closes when you rotate your phone. - Choose the tiles next to your car and their order - Weather where you are, from Apple Weather - Now Playing: the song in Apple Music, with big buttons - A second photo or animation SOUNDS FOR YOUR CAR A short sound for three moments: when your iPhone connects to your car (CarPlay or Bluetooth), when you get out, and when you arrive home. You set it up once with a Shortcuts automation, and Dashfie walks you through it. 15 sounds you can listen to before you buy, or record your own (it stays on your phone). DASHFIE PRO Design your widget and watch the live preview for free. Saving it needs Dashfie Pro: - Unlimited widgets - All templates, themes, banners, effects and pets - Car Mode - All 15 sounds and your own sounds - Widgets on CarPlay, the Home Screen and the Lock Screen Pick the yearly subscription with a 3-day free trial for new subscribers (cancel in Settings before it ends and you pay nothing), or pay once with a one-time purchase and no subscription at all. Payments only through Apple. PRIVATE BY DESIGN - No account, no sign-up. - Your photos stay on your iPhone. The cut-out and the photo check happen on the device. - Weather uses your approximate location, only when you add the tile. - Anonymous usage stats, which you can turn off in Settings. GOOD TO KNOW - Dashfie is a widget app. It does not replace or theme the CarPlay interface. - Showing widgets on CarPlay requires iOS 26 and a car or head unit that supports CarPlay widgets. - Dashfie is not affiliated with Apple or any car maker, and uses no car brand logos. PURCHASE TERMS Dashfie Pro yearly is an auto-renewable yearly subscription ($9.99 per year in the US; local prices may vary) with a 3-day free trial for new subscribers. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when the trial ends, unless you cancel at least 24 hours before. The subscription renews automatically each year unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before that. You can manage or cancel anytime in iPhone Settings > [your name] > Subscriptions. Any unused part of the free trial is forfeited when you buy a subscription. Dashfie Pro, pay once is a one-time purchase ($16.99 in the US; local prices may vary). It is not a subscription and never renews. It is tied to your Apple Account, and you can restore it on your other devices with Restore Purchases. Dashfie requires Dashfie Pro. Without an active Dashfie Pro, for example after a cancelled trial or an expired subscription, your widgets show a locked state until you subscribe again or restore your purchase.
