SurfaceIQ turns your phone into a precision surface scanner. Point it at a wall, floor, panel, appliance, or vehicle and SurfaceIQ finds cracks, stains, dents, discoloration, and wear โ€” then marks each anomaly right on your photo with a severity rating. โ€ข Findings on the real photo โ€” every flaw pinpointed with a tappable, color-coded box โ€ข Real-world depth โ€” measure dents and bulges in actual millimeters on LiDAR/ARCore devices โ€ข Before & after โ€” save a baseline and slide to compare; proof for move-outs, claims and inspections โ€ข Live capture coach โ€” steadiness and lighting guidance captures a clean, analyzable frame every time โ€ข PDF reports โ€” export a branded inspection report with findings, photos and measurements โ€ข Built for everyone โ€” household, rental, facility, automotive and field-inspection profiles โ€ข Phone-only Toolbox (beta) โ€” a stud & wire finder, tap-sounding for hollow spots, a moisture check, a leak listener, a vibration check and a condensation advisor. Your phone is the sensor โ€” no gadgets to buy. Free to scan. SurfaceIQ Pro unlocks unlimited saved scans, baseline compare, PDF export, cloud sync and an ad-free experience โ€” starting with a 7-day free trial, then billed monthly unless cancelled. Device compatibility โ€” the honest version: โ€ข Visual scanning (cracks, stains, discoloration, wear) works on any recent iPhone with a camera. โ€ข Real-world depth and size measurement needs a LiDAR sensor โ€” iPhone 12 Pro / Pro Max and later Pro models, and iPad Pro with LiDAR. Example: measuring a dent as "12 x 8 cm, 3 mm deep" only works on those devices. โ€ข Thermal, UV, VOC (gas) and moisture scan modes are being rebuilt to work with your phone's own sensors โ€” no external accessories, ever. They're not active in the main scan yet, but early phone-only beta tools (moisture check, leak listener and more) are in the Toolbox today. If a mode isn't available on your device, SurfaceIQ shows it greyed out and tells you exactly what it needs โ€” no surprises, and nothing you paid for is wasted. All image analysis runs on-device, so your photos stay private. Terms: https://softflourish.com/surfaceiq/terms Privacy Policy: https://softflourish.com/surfaceiq/privacypolicy
