About

Blind Radar

Features
Read full description

Blind Radar turns your iPhone into a sixth sense. Point it where you're walking, and it warns you about walls, furniture, people, and trip hazards before you reach them, exactly like a car parking sensor: gentle ticks and haptic taps that speed up as you get closer, and a clear alarm when something is right in front of you. Three big buttons. That's the whole app. WALKING Your path, guarded. Blind Radar watches a narrow beam straight ahead of your iPhone, like a flashlight, and speaks the parking-sensor language every driver already knows. Slow ticks far away, rapid ticks up close, a continuous alarm at arm's length. Every tick comes with a matching haptic tap, so it works with the sound off, in your pocket-height grip, in a loud street. DESCRIBE Tap once and hear what's in front of you in plain, everyday words, "There's a door ahead with a kitchen inside, a table in the middle." Keep it on, point somewhere new, and it describes again. No jargon, no opinions, just what's there and where it is. READ TEXT Point at any sign, letter, menu, or label and Blind Radar reads it aloud, automatically detecting the language and speaking it with the right voice. Hands-free: it keeps reading new text as you pan, and never repeats itself. BUILT FOR REAL LIFE Swipe anywhere to switch modes, every mode announces itself aloud True 3D sound with AirPods: alerts come from the obstacle's direction Works on every modern iPhone; LiDAR models get extended range Fully compatible with VoiceOver Feel it before you buy it: the interactive demo plays every alert level during setup COMPLETELY PRIVATE Everything happens on your iPhone. No video is recorded, stored, or sent anywhere. No account. No internet required, Blind Radar works in a basement, on a trail, or on a plane. Your world, sensed.
