SlashScan vs MuxPod
Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both apps, side by side — with what reviewers say about each.
SlashScan
This app uses LiDAR on compatible iPads to scan and estimate the volume of forest slash piles in real-time. It generates 3D models and allows for offline processing, making it ideal for forestry operations and research in remote areas.
- Real-time 3D scanning with LiDAR
- Automated 3D mesh reconstruction
- Accurate volume estimation
- Integrated mapping with GNSS tagging
- Offline processing capability
- Forest biomass inventory

SlashScan is an iOS application for real-time estimation and mapping of forest slash-pile volumes using the built-in LiDAR sensor of iPad Pro devices. Developed through research at Oregon State University’s College of Forestry, SlashScan provides an accurate, portable, and field-ready solution for forestry operations, biomass inventory, and research applications. ■ Key Features Real-time 3D Scanning: Capture detailed point clouds of slash piles using the iPad’s LiDAR sensor. Automated Mesh Reconstruction: Generate precise 3D models optimized for irregular pile geometries. Accurate Volume Estimation: Instantly compute pile volume and export results for analysis or reporting. Integrated Mapping: GNSS tagging and satellite map view allow users to visualize and manage multiple pile locations. Offline Capability: All processing—scanning, reconstruction, and volume computation—occurs locally, enabling use in remote forest sites without internet access. ■ Applications SlashScan supports operational and research applications such as: Forest biomass and slash-pile inventory Post-harvest residue and fuel-load management Validation of UAV-LiDAR and photogrammetric surveys Educational demonstrations in forest engineering and remote sensing ■ Supported Devices SlashScan requires a LiDAR-equipped iOS device. Fully Supported Models: iPhone 12-17 Pro iPhone 12-17 Pro Max iPad Pro 13-inch (M4) iPad Pro 12.9-inch (5th & 6th Gen, M1/M2) iPad Pro 11-inch (3rd & 4th Gen, M1/M2)
MuxPod

MuxPod puts your tmux sessions in your pocket. Connect straight to your server over SSH and attach to any session, window or pane. There is no agent to install, no daemon to keep running and no third-party cloud in the middle. If the machine already has sshd and tmux, you are ready to go. BUILT FOR TMUX • Browse every session, window and pane from one list • Switch panes and windows by tapping, not by typing a prefix key • Create, rename and kill sessions and windows • Split panes horizontally or vertically • Resize a window or pane to fit your screen, or let auto-fit choose the font size for you • Deep scrollback with Page Up and Page Down A REAL TERMINAL • Full ANSI color, so vim, htop, lazygit and friends look the way they should • A key row with ESC, TAB, CTRL, ALT, SHIFT and arrows, plus an overlay that shows what you pressed • Multi-line paste that arrives intact • Tuned to stay responsive on slow, high-latency links NEVER LOSE YOUR PLACE • Recent sessions on the dashboard — one tap to get back to what you were doing • MuxPod remembers the last window and pane for each session • The Alerts tab surfaces panes that tmux flagged for bell, activity or silence KEYS AND PASSWORDS, HANDLED • Generate Ed25519 or RSA keys on device, or import ones you already have • Keys, passphrases and passwords are stored in the iOS Keychain • Optional Face ID or Touch ID before a key is used MORE • Browse the remote filesystem: navigate, sort, rename, delete and create folders • Send a photo from your library or camera straight to the server • muxpod:// deep links to jump into a specific session from any app • Light and dark themes, and a terminal font you can tune to your eyes WHAT YOU NEED A machine you can reach over SSH with tmux installed. That is the whole list.

Verdict
The clearest difference is iOS requirement: MuxPod at 13.0 against SlashScan's 16.6. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
