*** NEW! Long-press the snapshot button to save your creation as a 3D file (USDZ). This app allows you to accent your creativity with 3D text. You can wish someone a happy birthday, happy anniversary, congratulations, or add flare to any event or creative project. When you enter text in the text field, it is converted into a 3D object which you can manipulate around into any orientation. Not just letters and numbers, but any of the vast range of characters (glyphs) - you have millions of characters and shapes to choose from - make a photo frame from a rectangle character and pick your photo to put in it! The 3D text has 3 primary facets (unique faces) - the face surface, which is the normal face you see whenever you look at 2D text on the screen or in print; the extrusion surface, which make up the sides of the face as it is extruded into 3-dimensions, much like toothpaste squeezing out of it’s tube; and the chamfered edge, which is the corners where the face and it’s extrusion connect. The chamfered edge is also loosely known as a beveled edge, edge, rim, corner, lip, and by a few more terms. The face and chamfer facets are also mirrored on the back side of the 3D text. Each of the facets can be colored with any color, or mapped with a texture/shader (an image). You can select any color imaginable, and this app also allows for the colors to have opacity (transparency) for other advanced uses. You can also ‘color’ the facets with an image from the Photos app. Much like a blanket, an image is wrapped against the 3D facets where every 3D point adopts a 2D pixel from your image. The background can also be colored or textured. There are nearly unlimited uses for 3D text in the world of graphic design, movies/entertainment, marketing, signage, advertisements, … the list goes on. The app tries to simplify the complex processes and calculations involved by handling the math behind the art. Fonts are notoriously complex and extremely intricate - things don’t always work well together in this field, but the app does it best to allow you to do so much with only a few clicks, taps, or swipes. While this area of graphics has uncountable commercial applications, the intent here is to allow you to create beautiful, unique, and personal greetings for your friends and loved ones. You can always snap a screenshot to Photos as usual, but the app also has a built-in snapshot button to only capture the 3D view (without having to later crop out all the controls, etc.). You can also save the 3D objects you create as a 3D file (USDZ) to view|share later. The USDZ object file can also be opened|imported-into many other 3D programs. Pricing: it was decided to make the app available at the lowest conventional base price, rather than wear you down with a subscription, or drive you mad with advertisements or in-app upgrade purchases. Surely you have this little under your car seats. Pay a few pennies once… use and enjoy it everyday after. AND, it will also available for you on your iPhone, iPad, Vision Pro, and your Mac. Give it a try, and in a short time, you will be creating very unique works of art to enjoy and share. Please enjoy! Developer Note: This app was coded using the SceneKit API Framework exclusively, with special thanks and appreciation to all who have contributed, and will contribute, to the development of SceneKit.

What you want to create is already in your head. You can see the part that needs fixing. You know exactly what you want changed. And yet the work stops because you have to explain to AI what “here” means. Crop the image. Save it. Find where it was saved. Wait for iCloud. Move the file into a folder. Drag it into the conversation. Then turn something obvious at a glance into words: “A little lower and to the left” “Not the button—the empty space beneath it” And the result is still: “Not there.” Explain it again. Wait again. Check again. You wanted AI to help you move faster, but tiny tasks required just to point at one place keep breaking your train of thought. You are not only losing a few seconds. You are losing focus. Creative momentum. The next idea that was in your head a moment ago. The feeling that you are actually making progress. What you really want is not to manage image files or write a perfect description of a location. You want to turn an idea into something real before the excitement fades. You want to keep creating without stopping. You want to end the day with something made, not a pile of explanations. Herebit removes the unnecessary image work that still stands between you and AI. Choose an image. Tap the place you want to point out. That is it. Then simply say: “Fix this here” “Remove this” “Make this space wider” No cropping. No searching for the saved file. No moving files between folders. No long explanation of where something is. You no longer have to be AI’s image assistant. You no longer have to search for the perfect wording. You no longer have to repeat “not there” again and again. You do not want a better explanation. You want to be understood the first time. You want to keep moving without interrupting your train of thought. You want to turn what is in your head into reality, one idea after another. Herebit does more than give back the seconds lost managing images. It gives back your focus and creative speed. Key features • Choose an image and tap the exact place • Show AI visually where a change is needed • Share the marked image immediately • No complicated editing tools • Fewer explanations, mistakes, and repeated attempts Herebit is for you if you: • Build apps or websites with AI • Frequently revise specific parts of AI-generated images • Need to point out a button, text, or empty space quickly • Are tired of describing places that have no name • Do not want tiny tasks to break your focus • Want to turn ideas into reality without stopping Do not cast a spell. Point. Do not spend your time explaining. Make what you want to make.
