NightWalk transforms your iPhone into a powerful tool for exploring dark environments. Using the LiDAR sensor, the app creates real-time depth-based visuals, helping you understand the space around you—even in total darkness. Take clear photos and record videos of what the LiDAR sees, and save them right to your device. Switch between color palettes, including grayscale and enhanced contrast modes, to match your preferences or lighting conditions. Need to measure distance? Tap the Distance button to activate a center-target reticle that instantly displays how far an object is from you. This is perfect for navigating unfamiliar areas, inspecting spaces, or simply experimenting with LiDAR’s capabilities. Customize the app’s performance in the settings: Choose smoother, faster scanning, or prioritize visual quality for more detailed results. Please note: NightWalk operates within the effective LiDAR range of approximately 10 cm to 5 meters. Objects closer than 10 cm or farther than 5 meters may not be detected accurately. Whether you’re indoors, outdoors, or simply curious, NightWalk gives you a new way to experience the world around you.

NOTICE: only works with iPhone Pro models (iPhone 13 Pro or newer) Stride Red uses your iPhone's LiDAR sensor to see in the dark, even total darkness, up to 15 feet away. Red monochrome coloration protects your low-light vision. Useful for walking the dog at night, hiking, hunting or fishing without using a flashlight! Note: do not rely on Stride Red while driving, cycling, operating equipment, crossing traffic, entering hazardous areas, or doing anything that requires full attention to your surroundings.
