Design perfectly shaped trees, plan a virtual garden, and measure real trees with precision — right from your iPhone. Arborly blends simple on-screen guides with powerful AR tools, so anyone can prune, prototype, and play with topiary shapes in minutes. Create. Trim. Measure. Repeat. WHAT YOU CAN DO - 2D Trim Guides — Align a live camera overlay to classic shapes (circle, heart, hexagon, dome, and more), with inside/outside shading and dashed contours for clean, confident cuts. - 3D Topiary Forms (AR) — Place realistic 3D shapes in your space, adjust position, height, and scale with step-by-step controls, and preview the look before trimming. - Virtual Garden / Forest — Tap + to add multiple AR trees, mix shapes and sizes, position them in your yard, and take photos — without disturbing a leaf. - Tree Height & Diameter — Place a base, grow a vertical pole to your tree’s top, add a diameter cylinder, and read accurate measurements in meters or feet. - Smart Onboarding — A playful, animated tree shows how trimming works and how guides keep shapes precise. - One‑Tap Calibration — Helpful AR tuning prompts ensure reliable tracking before you start. - Photo Capture — Save snapshots of your virtual designs and before/after trims. WHY YOU’LL LOVE IT - Simple, guided steps keep you focused (Placement → Position → Height → Scaling → Trimming) - Clean visuals: crisp dashed contours, natural materials, and readable labels - Thoughtful details: aspect lock, precise scaling, unit switching (m/ft), and persistent AR objects in your garden HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick a 2D or 3D shape. 2. Follow the on-screen steps to align, size, and preview. 3. Use the guide to prune along the line — your cuts will look neat and intentional. 4.
