TDLiDAR vs Forge Database Manager

TDLidar turns your iPhone into a live depth camera and 40-sensor streaming hub for TouchDesigner, OBS, Resolume and any NDI-aware tool — no capture card or tether. Tap Start NDI and it appears as a 1080p/60fps source on the network. DEPTH MODES • NDI Depth — front TrueDepth or rear LiDAR, live, with 15 colormaps, depth clipping and HD upscale. • LiDAR + Monocular (Pro) — real LiDAR sharpened by a neural network, in metres on a fixed range that never breathes. • ARKit Point Cloud (Beta · Pro) — scan people as live point-cloud silhouettes, or switch to All Surfaces and capture a whole room. Trail, echo, sculpt and gravity FX, colour by height, orientation, confidence or object type, and stream it all to TouchDesigner. • Monocular Depth (Pro) — neural depth from any RGB camera, no LiDAR needed; three model tiers at 60 fps. • Point Cloud (Pro) — live motion FX, Person Only isolation, and bit-exact XYZ+RGB into TouchDesigner POP geometry over Wi-Fi or USB. • Mesh Cloud (Pro) — scan a room into a walkable point cloud; export PLY. CONTROL & SENSORS • Show Control (free) — drive everything remotely over OSC and MIDI: 140+ parameters, mode switching, Look Presets, show blackout. • Sensors mode — ~40 on-device sensors (ARKit body/face/hands, motion, audio FFT, speech, AirPods, Watch heart rate) streamed as OSC. • Cue Deck & Align (Pro) — an OSC trigger-pad grid and a projector-warp rough-in. Everything runs on-device. No accounts, no telemetry, no analytics — data stays on your phone or LAN. REQUIREMENTS iPhone with TrueDepth or LiDAR (LiDAR modes need the scanner). iOS 18.6+. An NDI receiver on the same network. TDLidar Pro is a one-time lifetime purchase, or try everything with a 3-day pass. No subscriptions.

Stop paying for four tools. Forge opens SQL servers, cloud warehouses, NoSQL clusters, federated query engines, file dumps, and key/value stores in one native app — no Electron, no subscriptions. Built with SwiftUI for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. One purchase, every Apple device. NINETEEN DATABASE ENGINES • PostgreSQL family — Postgres, CockroachDB, TimescaleDB, Amazon Redshift • MySQL family — MySQL, MariaDB • SQLite, libSQL, Turso (remote libSQL over Hrana HTTPS) • Microsoft SQL Server, Azure SQL — pure Swift TDS, no driver • Oracle — pure Swift, no Instant Client • Snowflake — SQL API v2, key-pair JWT auth • Google BigQuery — service account JWT • Trino / Presto — federated queries • Apache Cassandra, ScyllaDB • DuckDB — embedded analytics over Parquet, CSV, JSON • Redis — browse keys by type as tables • ClickHouse — analytics via native HTTP • Elasticsearch — indexes as SQL tables THREE FILE FORMATS AS DATABASES • CSV — auto-detected separators, quoted fields, duplicate headers handled • JSON, NDJSON, JSON Lines — arrays and streaming • SQL Dump — open mysqldump or pg_dump files and browse without executing a statement DRY RESTORE — UNIQUE TO FORGE Inspect any SQL dump as if it were a live database. Browse a 400 MB backup in seconds. No risk, no server, no restore. AI BRIDGE — UNIQUE TO FORGE Run a local MCP server that exposes your databases as tools to Claude Desktop, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible assistant. List tables, inspect schemas, run queries — in plain English, on every supported engine. Read-only by default. Credentials never leave your Mac. LIVE DATA WITH DIFF HIGHLIGHT Toggle auto-refresh on any table to watch data change in real time. New rows light up green, changed cells light up yellow. Pauses automatically when you're editing. EDIT IN PLACE Double-click a cell to edit. Save many cells across rows in one transaction. Schema-aware INSERT and DELETE. Import CSV/JSON straight into a SQL table. Every SQL engine, Oracle included. QUERY EDITOR Syntax highlighting and context-aware autocomplete — keywords, table names, column names. SQL formatter and Find & Replace built in. Reusable queries with {{var}} placeholders. Snippet library: type `:name` and the template inserts. SMART DATA GRID Sort, filter, and export results as CSV, JSON, or SQL INSERT — on every engine. SCHEMA COMPARE Diff tables and columns between two connections. Catch drift before it bites in production. UNIVERSAL BACKUP Scheduled backups for every engine: SQL dump for SQL, JSON for Redis. Cron expressions, retention, gzip. Runs in the background. SSH TUNNEL Reach databases behind a bastion host. Password or private-key auth (ed25519, RSA, with passphrase). Pure Swift, no openssh dependency. PORTABLE & SECURE Export connections as a single encrypted bundle (ChaCha20-Poly1305 + PBKDF2-SHA256), import elsewhere with a passphrase. Drag a .sqlite/.csv/.json/.sql.gz file onto the sidebar to open it. Passwords in Apple Keychain. SSL/TLS for remote connections. No telemetry, no cloud dependency. SMALL & FAST Around 50 MB installed on iPhone, even smaller on Mac. Native Swift code, no Electron runtime, instant cold start. NATIVE APPLE Spotlight indexes your saved queries and connections — search them from anywhere on macOS or iOS. Run saved queries with Siri or the Shortcuts app. Keyboard shortcuts everywhere. Multi-window on Mac with shared engine cache. Twenty-two data sources. One app. Zero Electron.
