Listen to your documents Use system speech or optional online speech services for a document, selected text, or a document playlist. Generate a complete M4A recording in advance, save it for offline listening, or export it. Playback of a saved recording does not make another speech API request. Some online speech services require your own API key. Edit and save Edit Markdown, text, code, and standalone HTML source files with syntax highlighting, search, undo, and save-conflict checks. Local first No Rune account is required. Documents, standalone annotations, playback positions, and saved media use local storage. Supported workspace dashboards can save notes to a folder you authorize; synchronization depends on your file provider. Cloud files may need to download before opening. Browsing websites and using online speech connects to the services you choose.

About

Arxens

Read full description

Move from recording the world to understanding it. Arxens is a portable studio for visual perception and spatial capture. Without a cloud account or a complicated setup, you can see body movement, object boundaries, depth, and 3D space take shape in real time—then preserve each session as a record you can revisit, share, or carry into your next workflow. See the moment differently Capture multi-person full-body pose, identify and track objects, and reveal instance boundaries as the scene unfolds. Depth turns a flat camera image into a layered view of the environment, giving you a clearer sense of what is happening in front of the lens. Step inside the scene On a compatible LiDAR-equipped iPhone, Arxens captures imagery, depth, camera poses, and scene geometry together, then builds a browsable 3D scene on the device. A scan becomes more than a video—it becomes a space you can return to. Capture a first-person view Ego Data records video alongside selected device-depth, motion, audio, and barometer streams locally, preserving their timestamps and camera calibration. Color-coded 2D hand landmarks appear in the viewfinder and recorded-video playback. Available sensor combinations and frame rates depend on your device. Take the field with you Keep first-person, pose, object, and depth sessions on your device. Browse your history, replay results, share a session, or delete it when the work is done. Whether you are prototyping a vision workflow, studying movement, observing an environment, or preserving field context, each capture is ready for the next step. Connect to your workflow When you need the underlying sensor data, start a local-network broadcast and send selected camera, depth, motion, and other streams to a compatible desktop receiver. Arxens gives you a direct path from capture and observation to the tools you use next. Your data stays yours Core visual analysis runs on your device, and no account is required. Recordings stay on the device unless you explicitly begin a local-network broadcast or use the system share feature. Arxens requires iOS 17.0 or later. Spatial scanning and some hardware-depth capabilities require a compatible LiDAR-equipped iPhone. Feature availability varies by device.
