Archi's Torch 3D Scanner
Read full descriptionHide full description
Archi's Torch 3D Scanner turns a LiDAR-capable iPhone into a local 3D space capture tool. Start an ARKit scan, move through the room, review the captured mesh, reopen previous scans from local storage, and export Wavefront OBJ files through the iOS share sheet. Scans stay on device unless you export them. The app does not require an account, analytics service, server sync, or in-app purchase.
Mesh Mapper

Mesh Mapper helps you understand home Wi-Fi coverage the way a field survey tool would, without extra hardware. Create a survey from a floor plan photo, a blank grid, or a LiDAR RoomPlan scan. Then walk around your home and tap where you are standing to measure what your Wi-Fi actually delivers at each spot. Mesh Mapper turns those measurements into clear coverage heat maps and practical placement advice: - Score, router latency, internet latency, and throughput maps - Mesh node labels based on the Wi-Fi access point serving each sample - Multi-floor surveys with 3D house visualization - LiDAR floor plan scanning on supported devices - Placement advisor for weak spots and suggested node moves - Shareable PNG reports for comparing layouts iOS does not expose raw Wi-Fi signal strength to third-party apps, so Mesh Mapper focuses on real-world network behavior: router response time, internet latency, download throughput, and serving-node identity. That makes it useful for finding dead zones, diagnosing sticky roaming, and deciding where a mesh router or satellite should move next. Mesh Mapper stores surveys locally on your device and does not require an account.

Verdict
