Sensor Recorder Pro turns your iPhone into a local, offline multi-sensor data recorder for developers, researchers, robotics, SLAM, AR, and AI workflows. Choose between two capture modes: Standard Mode Record wide, ultra-wide, telephoto, and front cameras Capture up to three RGB camera streams, depending on device capability Record LiDAR depth on supported devices Configure resolution, frame rate, exposure, and focus ARKit Mode Record RGB video with timestamp-aligned 6-DoF camera poses Capture ARKit camera intrinsics and tracking metadata Record scene depth on supported LiDAR devices Designed for trajectory visualization, 3D reconstruction, SLAM, VIO, robotics, and spatial AI research Additional sensor streams include: Accelerometer and gyroscope IMU data Magnetometer and barometer data Device motion, attitude, and gravity Core Location data Microphone audio Each recording session produces structured, timestamped files for post-processing, sensor fusion, trajectory analysis, visual-inertial experiments, computer vision, multimodal learning, and research logs. Key Features Standard multi-camera and ARKit recording modes RGB, LiDAR depth, pose, IMU, motion, location, and audio recording Configurable camera resolution, frame rate, exposure, and focus Timestamped records for multi-sensor alignment Local file export for custom processing pipelines Fully offline recording with no cloud dependency Free version supports up to two minutes per recording session One-time upgrade unlocks unlimited recording length Use Cases Robotics and spatial AI data collection AR, SLAM, and visual-inertial odometry experiments 3D reconstruction and camera trajectory analysis Camera, LiDAR, pose, and IMU synchronization Multimodal sensor logging Teaching, research, and rapid prototyping Privacy Sensor Recorder Pro does not upload recorded data to any server. All recordings remain locally on your device and are managed or exported by you.
ICIDO

ICIDO turns your iPhone's LiDAR scanner into an indoor map you can navigate — no beacons, no Wi-Fi setup, no internet. Scan a room once and ICIDO remembers its exact shape. Walk back in later and it recognizes where you are and guides you to any spot, even where GPS has no signal. HOW IT WORKS • Scan — sweep your iPhone across a room to capture its walls, floor, and furniture in 3D. • Find yourself — tap Find Me and ICIDO works out which place you're in and exactly where you're standing. • Navigate — pick a saved spot or tap the map, and a route is drawn on the real floor, steering around furniture and through doorways. FEATURES • Tag any spot — drop a waypoint ("printer", "exit", "room 204") and route straight to it. • Rooms, detected automatically — larger maps split into named rooms at the doorways. • Grow your maps — add newly scanned areas to a place, or combine two overlapping maps into one. • Buildings — stack scanned floors into a building and ICIDO follows you between them. • History — revisit where you've been with trails and heat maps. • Share — send a place as a .spacemap file; the other person can open and navigate it. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything stays on your device. No account, no sign-in, no analytics, no networking. Your scans never leave your iPhone. REQUIRES LiDAR ICIDO needs the LiDAR sensor, available on iPhone 12 Pro and later Pro models (Pro and Pro Max). It will not scan on non-Pro iPhones.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ICIDO at none against Sensor Recorder Pro's 1. ICIDO also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs every 4 weeks). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
