MagicRoom

Scan a room in a minute. See the sun through its windows.

What it does

Walk a room with your LiDAR iPhone and get an interactive 3D model plus a centimetre-accurate floor plan from the same scan. Every scan captures true north, so you can scrub real sunlight through your actual windows across the day and the seasons — handy at a flat viewing. Tap to measure, view in AR at full scale, export USDZ/PDF/JSON, merge rooms into a home. Everything runs on-device: no account, no upload, no analytics SDK. Free.

Scan any room with your iPhone in about a minute. Get a measured 3D model and a centimeter-accurate floor plan — processed entirely on your device. No account, no uploads.

Walk a room with your iPhone and get both: an interactive 3D model and a floor plan dimensioned to the centimeter. Same scan, flip between them like tabs. Private by design — your scans are processed on your iPhone and never uploaded or shared with anyone. No account, no tracking. Point your iPhone and walk. Walls, doors, windows, and furniture are recognized as you move — then assembled into a clean 3D model. Floor plans come dimensioned, wall by wall. Tap any two points to measure a gap — then find furniture sized to fit it. Every scan knows true north. Scrub through the day and seasons to see exactly how the sun moves through your rooms. Real capture footage goes here — the live…from getmagicroom.com

  • Hi HN, I built Eigendrum, a web tool that solves the 2D wave equation for arbitrary shapes so you can hear what they sound like as drums. How it works: * Solves -∇²u = λu using finite element analysis (Kφ = λMφ) on a triangle mesh. * Validated to <0.1% error against closed-form solutions for circles (Bessel zeros) and rectangles. * Sound model factors in strike location, Rayleigh damping, and mallet width. * Includes Kac drums I & II to demonstrate identical sound spectra from different geometries. * No frameworks, build steps, or dependencies. Repo and tests:…

  • I made OwnTime to balance between competing priorities in my life. The idea is based on two main influences: the concept of "roles" from "The 5 Choices" (2015), and my repeated failure to effectively implement time blocking due to the necessary flexibility in my role. The app allows you to define time budgets, which are not much more than a few mutually exclusive countdown timers. The UX is essentially that of a chess clock for an arbitrary number of players with configurable time. The whole point of the app is to kick you out of the running role&#x2F;priority when its time is up. One…
