Aurascope is a camera-based mobile app that lets you scan real-world objects, places, and people to see how they affect your energy. Track your daily score, grow your collection, compete with friends to stay in sync with your surroundings.
Last month I fell down a weird rabbit hole. I was playing around with a meal tracking concept — but ended up pointing the camera at everything except food.
It started as a joke. I scanned my chair, and it told me: “Looks fancy, but might be hurting you long-term.” That one hit. So I scanned my TV. My bookshelf. Even my plants... And suddenly, I started thinking bigger. I was thinking about the stuff around me: Where I live, what I touch, what I surround myself with, and what it all might say.
That moment led to Aurascope.
Aurascope is a camera-first mobile app that lets you scan people, places, and things — and gives each one an aura score out of 100.
It analyzes over 500 visual and contextual signals — from lighting and composition to mood, context, time of day, and emotional cues. There are dozens of metadata layers in every scan. (I was a photographer in a past life BTW).
It started as single-player: explore the world, scan your surroundings, build a collection, become more self-aware, and display it all on your beautiful spinning orbit. But users quickly asked for more: to view global leaderboards, compete with friends, and compare their scores — so that’s what we’re revealing now.
The beauty is, and please try this yourself, there’s no long onboarding. No account needed. You’re scanning in 5 seconds and getting value instantly. This was especially important after seeing so many apps make users jump through countless hurdles to only be presented with a paywall.
We've even heard people would love to see awards and prizes for achieving the highest score for the week or month etc., so we're looking into how to bring that to life too. I mean, who doesn't want to get paid for $aura farming?
Anyway, if you try it, we would LOVE your feedback. Let me know what you scan first — your mug, your desk, your dog, your ex’s hoodie on your desk (we’ve seen it all). This is just the beginning.
Thanks for reading!
Whoa, an app that scans vibes? 🔮📱 Finally tech that gets my ~energy~! Can’t decide if this is witchcraft or genius… either way, I’m downloading. The friend competition feature? *Chef’s kiss* 💫

Congrats on the launch! 🚀
I'm unsure if it should work with Norwegian phone numbers, even though Norway is on the list (+47).
When I selected Norway, the input field still displayed a format that we don't use in Norway.
Somehow, seemingly at random, I clicked near the number, and it took me to the next screen, which instructed me to wait for a message sent to my number with the code.
I didn't receive any code. I tried going through the same process again, and the same screen appeared, but I still didn't receive any code and couldn't proceed further.
Wow—this is such a creative spin on camera tech! The idea of visualizing the 'vibe' or energy of everyday objects is both fun and introspective. I love how it turns curiosity into self-awareness. Super cool concept—can’t wait to see where this goes!
This is such a creative twist on the idea of self-awareness and environment tracking. I love that it turns everyday surroundings into something reflective and even a little poetic. The fact that you’re scanning things like chairs and hoodies instead of food makes it feel more human and spontaneous. Also, huge props for skipping the annoying onboarding wall — getting immediate feedback makes it feel playful and addictive right away. Excited to see how $aura farming evolves!

@suryansh_tiwari2 well said. That’s exactly how we think of it.

It reminds me of those paranormal TV shows when they scanned the Ectoplasm. :D
I think that there is a group of people who would like to use it (Ghostbusters are back)

@busmark_w_nika , I had to google Ectoplasm haha. But you're not wrong. Thanks for checking it out - it means a lot.
