Scantic turns your iPhone into a 3D scanner. Walk around a room or an object and get a scan you can step inside. Computed entirely on your iPhone, nothing is uploaded. Built in the EU, sharing end-to-end encrypted, Servers in Germany
Scantic started as a stupid summer project. I wanted to train a Gaussian Splat on my MacBook for the first time and the run took 3.5 hours using the usual apps. The laptop got so hot that I ended up balancing it on a Ziploc bag filled with cold water.
That sent me down a rabbit hole: huw much faster could I make the whole pipeline if I really questioned every part of it?
A few weeks later, the same kind of processing was running directly on my iPhone without LiDAR, no cloud, and the 3D Scan finished processing in less than a minute!
At some point I realized this was becoming more than an experiment, so I turned it into a product: Scantic.
The app is free for now. I mainly want people to try it, scan stuff, and tell me what they think.
