HouseSense

For house hunting — and the home you already have

Your homes — measured, drawn and furnished.

Scan the home with your iPhone's LiDAR — or draw it on graph paper with your finger — and get a measured floor plan, areas for contractor quotes, a room-by-room budget and a 3D model you can walk through in real sunlight. Gather all of it into one PDF you put together yourself. Everything stays in your own iCloud — no account, no server, no tracking.

Download on the App Storefor iPhone and iPad — draw or scan

One home is free. Plans for more in the app.

How it works

No surveyor, no drafting office, no waiting. The home is in your pocket before the viewing is over.

1

Scan the home — or draw it

Go room by room with your phone. HouseSense keeps track of where you are, so the rooms line up correctly relative to each other. No LiDAR? Drag the rooms out on graph paper instead and write the measurements in — the drawing ends up in the same place.

2

The drawing is ready

A measured floor plan with areas, compass orientation and a tape measure. The drawing is squared up automatically — but the numbers are always the scan's own.

3

See the light, walk it, share

A 3D model with sunlight hour by hour — and a walkthrough at eye level, where you stand in the rooms yourself. Gather plan, areas, budget and to-do list into one PDF for your contractor, or share the whole home with your partner.

New in 1.7 — Draw your home

Until now HouseSense needed a LiDAR scanner. Now you can draw the home instead — with your finger, on graph paper — and get exactly the same home out: a measured floor plan, 3D, takeoff, reports and sharing. Any iPhone or iPad can join in.

  1. Draw or scan — your choice

    The plus button on the front page now asks which way you want to go. Scanning only appears on phones that have a LiDAR scanner; drawing works on every iPhone and iPad. Two roads into the same home.

  2. Drag a rectangle — and it is a room

    The drawing board is squared paper. Drag out a rectangle and you have a room; the measurements are written in precisely afterwards. The paper reckons in whole centimetres, and every dimension is internal — wall to wall, the way you measure a room with a tape.

  3. Walls snap — and are shared

    Push a room up against its neighbour and the walls snap together into one shared wall. Two rooms therefore never count the same square metres twice — the areas keep adding up, exactly as they do on a scan.

  4. Doors and windows with the pencil

    Draw the opening straight onto the wall with the pencil, and say afterwards what the hole is. The placement can be centred, spread evenly along the wall, or set to a measurement from the corner — so the drawing shows what is actually built.

  5. Step into your own drawing

    The drawing unfolds in 3D at 1:1, with the measurements written on the walls. Walk the rooms you have just drawn at eye level and feel whether the hallway is wide enough — before a single wall is moved.

  6. Build the home

    Tap the hammer and the drawing becomes a real home in the app: area, floors, floor plan, 3D, takeoff and reports. Everything a scanned home can do, a drawn one can do too.

  7. Every drawing is a home of its own

    The drawings sit in the archive, each on its own, so you can draw several and come back to them. And they follow you in your own private iCloud, like the rest of your data — no account, no server.

Drawing needs no LiDAR — it works on every iPhone and iPad with iOS 26. Scanning still needs a LiDAR scanner, and the two live side by side in the same app.

New in 1.5 — Step inside

The home is no longer something you look at from the outside. 1.5 rebuilds the walkthrough from the ground up and has the 3D model drawn by the same engine — with real sunlight, floors, lamps and pictures on the walls.

Step inside

The walkthrough is rebuilt from the ground up: move through the home in first person at eye level, under real sunlight that follows the date and the hour — all the way to moonlight. Two joysticks, like a game; turn the phone sideways for the full view.

The whole home in 3D — under the real sun

The new 3D model is drawn by the same engine as the walkthrough: orbit the house with every floor at once, pick equinox, solstice or any date, and drag through the hours. Layers switch off one by one — ceilings, furniture, room lights, shadows, or a whole floor.

Floors with coin portals

Change floor through floating coin portals: the first floor hovers above the terrain, the basement sits in the ground. The portal places itself in the most connected room of the floor — or on the home's real staircase, once it is scanned.

Furniture, plants and lamps

The furniture catalog comes inside with you: plants, lamps with real light, and furniture that snaps to the walls and the home's own axes. Switch each lamp off on its own — or kill them all and see what the evening light can do.

Pictures on the walls

Hang the room's own photos, your own picture from the library, or drawn artwork — behind glass. The rooms start looking like a home, not a model.

Paint the wall while standing in front of it

Long-press a wall inside the walkthrough and the color lands immediately — inside, on the floor plan and in 3D. And the house now has a facade: give the exterior a surface, a color and a frame color, and see it from outside.

Windows, doors and one schedule

Glass and frames in every opening, and double doors recognized on their own. Every opening in the home is collected into one window and door schedule with the measurements from the scan — ready as PDF and CSV for quotes.

PDFs in the reader's language

Floor plan, areas, budget, report and the schedule can be written in any of 13 languages — pick the language in the report sheet and send the plan to a foreign contractor without translating a word yourself.

Daylight and wall types

See how much of each room is window — and mark walls as load-bearing or light, with a surface per side: plaster, brick or wood. The drawing sheets now follow dark mode, too.

New demonstration home

An L-shaped house of 188 m² on three levels, furnished room by room with lamps, artwork and plants — so you can try everything long before you scan your first home.

Features

Built for one thing: letting you judge a home — thoroughly, honestly and on your own data.

01 – 16
✍️

Draw or scan

No LiDAR scanner? Draw the home instead. Drag a rectangle on the graph paper and you have a room; the measurements are written in precisely afterwards and land to the centimetre — internal measurements, wall to wall, the way you measure with a tape. Walls snap to their neighbours and become one shared wall, so two rooms never count the same square metres twice. Doors and windows are drawn straight onto the wall with the pencil and placed centred, evenly spread, or on a measurement from the corner. Step into the drawing in 3D at 1:1 — and when it is right, the hammer turns it into a home with everything else in it: plan, 3D, takeoff, budget and reports.

📐

Floor plan with real measurements

Walls, doors, windows and areas — measured and ready as a PDF for the bank or your building advisor. Tape measure with snap to corners and walls, so you can take a dimension while standing in the room. The drawing is squared up automatically so it looks built, but the numbers are always the scan's own. You leave the viewing with a document you can put in front of a contractor — instead of a guess and a handful of phone photos.

📋

Areas for every quote

Tap the rooms on the plan and get floor, ceiling, wall (gross and net) and skirting areas — the exact numbers a painter, flooring or drywall contractor asks for. Net subtracts the doors and windows, so you never pay to paint a window. Export a clean PDF and choose what goes on it: room names, measurements, furniture, budget. With the numbers in hand you can ask three trades to bid on exactly the same thing — and only then can you see who is actually cheapest.

03 / 16 HouseSense
🧾

Budget, room by room

Put prices on the measured areas — per m², or by the pack with the trade's own waste allowance added on top. Link one floor across several rooms so it counts as one purchase, not five. Mark what's bought and what's still missing as the work moves along. Export the whole home room by room, or everything combined into one shopping list you can take to the builders' merchant. So you know what the renovation costs before you bid on the house.

✅

To-do list, room by room

The small jobs you spot as you walk around — “paint the ceiling”, “new skirting”, “check the seal behind the toilet”. They attach to the room they belong to, so they don't drown in one long list. Tick them off as you work and watch the progress draw itself straight onto the floor plan, room by room. The whole home's list can be shared as a PDF — for yourself, for your contractor, or for whoever takes over the job after you.

05 / 16 HouseSense
📄

The whole home in one PDF

Pick the rooms, pick the contents — plan, measurements, budget and to-do list — and save it as one combined document. Your contractor gets only what the quote calls for; the bank gets the drawing with measurements. You skip stitching five exports together by hand, and the recipient skips hunting for the right attachment. One document, one version — and you decide what goes in it.

☀️

3D with sunlight

The model is built from the drawing, so there is no second scan. Turn on the sun, drag through time, and watch the light move through the rooms, hour by hour, on any date. June 21st and December 21st are the two that settle it: one shows how bright it gets, the other how dark. You can see whether the living room loses the sun behind next door's gable at three o'clock — before you sign.

07 / 16 HouseSense
🚶

Walk it at eye level

Step into the model and walk the home at 170 cm eye height with two joysticks. Sunlight falls through the real windows, and the ceilings close overhead — flat, or sloped up to the ridge where the house has gables. A compass sits up top, so you always know which way you are facing. This is where you notice the hallway is too narrow, or the kitchen faces the wrong way — and you can take the walk again from your own sofa.

🌗

Light profile per room

How many hours of sun each room gets today — and month by month across the whole year, as twelve bars. Read from the home's real windows, their size and the house's place on the compass, never guessed. You see the difference between a room that is lovely in July and dark in January, and one that holds up all year. That is what decides where the office goes — and what is worth paying extra for.

Elevations and wall colour

Hold a wall and it unfolds as an elevation: the wall head-on with its openings, sill heights and areas. It is exactly the drawing you need when the kitchen has to be planned, or the shelving has to fit between two windows. Paint each side from the palette — the colour carries over into both the 3D model and web sharing. You can try five colours in five minutes without opening a tin of paint.

⚖️

Compare homes

Put two or three homes side by side at the same scale — so you see straight away that the “big” kitchen is actually smaller than the one you have. Key figures and a sun score read straight from the glass facing south and west, patio doors included. After three viewings on a Saturday the houses blur together in memory; here they sit as numbers you can hold up against each other. See which one actually holds up.

📦

Move in with your own furniture

Scan the home you live in now and see your own furniture standing in the one you are viewing. Rooms are recognised from the furniture, and each piece is placed by sensible rules — bed to the wall, dining set centred, nothing blocking a window above sill height. So you know whether the sofa can even get round the corner before the removal van pulls up outside. Or scan the sofa in the store and try it on the plan first.

🧭

Surroundings

Place the home on the map and the neighbourhood finds itself: roads coloured by traffic class, railways, green space, water, neighbours and the nearest shop, school, EV charger and bus stop — plus terrain. The app then points out the quietest room, the one with the most road noise, the best morning and evening sun, and the most overlooked. All calculated from distances and compass bearings, not guessed. It is the kind of thing a viewing on a quiet Sunday morning will never reveal.

13 / 16 HouseSense
✏️

Fix the scan

Remove a wall that isn't there, add the door the scanner missed, or straighten a crooked wall. The magic wand squares up the crooked lines in one go. Everything can be undone, and the raw scan is never touched — you can always get back to what the phone actually saw. That means you dare to correct the drawing without being afraid of ruining it.

✨

Furnish with external AI

HouseSense packages the room's true dimensions, compass orientation and your wishes into a finished, technical prompt. You copy it into ChatGPT or Copilot yourself — the app never sends anything on its own. The suggestions are therefore built on the room's real width and ceiling height, not on a mood board from the internet. The answers are gathered into a report you can take with you when you go shopping.

🔒

Private by design

No account, no server, no tracking. Your scans live in your own iCloud, and sharing happens directly between your Apple accounts. There is no copy at our end that could be leaked, sold or shut down — because there is no copy. Delete the app and your iCloud data, and the home is gone. That is the whole business model: you pay for a tool, not with your data.

Questions

Can I draw the home instead of scanning it?

Yes — since 1.7. Drag rectangles on graph paper and write the measurements in; the paper reckons in whole centimetres, and every dimension is internal, wall to wall. Walls snap to their neighbours and become one shared wall, so the areas add up. Then tap the hammer, and the drawing becomes a real home in the app with floor plan, 3D, takeoff and reports. Drawing needs no LiDAR scanner.

Which devices does HouseSense work on?

Drawing works on every iPhone and iPad running iOS 26. Scanning needs a LiDAR scanner — that means iPhone 12 Pro or newer Pro models, plus iPad Pro from 2020 onwards. Homes shared with you can be viewed without LiDAR.

Which languages does the app speak?

English, Danish, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Portuguese, Swedish, Norwegian, Polish, Czech and Ukrainian — 13 languages in all. On devices set to any other language, the app runs in English.

Where is my data?

On your device and in your own private iCloud. HouseSense has no server and cannot see your scans. Delete the app and your iCloud data, and no copy exists anywhere.

How accurate are the measurements?

LiDAR scanning is typically within ±2–3 cm. The drawing is squared up automatically so it looks built — but the numbers are always the scan's own. The drawing is tidied; the numbers never lie.

Can I share a home with someone else?

Yes — share the whole home with e.g. your partner straight from the app. Sharing runs through your own Apple accounts (iCloud), and the recipient needs neither LiDAR nor a subscription to look along.

What does a buyer see when I share with a code?

The measured floor plan, room areas and the 3D model with sunlight — in the browser, on any device, with no app and no account. The code expires by itself after 30 days, and you can follow anonymous view counts in the app. Web sharing is part of the Estate plan — and anyone can try it on the built-in demo home.

Can I get the drawing out of the app?

Yes. The floor plan exports as a PDF with measurements and areas — ready for the bank, your building advisor or a contractor — and the 3D model can be shared as a USDZ file. Your data is never locked in.

Can I get it all in one document?

Yes. Pick the rooms and pick the contents — floor plan, measurements, budget and to-do list — and save the whole home as one combined PDF. You decide what goes in, so your contractor gets only what the quote calls for.

What is the to-do list for?

For the small jobs you spot while walking around — “paint the ceiling”, “new skirting”. They sit room by room and get ticked off as you work, with the progress drawing itself straight onto the floor plan. The list can be included in the combined PDF.

Does the app work without internet?

Yes. Everything is saved on your device first, so you can scan and draw with no coverage at all — in a basement or an empty house. Once you're back online, the app syncs to your iCloud by itself.

What if I switch to a new iPhone?

Sign in on the new phone with the same Apple account and open the app — your homes come down from your iCloud on their own. Still, take a PDF export of homes you want to archive forever.

What happens if I cancel the subscription?

Nothing disappears. All your homes stay fully readable — floor plan, 3D, PDF and photos. You simply can't create more homes than the one free one, and homes beyond that become read-only.

Does the app use artificial intelligence?

Only if you ask it to — and only outside the app. HouseSense writes a finished, technical prompt that you copy into ChatGPT or the like yourself. The app never sends anything on its own.
