GNibox Scanner (iOS App)

GNibox Scanner captures rooms in 3D using Apple's RoomPlan technology and exports signed .gniscan files for use in GNibox Platform. Scans are saved on your device until you choose to share them.

Device Requirements

  • iPhone Pro or iPad Pro with a LiDAR sensor
  • iOS 17 or later
  • Camera permission enabled for the app

How to scan and share a room

  1. Open GNibox Scanner and tap Scan a Room.
  2. Follow the on-screen RoomPlan guidance to capture the room.
  3. When finished, the scan is saved locally in Recent Scans.
  4. Tap a scan to preview the 3D model, then tap Share to export a .gniscan file.
  5. Send the file via AirDrop, email, Files, or any app in the iOS share sheet.
  6. Import the .gniscan file into GNibox Platform to start designing.

Why does the app say "Device not supported"?

Room scanning requires a LiDAR-equipped iPhone Pro or iPad Pro. Non-LiDAR devices can still open the app, but scanning is not available. You can view and share previously saved scans if you have them on the device.

Where are my scans stored?

Scans are stored locally on your device in the app's private storage. They are not uploaded to GNi servers automatically. Delete individual scans from the Recent Scans list, or remove all app data by uninstalling the app.

How do I delete a scan?

Swipe left on a scan in the Recent Scans list and tap delete. Uninstalling GNibox Scanner removes all locally stored scans unless you have exported copies elsewhere.

What is a .gniscan file?

A .gniscan file is a signed export bundle containing the 3D room model, room measurements, and optional wall photos. It is designed for import into GNibox Platform and compatible GNi tools.

Does the app collect my personal data?

No account is required, and the app does not upload scans to GNi. See our Scanner App Privacy Policy for full details.
