About Sonar LiDAR

IMPORTANT: This app works EXCLUSIVELY on iPhone Pro (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17) with a LiDAR sensor. Standard models without LiDAR are not supported. Sonar Lidar — feel your surroundings. Sonar Lidar turns the LiDAR sensor on your iPhone Pro (or iPad Pro) into a real-time sonar. As you point your phone ahead, it translates distance into sound and vibration, giving you instant feedback about what's around you. What it detects • Walls and obstacles in front of you • Low furniture — sofas, benches, tables • Steps and drop-offs ("cliffs") • Narrow passages and doorways How it works • Audio sonar: beeps get faster as you get closer, panning left/right toward the obstacle • Haptic feedback: feel the proximity through vibration • Posture guide: a gentle tone helps you hold the phone at the right angle • Night vision: an optional on-screen depth view • The screen stays awake while scanning Made to fit you Simple, essential controls up front — distances, sonar spread, low-obstacle and drop sensitivity — with an "Advanced Settings" section for fine-tuning. Full VoiceOver support. Important: Sonar Lidar is an experimental support tool. It does NOT replace the white cane, a guide dog, medical aids, or your own attention. Use it only in known environments and always stay alert. Requires a device with a LiDAR sensor. We strongly recommend testing the app in a safe, known environment to find the best tilt angle and sensitivity setting (adjustable in Settings) for your height and walking style.

What’s new

Version 1.9 · Updated July 6, 2026

New: gradual proximity haptic. • In the warning zone you now feel a vibration that grows stronger and faster as you get closer to an obstacle: light when it's far, firm when you're near the stop distance. Especially useful in crowded places. • New "Proximity Haptic" toggle to turn it on or off as you like, without affecting the stop, frontal-obstacle, and drop-off alerts. Thanks to everyone sending in suggestions — keep them coming!
