A map of your home that knows where everything is.

Scan a room with your iPhone Pro. Ask where anything is, down to what's inside each drawer, and be walked to it. Share the map with your family.

How it works

1. Scan a room. Walk slowly around it, about a minute. The phone measures the walls, doors and furniture, spots everyday things as you go, and Claude names everything in the best photos. Open a drawer or a closet and tap Look inside: every spoon and shirt in it is listed too, pinned where it lies. Say what things are called at home ("Mom's chair") and the map keeps your word for it.
2. Ask where anything is. Say it or pick it from the list: "Where are my keys?" You hear the answer at once, down to which drawer, and on the phone's screen or the computer's floor plan.
3. Be walked to it. Turn-by-turn directions around the furniture and through doorways, a warning before anything in the way, and in the last half meter your hand is guided to the thing itself.
4. Keep it current. Each room opens as a floor plan and in 3D in the editor on a computer, where the family renames things, adds notes, fixes the plan and shares rooms. When a shelf changes, scan that spot again instead of the whole room. When something can't be found, the family hears about it.

Who it's for

• If you're blind or have low vision. Everything works by voice and with VoiceOver: ask, hear where, be guided there, read a label. Whereabouts was built with blind users first, and that's still where it's deepest.
• If you look after someone who forgets. One person keeps the rooms scanned and the names right; the other just asks. The family hears when something isn't where the map says, and a month-old map gets a reminder.
• If you lose things. Keys, passport, the good scissors, the charger that lives in a drawer: ask, and hear which drawer. The map doesn't forget where you put things, even when you do.
• If you're organizing or moving in. Scan once, tidy, scan the spot again. Every room's contents, searchable, with photos, on your phone and your computer.

In English and Arabic, screens, directions and voice commands alike.

What it costs

The app is free, and so is your first room (about a minute of mapping). After that, mapping with Claude naming what it sees is paid for by the minute: buy minutes in the app as you need them ($10 each; they never expire). Claude finding things and reading labels in Find needs Whereabouts Plus, a subscription that one person's family shares ($9.99 a month, or $79 a year). Finding your way with the maps you have is always free.

Good to know

• Guidance works alongside a white cane or a guide dog, not instead of them. It warns about what the camera sees, and it can miss things.
• Your rooms and photos are yours: the privacy policy says exactly what's kept and who handles it, and how to delete it all from inside the app. A photo with a person in it is never kept.
