Vacuum with your iPhone in hand. Sweep follows your vacuum's floor head, paints every strip you cover onto the floor in augmented reality, and adds up the area. Finish, and you get a map of what you actually cleaned.
From the launch thread on X. Tap a card to read it there.
That is actually a genius use case for AR. Definitely beats the usual manual struggle of trying to figure out which spots you missed.
Vacuuming finally got a minimap
Clever actually. Your vacuum just needs a phone holder
This is an oddly specific thing to make… It's good, though. Good job.
Super cool idea
shipping on day 1 is the real move. congrats
Aim, tap Capture, fit the box. Sweep remembers your vacuum head for every future session.
Hold the phone so the head stays in view about a metre ahead. The floor turns green behind it.
Finish to get a top-down coverage map and the estimated area in square metres.


Daily missions, streaks and levels for the rooms you actually cover.
Swap the green for any colour, or match it to the room.
A picture hides under the floor. Every strip you vacuum reveals a bit more.
iPhones with LiDAR: iPhone 12 Pro and every later Pro model. The LiDAR sensor is what lets Sweep place the trail on your floor accurately.
Stick vacuums with a wide floor head. Heads with a floor light are found fastest, but any head works after the one-time setup.
No. Everything is processed on the phone. Sweep stores only a small appearance reference of the head and your coverage maps.
No camera frames, depth data or room geometry ever leave the device. There is no upload path in the app.
Only the coverage map: a list of the floor cells you covered, the area and the time. It stays in History on your phone, encrypted, and is gone when you delete the app.
No. The camera is the only permission Sweep asks for.
Clip your iPhone to the wand, set up your floor head once, and watch the floor turn green behind you.
