LogScanner — your iPhone is now your
measuring tape.
And it's better.
LogScanner uses the LiDAR sensor built into your iPhone or iPad to scan logs and lumber with ~5mm accuracy — no tape measure, no second person, no argument about the number.
Point. Scan. Done.
No setup, no calibration targets, no extra equipment. Open the log scanner app, point your iPhone or iPad at a log, and the LiDAR sensor does the rest.
Open the app
Point your iPhone or iPad camera at the log end or lumber pile you want to measure. Works in the field, the barn, or the yard.
Scan
LiDAR builds a precise 3D model of the surface in real time. No movement required. No calibration. No guesswork.

Measurements appear instantly on screen. Save and export the scan file for records or downstream use — every feature included, no upgrade required.
Free. No subscription, no in-app purchase.
Scanning, the 3D model, photos, the boundary editor, all measurements, reports and exports are included — every feature, no upgrade required.
Everything is included. Scan, measure, and export as many logs as you like.
- Unlimited LiDAR scanning
- Real-time 3D surface model, photos, and the boundary editor
- Measurements displayed on screen
- Save, library, and reports
- Export — PDF, CSV, OBJ

Tap Optimize on any scan to turn it into a cut sequence and a board-by-board value. A separate app, own subscription — no free tier.
- Cut optimization
- Yield / board foot maximization
- Step-by-step cut sequence
- Printable cut sheet and reports
Typical on diameter, in good scanning conditions.
The same method, not a steadier hand.
A tape measure is only as accurate as the person holding it. LogScanner measures by the same method on every scan, and keeps what it measured — so the number can be checked against the scan instead of argued about.
"Buying logs is a game of inches. Knowing your number — and being able to show where it came from — is what turns a good day at the mill into a profitable one."
What you need
Live scanning requires a LiDAR scanner: iPhone 12 Pro or any later Pro iPhone, or a LiDAR-equipped iPad Pro. Saved scans, samples and reports work on any device.
