Show HN: I Turned My iPhone into a Night-Vision Device

The idea for the Night Vision App began with a simple moment of curiosity. When I first got my iPhone 14 Pro Max, I noticed a small, unfamiliar dot beneath the rear camera — the LiDAR sensor. It made me wonder: could this be used to see in the dark? If LiDAR can map a scene, why not try turning that data into real night-vision imaging?

That question sparked the creation of the Night Vision App. By combining the iPhone’s LiDAR scanner with the TrueDepth camera, it delivers detailed low-light imaging and transforms your phone into a capable night-vision tool.

If you own an iPhone Pro model, it’s definitely worth trying.
