SpectraScope
A kaleidoscope of real glass
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Real ray-traced glass between two mirrors. Twist, tilt and shake it, stir the glass with your finger, or watch it glow on a dark field.
SpectraScope is a kaleidoscope made of real glass. Every piece of coloured glass is ray-traced as it tumbles between the mirrors, so light bends, splits into colour and glows through it the way it does in a brass kaleidoscope.
TURN IT LIKE THE REAL THING
• Twist with two fingers to turn the tube, or turn the phone itself.
• Shake firmly and the glass tumbles into a new view.
• Soft glass chimes ring as the pieces touch. Turn them off any time.
REACH IN AND STIR
• Drag on the kaleidoscope to stir the glass under your finger.
• Open the desk view to move pieces around the tray.
LOOK THROUGH IT AT THE WORLD
• The camera view turns what's around you into the view through the mirrors. Frames stay on your phone: nothing is recorded, saved or sent.
A LAMP AND A CLOCK
• Stand your phone up and SpectraScope becomes a slowly turning lamp with a clock.
CLEAR, QUIET CONTROLS
• Controls in Apple's Liquid Glass stay out of the way until you need them.
• A built-in guard watches every frame for flashes and fast flicker and softens them. It respects Reduce Motion.
SPECTRASCOPE PRO: ONE PURCHASE, YOURS TO KEEP
• Glass Studio: your own palettes, four shape sets, and ten backlights, including dark backgrounds where the glass glows.
• Cut, break and erase glass.
• Three-mirror fields at 60°, 45° and 30°.
• Unlimited gallery, and share your designs as pattern codes.
• A lamp that changes to a new kaleidoscope every few minutes.
No ads. No account. No tracking.
The lamp clock now always fits on one line.
