Walk your property.
Prove it’s ready.
Reading your device…
One walk with your iPhone or iPad captures the shutoffs, panels and equipment that decide how a bad day goes, and turns them into a record your broker can put in front of an underwriter.
Your capture path
Two ways to capture
The app checks your hardware and picks the path. Here’s what each one gives you.
3D scan with LiDAR
Room scans become a measured 3D home and floor plan. Pin equipment in 3D where it stands, then share an interactive link.
- Move slowly and keep walls, corners and doorways in view.
- Turn the lights on and open interior doors before you start.
- Mirrors and big windows confuse depth sensors, so sweep past them rather than at them.
- Big floor? Scan it in zones, then connect them.
- Check important dimensions against the real space before relying on the drawing.
Photo capture
Guided photos, 60-second videos and notes for every shutoff, panel and asset, with the same checklist and the same reports.
- You'll see “Photos and assets available” on the home card. That's your capture path.
- The checklist, shutoffs, panel photos, equipment and reports all work without a scan.
- Add drawings or a plan you already have, so photos have somewhere to live.

What to test
Try these, and tell us what broke
Names match the buttons in the app. Items marked LiDAR need an iPhone Pro or iPad Pro. Skip them otherwise.
Run the quick start
Residential → 1 Start · 2 Scan · 3 Shutoffs & panelThree steps, start to finish. Tell us where you hesitated.
Scan your home, room by room
Next room / area → Finish run → 3D homeWalk each room slowly, then check the 3D home and use Connect rooms to stitch the floor together.
Find the three main shutoffs
Shutoffs & panelMain water, gas and power. Photograph each and mark where it is. Locate and document only. Don't operate them.
Photograph the panel directory
Shutoffs & panel → Electrical panelShoot the printed breaker list. The app proposes a schedule, and you apply or reject it. Was the read right?
Add your big equipment
Add asset · Asset libraryWater heater, furnace, AC, sump pump. Add a nameplate photo and a 60-second video of anything that looks tired.
Share the result
Home report · 3D home & interactive linkExport the PDF home report and send the 3D link to someone you trust. The link can expire and be revoked.
Try the emergency guide
Emergency guideWalk through “Water near electricity” as if it were real. Is it clear enough at 2 a.m.?
Set up a building
Commercial → BuildingsAdd a site and walk the capture guides in order. The tabs are Capture, Work, Buildings, Assets and Devices.
Floor plan & emergency controls
Capture guideScan in manageable zones. A whole building doesn't need to be one scan. Then use Improve this area on anything rough.
Electrical and lighting panels
Capture guide → Electrical panels · Lighting panelsPhotograph each panel directory, review the proposed schedule, and see how fast a mechanical room goes.
HVAC & controls
Capture guide → HVAC & controlsTag equipment where it stands. With LiDAR, drop a 3D pin on the unit during the scan. Add nameplates and video.
Documents & drawings
Capture guide → Documents & drawingsImport the as-builts, O&M manuals and inspection reports you already have, so they sit beside the equipment they describe.
Hand it off
Asset report · Inventory spreadsheet · Document packageExport the asset report PDF, the CSV inventory and the ZIP package. Floor plans come out as PDF, PNG, USDZ or GLB.
Pair and connect
Meta AI app → CriticalAsset → Connect glassesPair the glasses in Meta AI, then connect from the capture screen. Approve camera access in Meta AI and check you land back on the same item.
Hands-free asset photos
Residential: asset → Use Meta glassesLook at the water heater or panel and capture. Keep or retake, then check the photo landed on the right asset.
Field evidence on a work item
Commercial → Work → item → Add evidence → Meta glassesWork through the requested views hands-free. Voice commands work while the capture screen is open.
Switch back to the phone
Phone / Meta glassesFinish one view on the phone, the next on the glasses. Both should stay on the same item after you relaunch.
Break it on purpose
Walk out of Bluetooth range mid-capture, or go offline and reconnect. Tell us what the app said.
Meta glasses · optional
Look at it.
It’s captured.
Pair Ray-Ban Meta or Oakley Meta glasses and capture photos and video with both hands free: on a ladder, behind the water heater, holding the panel door open. Every capture lands on the asset you picked, beside the ones from your phone.

- 1Install the beta from TestFlight, above.
- 2Send us the email on your Meta account. Meta enables glasses apps person by person, and it’s often a different email from your Apple ID.
- 3Accept the invite at wearables.meta.com/invites, pair the glasses in the Meta AI app, then tap Connect glasses in CriticalAsset.
Opens your email with your device filled in. Add your Meta account email and send.
For insurance brokers
Send one link.
Get back proof.
Your clients already know where things are. They’ve just never written it down. CriticalAsset turns a walk through the property into evidence you can submit: every main shutoff located and photographed, the panel documented, and the equipment on record with nameplates. No site visit, no questionnaire ping-pong.
What your client sends back
I'd like to put stronger evidence behind your renewal. CriticalAsset is an iPhone and iPad app that walks you through your property: main water, gas and power shutoffs, the electrical panel, and your major equipment, with a 3D floor plan if your device has LiDAR. When you're done, send me the report or the share link. Join the beta: https://testflight.apple.com/join/ZvhDYXWJ
The client decides what leaves the phone. Guest captures stay on the device, and share links can be revoked.
