# Curvinha Review iPhone app that scans your room with LiDAR, builds a 3D floor plan, and delivers a furniture shopping list from real Brazilian stores, ## Editor's Score: 70/100 Capability scores 19 because the LiDAR-to-shoppable-list pipeline is genuinely differentiated, but the tool is limited to a single country's retail catalog and a single platform, which caps its ceiling against broader design tools. Ease of use scores 20 because the flow is linear and purpose-built, with no sign-up required for the first room and voice-guided scanning. Value scores 19 because R$79.90 per room is a compelling price against the R$2,000-plus a human architect charges for the same scope, and the Vida lifetime plan at R$350 for 20 rooms is objectively cheap. Delivery scores 12 because there is almost no independent user sentiment to verify the app's claims, the social presence could not be confirmed at all, and the iOS 26 requirement flagged in the source text raises an unresolved question about device compatibility that the human editor must check before this publishes. ## Pros - Per-room pricing starts at R$79.90 for a single room, a fraction of the R$2,000-plus that a human architect typically charges for the same scope. - LiDAR-based room measurement produces a dimensioned floor plan and 3D model in two to five minutes, grounding furniture suggestions in actual spatial constraints rather than guesswork. - Every furniture suggestion links directly to a live product listing with a current price, making the output immediately actionable rather than purely inspirational. ## Cons - The entire store catalog is Brazilian, so the app is functionally useless for anyone outside Brazil, a hard geographic ceiling with no workaround. - LiDAR scanning requires an iPhone Pro or Pro Max (model 12 or later) or an iPad Pro from 2020 onward running iOS 26; users on older or non-Pro iPhones must rely on the floor-plan upload path, which removes the app's most distinctive feature. - There is no Android version and no web interface, so the tool is inaccessible to the majority of the global smartphone market. ## Pricing Freemium. A free tier is available. - Free (first room): Free - Single Room: R$79.90 - Casa: R$130/year - Vida: R$350 one-time Pricing reflects what we saw at the time of review (2026-10).

Directory: https://aitoolseekers.com This review: https://aitoolseekers.com/tools/curvinha Methodology: https://aitoolseekers.com/how-verification-works ## Verdict Curvinha is the right pick for Brazilian homeowners who want a real furniture proposal, not just mood-board inspiration, and who own an iPhone Pro. The per-room pricing model is honest and cheap compared to hiring an architect, but the app is iOS-only and the store catalog is entirely Brazilian, so anyone outside Brazil or on Android has no path in. If you need a general-purpose design tool or work outside Brazil, look elsewhere. Best for: Brazilian iPhone Pro owners furnishing a room on a defined budget Not for: Android users, anyone outside Brazil, or teams needing a collaborative design workflow ## Overview Curvinha is a Brazilian iPhone and iPad app built around one specific job: pick the right furniture for a real room, from real stores, within a real budget. It was created by developer Gabriel Taveira and architect Ana Julia Moretto of Curva Interiores, and the curation logic reflects that studio's design sensibility rather than a generic AI style engine. The core flow starts with measurement. On an iPhone Pro or Pro Max (model 12 or later) or a compatible iPad Pro, the app uses the device's LiDAR scanner to map the room in two to five minutes, then generates a dimensioned floor plan and a rotatable 3D view. Users without a LiDAR-capable device can upload a photo or PDF of a builder's floor plan instead, and the app reads the printed measurements to build the same model. From there, the app asks about style preferences, what furniture the user is keeping, and a budget ceiling. The proposal that comes back names each piece with a plain-language reason for the choice, the store it comes from (retailers like MadeiraMadeira, Tok&Stok, and Mercado Livre appear in the examples), the current price, and a direct link. Users can swap any piece and the app checks whether the replacement fits the space and budget. A shopping list tracks all chosen pieces and sends price-drop alerts. What separates Curvinha from generic AI room-redesign apps is the combination of actual spatial measurement and shoppable, in-stock products. Most competitors in this category generate rendered images of hypothetical rooms; Curvinha produces a purchase list you can act on the same day. The tradeoff is a hard dependency on the Brazilian retail market and Apple hardware. ## Who should use it Curvinha is built for Brazilian homeowners or renters who are about to furnish or refurnish a room and want a concrete shopping list rather than a Pinterest board. The sweet spot is someone with an iPhone Pro 12 or later who has a defined budget, a style preference they can articulate, and no interest in hiring a full interior design studio. The per-room pricing makes it practical for a one-off project: pay R$79.90 for a single room, get a proposal, buy what you want. Anyone outside Brazil should skip it entirely. The store catalog is Brazilian, the prices are in reais, and there is no indication of international retail integrations. Android users have no access at all. If you want a general-purpose AI design tool that works across platforms and geographies, Canva's AI-assisted design features cover a much broader creative surface, though without the room-scanning and shoppable-furniture angle. ## FAQ Q: Does Curvinha work on Android? A: No. Curvinha is an iOS-only app. There is no Android version and no web interface. Q: Which iPhones support the LiDAR room scan? A: LiDAR scanning requires an iPhone Pro or Pro Max starting from the iPhone 12 Pro, or an iPad Pro from 2020 onward, running iOS 26 or newer. Older and non-Pro iPhones can still use the app by uploading a photo or PDF of a floor plan. Q: How much does a full room proposal cost? A: A single room costs R$79.90 as a one-time purchase. The Casa annual plan covers 5 rooms per year for R$130, and the Vida lifetime plan covers 20 rooms for R$350. The first room is free, giving you the scan, 3D model, and one furniture suggestion. Q: Can I use Curvinha if I live outside Brazil? A: The app's furniture catalog is drawn entirely from Brazilian retailers such as MadeiraMadeira, Tok&Stok, and Mercado Livre. There is no international store integration, making it impractical for users outside Brazil. Q: What happens if I do not like a suggested piece? A: You can swap any piece. The app checks whether the replacement fits the measured space and stays within your stated budget before presenting it as an alternative. Q: Do I need to create an account to try it? A: The first room is free and requires no sign-up, according to the app's own description.
