Everything you need to know before you start projecting.

Any projector works. All you need is a projector with an HDMI input and a Lightning or USB-C to HDMI adapter for your iPhone. Mini projectors, home theater projectors, office projectors. If it has an HDMI port it works with HappyMapper. For the best results we recommend a minimum of 3000 lumens, especially if your room isn't completely dark.
Yes, a projector is required to see your mapping on a physical surface. You can still build and design mappings in the app without one, but the magic happens when you connect to a projector. Decent mini projectors start around $80 on Amazon.
Everything. One fully unlocked shape with access to all features including media search, curves, cutout mode, export, blend, and save and load mappings. No time limit, no credit card required. The only limitation is one shape at a time.
Unlimited shapes. That's it. Every single feature in the app is free. The only thing Premium unlocks is the ability to add more than one shape to your canvas. Map entire rooms, layer multiple surfaces, build complex installations.
HappyMapper has built-in search powered by Pexels, Pixabay and Giphy giving you access to millions of free videos and GIFs without leaving the app. You can also import from your camera roll or Files app. No account needed for any of it.
Cutout mode turns any shape into a dark zone that blocks all projected light. Place it over a piece of furniture, a picture frame, a plant, or anything you don't want light hitting. The projection appears to wrap around objects naturally making your installation look intentional and precise. Your couch stays dark. Your wall glows.
Yes. Save any mapping with a custom name and reload it instantly next time you plug in your projector. Your shapes, media assignments and settings are all saved. Same wall, new vibe, every weekend.
Export your entire mapping as a looping MP4 video file. Load it onto a USB stick, Fire Stick, Raspberry Pi or any media player and it plays back on your projector without needing your iPhone present. Set it up once and walk away.
Edge curves let you bend the edges of any shape into smooth arcs. Instead of straight lines between corners you get curved edges that follow arches, round objects, cylindrical surfaces and anything that isn't a flat wall. A curvature slider goes from sharp to fully round.
Yes with Premium. Add as many shapes as you need, each with its own media, position and settings. You can also blend shapes together to create seamless mapped surfaces that flow across multiple walls or objects. Layer them, reorder them, lock them in place.
Currently HappyMapper outputs via a wired HDMI connection using a Lightning or USB-C adapter. This gives you the most reliable and zero latency output. AirPlay introduces lag that makes real-time warping feel sluggish.
HappyMapper works on any iPhone running iOS 16 or later. For the best performance iPhone 12 or newer is recommended. The app is optimized for both portrait and landscape orientations.
Yes. Videos from Pexels and Pixabay are licensed under Creative Commons Zero, free for personal and commercial use. GIFs from Giphy are free for personal use. You are responsible for reviewing the license of any content you use commercially.
