## What is Cluster?

Cluster - Find any photo from your library, instantly.
Ever spent ten minutes scrolling to find one photo? Cluster lets you find any picture just by describing it, or by showing it a similar one. Search for "dog at the beach" or "that coffee shop with the blue awning" and watch your entire library sort itself out in seconds.

Everything happens right on your device, so your photos never leave your phone.

Features

Search

Find exactly what you're looking for, two ways:
* Search by photo - Pick a photo or video or snap a new one with your camera, and Cluster finds everything similar to it.
* Search by text - Just describe what you're looking for, and Cluster finds it.

Clusters

Let Cluster do the sorting for you. Create a Cluster and it automatically gathers matching photos and videos as they're added to your library, no manual tagging required.
* Cluster using text - Type a description like "sunsets" or "birthday parties," and matching photos group themselves.
* Cluster using photos - Pick photos you like, and Cluster finds and groups everything similar to it.

One-time Index
The first time you open Cluster, it needs to Index your photo library once to make search possible, this can take a few minutes depending on how many photos you have. After that, search is instant.

FAQ:

1. Does Cluster upload my photos anywhere?
    No. All search and organization happens entirely on your device. Your photos and the index data never leave your iPhone.

2. How do I use the app?
    When you open the app, It will automatically synchronize your photos and videos to build its own index data. Every added or modified photo or video will be index. After indexing, you can select a photo from your library or take a photo using your camera to search for similar photos. Videos are indexed the same way as photos. The Video's thumbnail is used for indexing.

3. What does Cluster Premium unlock?
    The free version limits search and Cluster results to 3 items. Cluster Premium is a one-time purchase that removes this limit app-wide, with no subscription required.
