## What is Diary Lens?

DiaryLens helps you turn handwritten notes, journal pages, sermons, study notes, and quick thoughts into a searchable reflection library.

Capture a page with your camera or import from your photo library. DiaryLens extracts readable text, helps summarize the note, creates useful tags, and keeps the original image alongside your saved reflection so you can revisit it later.

  Use DiaryLens to:

  - Scan handwritten pages and saved images
  - Extract text from notes with AI
  - Save summaries, insights, and themes
  - Search your notes and tags
  - Revisit meaningful reflections through gentle reminders
  - Keep your saved notes organized in a local library
  - Switch between light and dark mode

Saved notes and photos stay in app storage on your device. Scans and note text are sent to Firebase AI only when you ask DiaryLens to read or summarize them.

DiaryLens is built for people who want their handwritten thoughts to be easier to search, remember, and reflect on.
