# FoldFinder: Ask Your Files — Answers from files and photos > Answers from files and photos (iPhone/iPad app by Vincenzo Ingrosso.) - Source: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/foldfinder-ask-your-files/id6821163092 (this page in markdown: same URL + `.md`) - Developer: [Vincenzo Ingrosso](https://appshunter.io/developer/6819742020) - Category: Productivity, Utilities - Price: Free - Age rating: 4+ - Requires: iOS 26.0 · 323 MB - Languages: American English, Italian - Released: 2026-10-24 - Data updated: 2026-10-31 ## What is FoldFinder? Pick a folder on your iPhone and ask your files questions the way you'd ask a person: "how much is my electricity bill?", "when does my car insurance expire?", "the photo of the whiteboard with the budget", "where in the meeting did we talk about the deadline?". FoldFinder finds the right passages even when you use different words from the document, and shows them with their sources. On iPhones with Apple Intelligence, it also writes a short answer that cites each source, one tap away. Want to dig deeper? "Show 5 more" lists further matches under the results. EVERYTHING ON YOUR IPHONE • No data collected, no account, no server, no ads, no tracking. • Works offline: the search model ships inside the app. • Answers are written on device by Apple Intelligence, when available. TRY IT RIGHT AWAY • The "Examples" folder holds made-up documents (a bill, a lease, a recipe, a manual, a warranty, a receipt, travel notes), already indexed on first launch. You'll find it in the Files app too. READS WHAT YOU HAVE • PDFs, including scans: pages without text are read with on-device text recognition. • Text and Markdown files, exported notes. • Photos, if you allow it (all or only the ones you pick): find them by what they show, in your own words, and by the text inside them. • Audio recordings: transcribed on your iPhone, with a tap that jumps to the exact minute; sounds like music, applause or a dog barking are recognized too. • Works on its own: big photo libraries and long recordings are read at night while your iPhone charges, and new or changed files are picked up the same way. One live counter shows how much has been read and about how long is left. • Gentle on your battery: in Low Power Mode or when the iPhone gets warm it slows down or pauses, says why in plain words, and picks up again by itself. YOUR DATA, YOUR COPY • Choose whether the index goes into your iPhone backup, or export it and import it again. SIRI AND SHORTCUTS • "Ask My Files", "Search My Files" and "Index Now" are available in Siri and the Shortcuts app. GOOD TO KNOW Written answers need an Apple Intelligence-capable iPhone with Apple Intelligence turned on; without it, FoldFinder still shows the passages it found, with their sources. Transcription uses the speech recognition built into iOS for your language.
