## What is iSIMILAR?

iSIMILAR: The Private Visual Search Engine for Pros

Tired of losing important reference photos in a messy gallery of 14,000+ images? Text search doesn't work for hardware, blueprints, or receipts. iSIMILAR fixes that.

Point your camera at any object — or select a saved photo — and our on-device AI instantly digs up every visually similar image hiding in your phone. 

No internet required. 100% private.

THE MAGIC (How it works):
Open the camera inside iSIMILAR.
Point it at a motherboard, a document, or a location.
In under 1 second, the AI finds every matching photo you've ever taken.

BUILT FOR PROFESSIONALS:
• Tech Repair: Photograph an open laptop to instantly find the teardown photos you took 4 months ago.
• Architects/Builders: Snap a picture of a job site and group all related project photos.
• Doctors/Engineers: Photograph X-rays or schematics and instantly locate past scans.
• Everyday Users: Find receipts, specific memes, or similar photos without endless scrolling.

KEY FEATURES:
• Lightning Fast: Results in around 50 milliseconds.
• 100% Offline AI: Uses your phone's Neural Engine. Your photos never leave your device.
• Privacy First: No cloud, no uploads, no accounts needed.
• Smart Cleanup: Batch delete, organize, or export your results instantly.

PRICING (No Hidden Fees):
Searching by existing photos and deleting one-by-one is Free Forever.
We give you 5 Free Camera Searches to test the magic.
Need more? Upgrade to iSIMILAR PRO (one simple annual subscription) to unlock unlimited Camera Searches and unlimited Batch Actions. No annoying credit systems.

Stop scrolling. Start finding.
