Walk into a temple for your memories: on-device AI that sorts thousands of photos into 12 categories, entirely by voice. 100% local. 100% private. HEY ARRI! VOICE CONTROL Say "Hey Arri" and the Temple answers. Scan, open, navigate — every page, every category, hands-free. The wake word runs on your device: always listening, never recording. Not one second of audio is transmitted. "Hey Arri, scan Nature." That's it. That's the interface. 100% LOCAL. 100% PRIVATE. 100% YOU. Not a single pixel leaves your phone. No cloud. No server. No ads, no trackers, no geolocation, no address-book access. The entire AI runs on-device — your photos are analyzed, sorted and kept on YOUR device. Your data belongs to you. This is not a feature. It is the foundation. 12 SACRED CATEGORIES Selfie · Group · Nature · Animal · Food · In&Out · Text · ID/Doc · Solo · Duplicates · Baby · Motors. Each photo finds its vial automatically. Your camera roll has 4,000 photos? Temple sees the story inside. YOUR VOICE IS THE TEMPLE KEY Voice-first means accessible-first. Reduced mobility, busy hands, deaf and hard-of-hearing users, screen fatigue — the Temple opens to a bare voice. No dexterity required, no screen required. Your voice is the key. WALK. SORT. BE. Every day you open the Temple, you harvest GoldenOr — the reward currency of the Arritos ecosystem (in-app, no monetary value). Reach 100,000 and the next module reaches out to you. A UNIQUE STEAMPUNK SANCTUARY Inspired by Jules Verne and the cathedrals of knowledge: brass dials, gears, golden vials. Available in English, Francais, Espanol, Russkiy. THE SECOND STONE Temple follows Arritos Playlist in a cathedral of 30 modules being built stone by stone — on-device first, privacy as a religion, voice everywhere. You are not installing an app. You are laying a stone. Some memories deserve more than a folder named "misc". Not for everyone. Maybe for you. — Subscription: 7-day free trial, then EUR 2.99/month or EUR 19.99/year (save 44%). Payment is charged to your Apple ID.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Arritos Temple at every 4 days against Annotable's every 2 months. Arritos Temple also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
