A product that has reached #1 on the front page of Hacker News and topped the paid tools chart across all European countries, while ranking #2 in the US on the same day. Queryable is an open-source, offline photo album search tool unlike anything you've used before. Search your photos with natural descriptions like "two people by the sea," "a blonde woman holding a glass of red wine," "a girl in red on the lawn," or even emotional moments like "We fell in love." Queryable understands longer, more human descriptions instead of only simple tags. New in this version: search in your own language. Non-English queries are translated on your device before searching, so your photos and your words never leave your phone. You can also search by photo, filter results by time, batch-select and share, clean up duplicates more precisely, and view Live Photos and videos more reliably. Pay once and use it forever. Queryable works completely offline after download, protecting the privacy of your photo library. FAQ: 1. What languages can I search in? You can search in your own language. Queryable translates your query on device before searching, while keeping the accuracy of the English search model. The app interface is currently localized in English, French, German, Spanish, and Italian. 2. How is my photo privacy protected? Queryable works completely offline. You can even disable the app's network permissions if you have privacy concerns. 3. How do I use it? After downloading, build an index for your photos. This takes a few minutes depending on your library and device. On an iPhone 12 mini, Queryable processes about 2,000 photos per minute, and indexing is only required once. Once indexing is complete, you can search instantly. When you add new photos, you can update the index at any time.
