About

ML Browser

Features
Read full description

ML Browser turns any website into a testing ground for your own machine-learning models (Core ML + imported MobileNetV2, ResNet-50, SqueezeNet 1.0, YOLO). Open a page, run your model over it, and see the results drawn straight onto the content as you scroll. Run several models at once and compare how they behave on real pages rather than a curated test set โ€” whether they are looking for animals, vehicles, food, or terrain. BRING YOUR OWN MODELS Import Core ML models made with Create ML, or bring an ONNX model and have it converted on the device โ€” no server, no account. Object detection and classification are both supported, including modern YOLO detectors. Labels, preprocessing and licence details are detected automatically at import. OR START FROM THE CATALOG Browse and install models from in-app catalogs if you would rather not bring your own. KEEP WHAT YOU FIND Capture anything interesting as a finding, with the image and its context saved on the device. Export or share your findings whenever you want. MADE FOR LOOKING CLOSELY A fullscreen browser built for imagery, with an adaptive address bar, several annotation styles, and tiled detection for large maps and aerial photography. Every model runs entirely on your device. Nothing is uploaded for processing. Subscription ML Browser Premium โ€” $3.99/month, auto-renewing. New installs include 14 days of free access, and new subscribers get a 2-week free trial. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; manage or cancel in your Apple Account settings.
