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 the visually similar images hiding in your phone. No internet required. 100% private. THE MAGIC (How it works): Open the camera inside iSIMILAR (or pick a photo from your gallery). Point it at a motherboard, a document, or a location. In under a second, the AI finds the photos that look like it — even ones you took months ago. On first launch, iSIMILAR indexes your gallery once (a quick one-time scan). After that, every search is instant — even with 15,000+ photos. 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: Search results in ~50 ms, even with 15,000+ photos. • 100% Offline AI: Runs on your phone's hardware (GPU / Neural Engine). Your photos never leave your device. • Privacy First: No cloud, no uploads, no accounts needed. • Smart Cleanup: Batch delete, organize into albums, 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?
