Here's why this approach benefits you: • Cost Control: You only pay for what you use directly through OpenAI (typically pennies per image) • Privacy Assurance: Your images go directly to OpenAI, not through our servers • Latest Technology: Access to OpenAI's cutting-edge GPT-4 Vision model • No Subscription: One-time app purchase, you control your usage costs • Reliability: Direct connection to OpenAI ensures consistent service Getting your API key is straightforward - the app includes step-by-step setup instructions that guide you through creating an OpenAI account and generating your key. Most users spend less than $5/month even with heavy usage, and you can set spending limits in your OpenAI account for complete budget control. Your privacy is fully protected - all image processing happens securely between your device and OpenAI's servers. We never see, store, or log your images or API usage. Break down visual barriers. Make every image accessible.

JustSee Vision tells you what your photos show and turns them into memories. Built for blind and low vision users and fully compatible with VoiceOver, the app describes every picture, so you want to keep it, come back to it or share it. A photo that speaks A scene, an object, a moment: JustSee describes what a picture shows, so your photos are not just files but memories you can read again, on screen or out loud. Your library, finally clear You no longer have to guess what each thumbnail is. You read, you sort, you find your photos again instead of letting them pile up on your phone. Sharing that makes sense A described photo is easier to share, because the people around you understand straight away what it shows. Documents and mail too A handout from a teacher, a letter, a board full of text: JustSee helps you understand what it says and read it again later. Useful for students, and for everyday mail. Even faster On iPhone 16 and later, press Camera Control, the button on the right side, to take a photo and hear the description right away. How it works You choose. You can use Iko, our assistant that picks the most capable AI for each situation, with nothing to set up. You can also have the description done on your device, for more privacy if your iPhone is recent*, or connect the AI of your choice with your own API key (Google Gemini, OpenAI, Claude, Grok, Mistral, OpenRouter) in Settings. Faces stay apart Face recognition and identifying the people close to you happen only on your iPhone or iPad. Nothing is sent over the internet for this feature. Made by and for blind and low vision people JustSee is designed to be clear, accessible and pleasant to use every day. Download JustSee Vision: describe to keep, and keep to remember. * Note, on-device description Plan on an iPhone 15 Pro or later, a download of about 3 GB, and a result that is sometimes less rich or slower than Iko online. Details vary from one device to another.
