Find any photo by describing it. Connect Apple Photos with one tap and every photo becomes searchable by what's in it. No exporting, no moving files, nothing changed in Photos. Search the way you talk. "Beach sunset with the dog." "The whiteboard from March." "Dad laughing." Avlok understands what you mean, and your full-resolution photos never leave your device. Your library, organized for you: people, places, trips, and the things in your photos surface automatically. Videos too. Find them by what's in them, or by what people say in them. Bring your AI assistant. Connect Claude, ChatGPT, or any assistant you already use, and ask it questions about your own photo library. Private by design. Full-resolution photos stay on your device. Nothing you store with Avlok is ever used to train AI. Avlok is free for up to 750 photos. Avlok Pro adds cloud access from any device and a much larger photo limit.
