Bram's Bounding App uses Claude AI to analyze your photos and automatically detect regions of interest โ€” circled text, boxed sections, highlighted areas, or notable objects. Every detected region is extracted, transcribed, and saved locally so you can search and revisit them anytime. HOW IT WORKS Take a photo or select images from your library Claude AI analyzes the image and detects important regions Review each detected region โ€” edit the text, reposition the bounding box, or remove it Save and browse your collection in a beautiful gallery view PERFECT FOR Students: Circle key passages in textbooks or handwritten notes, then search for them later Researchers: Extract and organize regions from documents, whiteboards, or diagrams Creatives: Capture interesting details from the world around you โ€” signs, art, textures, objects Anyone who wants to remember what caught their eye KEY FEATURES AI-Powered Detection: Claude AI identifies circled sections, boxed areas, handwritten highlights, and salient objects in any photo Multi-Photo Support: Select up to 20 images at once from your photo library Review Before Saving: Walk through each detected region one by one โ€” edit text, adjust the bounding box, or delete before committing Gallery View: Browse your saved photos in a clean, Photos-like grid Powerful Search: Find any saved region by searching its extracted text, with thumbnail previews Similar Sections: Discover related content across your library using on-device semantic similarity Full Photo View: See the original image with all bounding boxes overlaid, tap any box to view its details Edit Mode: Drag and resize bounding boxes directly on the full photo view Share & Export: Share original photos with one tap Retry Queue: If an analysis fails, it's automatically queued for retry iCloud Sync: Your photos and bounding boxes automatically sync across all your iCloud devices Private by Design: Your data is stored on your device and in your private iCloud container. No accounts, no tracking. PRIVACY FIRST Your photos and extracted content are stored on your device and synced through your private iCloud container โ€” only you can access them. The only external communication is Claude AI analysis (which you initiate). There are no user accounts, no analytics, no ads, and no data collection. You provide your own Claude API key โ€” we never see it. Requires a Claude API key from Anthropic (https://console.anthropic.com). API usage costs are determined by your Anthropic account.
