About

Visual Archive

Features
Read full description

Visual Archive is a visual-first item organizer built around the way people actually remember things. Most belongings do not live in neat spreadsheets. They sit inside closets, drawers, boxes, medicine kits, suitcases, and shelves. When you need them again, you may not remember the exact name — but you remember what they look like. Visual Archive is designed for that kind of memory. Take a photo, create a clean cutout thumbnail on device, and place the item where it belongs: socks inside a storage box, medicine inside a kit, cables inside a drawer, accessories inside a case. Any item can contain more items, so your digital archive can follow the structure of your real space. It is not a heavy inventory database. It is a pocket-sized visual archive. Open it and you see the objects themselves: clear thumbnails, readable shapes, and simple location paths. When you need to find something, you can follow the image in your memory instead of guessing the perfect keyword. Useful for organizing: • Closets, drawers, and storage boxes • Medicine, supplies, and spare parts • Collectibles, figures, models, and accessories • Cables, adapters, and electronics • Moving boxes and home inventory • Items you keep forgetting, misplacing, or buying twice Key capabilities: • Capture items with photos and build a visual archive • On-device smart cutout to highlight the subject • Clean thumbnails with white outlines for quick browsing • Nested item structure that mirrors real-world storage • Tags, search, and filters for faster retrieval • Expiration dates and reminders for medicine and supplies • Batch move, batch organize, and undo recent moves • Cleanup flow and attention scoring to surface forgotten items • iCloud sync and advanced capacity features available with Premium • Photo processing is designed to stay local and private Visual Archive is not about filling out more fields. It is about remembering where things are, what they look like, and whether they still deserve a place in your life. When a box is closed, its contents should not disappear from memory.
