Most editors ask you to design the edit. Vye asks you to pick the one you like. Vye's on-device AI reads your photo and generates the strongest edits for it, completely offline. Swipe through them like cards: keep, skip, crown a winner. No presets to scroll, no sliders to decode. Free every day. Unlock once, yours forever, no subscription. HOW IT WORKS Select a photo. Vye reads it locally, generates a set of distinct edits, and shows them as swipeable cards. Keep what works, skip what doesn't, duel the finalists head to head, then fine-tune the winner with full control over color, contrast, temperature, and more. Pick a focused run, or let Flow keep generating until you spot a gem. WHY IT'S DIFFERENT No two photos get the same edits. Vye reads the content, mood, and lighting of each image and proposes looks pulled from a dozen distinct visual styles. The result is variety you wouldn't have thought to try. Swipe to keep or skip, duel the finalists, double-tap to crown the winner. Choosing feels like a game, not a chore. FREE EVERY DAY You get 2 full edits a day, free. The one-time unlock removes the limit: unlimited edits, every look, forever. MADE FOR APPLE INTELLIGENCE Vye is built for Apple Intelligence. Every edit comes from Apple's on-device models, running entirely on your iPhone. You already paid for the Neural Engine. Vye puts it to work. PRIVACY No cloud upload. No internet access. No account. The entire pipeline runs on your iPhone, including the on-device AI that picks the edits.

AI Effects's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks) and monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs paid).
