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.

That Look applies the look of one photo onto another — on your iPhone, without uploading your pictures. Pick the photo you want to change, then pick a second photo whose color, texture, and mood you like. That Look transfers that look onto yours. Drag the curtain to compare before and after. Nudge the strength slider if you want more or less of the effect. Save the result to Photos. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Use any photo as the style — not a fixed filter pack • Adjust strength from −100 to 100 without using another daily match • Compare original and result with a before/after curtain • Save to your library with add-only photo access • Work fully on-device. Your photos are not sent to a server to process THAT LOOK PREMIUM The app is free to try, with 5 style matches per day. A new content or style photo counts as a match. Strength adjustments do not. The count resets at midnight in your time zone. That Look Premium is an optional auto-renewing subscription that removes the daily limit. Subscribe from the paywall or Settings. Payment is charged to your Apple ID. The subscription renews unless you turn off auto-renew at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel in Account Settings after purchase. Restore Purchases is available if you already subscribed on this Apple ID.
