Visuals Media Browser vs FaceIdent

Visuals is a fast, native media browser for the photos and videos that don't belong in the Photos app — shoots, projects, archives, downloads, scanned prints, everything in between. The full app on iPhone and iPad, not a companion viewer. No account. No subscription. ON-DEVICE AI Every AI feature runs on your device. Your photos never leave it. Faces & People — automatic face detection and recognition across your library. Name the people it finds and browse your collection by person. Text-to-image search — describe what you're looking for ("sleeping dog at sunset," "people on a beach") and find matching photos and video frames. Find Similar — point at any photo and surface the most visually and conceptually similar images. Duplicate detection — exact copies, near-duplicates, and semantically similar images. SYNC WITH YOUR MAC Tags, favorites, people, albums, ratings, and captions sync between your iPhone, iPad, and Macs through your own iCloud account — automatically, with nothing to switch on. Each device keeps its own media; Visuals syncs the intelligence around it. Thumbnails are shared between your devices too, so a phone or iPad fills in its grid from a library your Mac has already indexed, rather than building everything again. Already indexed a library in Visuals for Mac? Import it directly — people, tags, and AI index intact — instead of rebuilding from scratch. WORKS WITH iCLOUD DRIVE Point Visuals at folders in iCloud Drive and browse the whole library, whether or not each file is on this device. Open a photo or video that isn't downloaded yet and Visuals fetches it, showing you the size and what it's doing. A Downloaded filter shows what's already on the device. BROWSE YOUR WAY Maps — every geotagged photo as a pin, clusters splitting as you zoom. Albums, tags, color labels, favorites, ratings, captions. Full EXIF and location details for every item. Multiple libraries — switch instantly. PRICING Free 10-day trial with every feature unlocked. One one-time purchase covers Mac, iPhone, and iPad. No subscription, ever. PRIVACY No telemetry. No analytics. No Bloo Software servers. No account required. Sync runs entirely through your own iCloud — we have no servers and never see your data. What syncs is the intelligence around your library: tags, people, albums, captions, and thumbnails. Your original photos and videos are never uploaded anywhere, by us or by sync. AI features download model files on first use (Wi-Fi recommended — on cellular, Visuals asks before using your data). Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
