MemoryPlaces App
Read full descriptionHide full description
Pick one photo from a place that matters, and MemoryPlaces creates an album of every photo you took there, right inside Apple Photos. Been back since? Open the app and tap Refresh to add the new ones. HOW IT WORKS 1. Start with one photo. Choose any photo with location data: your kid's school, your parents' house, the lake cabin, a city you visit every year. 2. Check the area. MemoryPlaces draws a 1 km circle around that photo and shows you every matching photo before anything is saved. Want the circle bigger or smaller, from one block to a whole city? Resizing is part of Basic and Lifetime. 3. Get an album in Apple Photos. MemoryPlaces creates a real album in your Photos library. It's a regular album: it syncs with iCloud Photos and shows up on your other devices, like any album you make yourself. 4. Refresh when you're back. Albums don't update on their own. After another visit, open MemoryPlaces and tap Refresh; photos taken inside the area are added to the same album. Refresh works on every plan, including Free. WHY PEOPLE USE IT - Years of photos from one place, finally in one album. The map in Photos shows pins; MemoryPlaces gives you the album. - Family places: home, school, grandparents' house, the park you go to every weekend. - Trips you repeat: start from one landmark photo, and refresh the album after next year's visit. - No more scrolling map pins to find the same spot again. PRIVATE BY DESIGN - Everything runs on your device. No account, no sign-up, no upload. - MemoryPlaces reads your photo library only to find photos inside the areas you choose, and only writes albums you asked for. - No third-party SDKs: no analytics, no trackers, no ad networks. - App Store privacy label: no data collected. FREE, ANNUAL, LIFETIME - Free: create up to 3 place albums and refresh them as often as you like. No time limit. - Basic Annual: unlimited place albums, plus resize the area around any place. - Lifetime: everything in Basic, forever, with a one-time purchase and no subscription. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; manage them in your Apple ID settings. ALSO ON MAC Same albums, same library. Build and refresh place albums on your Mac with the bigger map. GOOD TO KNOW - Only photos with location data can be matched. Photos without GPS won't appear in place albums. - Albums are standard Apple Photos albums: you can rename, share or delete them in Photos at any time. - Refresh is manual. We chose that on purpose so nothing changes in your library without you asking.

ImagePilot keeps your entire photo library organized — right on your device. On-device AI recognizes what's in every photo and sorts it for you, so you can find anything in seconds, clear out clutter, and free up storage. No account, no upload, no ads. ON-DEVICE AI CLASSIFICATION An advanced multimodal model (MobileCLIP2) runs entirely offline to recognize photo content across 20 everyday categories: portraits, social events, kids, pets, travel & scenery, night scenes, architecture, plants, food, vehicles, sports, fashion, products, electronics, documents, ID cards, art, cartoons, screenshots, and QR codes. Your photos never leave your device. 8 WAYS TO ORGANIZE - By content — AI understands what's in each photo - By city — matched offline from the photo's own GPS data, never sent online - By color, storage, format, resolution, and orientation — instant metadata sorting - Similar photos — automatically groups bursts and duplicates for quick review CLEAN UP IN FOUR STEPS Scan & classify → browse by category → move to the staging box → confirm, then delete or archive. Clear out duplicates, stale screenshots, and one-off documents in just a few taps. MAKE IT YOURS Remove built-in categories you don't need, or add your own. Deleted photos return to "Unclassified" — never lost, restorable anytime. MOMENTS & MEMORIES "On This Day," holiday, and trip memories surface automatically. Turn your photos and videos into a personal Showtime reel — one-tap templates add cinematic color grading, title cards, and local music, then export a short video to share (portrait, landscape, or square). ALBUM REPORT Generate a fun yearly report in one tap: totals, year-by-year trends, your most-photographed subjects, city footprints, your busiest day behind the camera — all computed locally and shareable as a single image. LOCAL PHOTO EDITING Portrait retouch, AI upscaling, and color enhancement (each with adjustable strength), plus smart cutout, object removal, document correction, and adjustable filters — all on-device, no network. PRIVACY, IN YOUR HANDS - Classification and editing run offline by default — no upload, no login, no account. - The only time a photo goes online is if you choose to connect your own AI provider (e.g. OpenAI or Claude) with your own API key for optional cloud classification. Photos go only to the provider you configured; the developer runs no server and never receives or stores your data. - No ads, no in-app purchases. Completely free. Photo organizing, made effortless — and private.
