Find any photo, video, or asset by its exact filename instantly. RollSearch is a lightning-fast, privacy-first utility engineered to index your camera roll by raw system filenames, allowing you to locate the exact media file you need in a fraction of a second. DO ONE THING. DO IT PERFECTLY. • Instant Filename Precision: Type any raw filename (such as IMG_4091), file extension (.HEIC, .MOV, .PNG), or specific screenshot identifier into the search bar to pinpoint the exact item immediately. • 100% Secure & On-Device: RollSearch operates entirely offline. Your photo library, filenames, and search queries are processed locally and never leave your physical device. There are no accounts to create, no tracking scripts, and zero cloud uploads. • Seamless Library Integration: RollSearch acts as a high-powered search overlay for your existing media. Actions you take within the app automatically and safely update your system photo library. UPGRADE TO PREMIUM: THE POWER USER SUITE Core filename searching is entirely free. To perform advanced actions on the files you locate, unlock the Premium suite with a single, one-time Lifetime Purchase (no subscriptions). Premium unlocks: • The Action Pill: A 1-tap command overlay to instantly share, delete, or route assets directly into a dedicated "RollSearch" album within your library. • Native Media Inspector: Open files in an elegant, full-screen view to inspect visual details closely without leaving the search context. • Lag-Free 4K Playback: Preview large, high-resolution 4K videos smoothly and seamlessly right inside your search grid. • Permanent Feature Access: One single activation grants permanent access to all power-user tools with no recurring monthly fees. A UTILITY BUILT ON TRUST RollSearch accesses your photo library locally to build its filename index and process your direct file management requests. All original assets remain securely managed by the system, and deleting the application completely erases the local search index from your device. Streamline your workflow, bypass the search grid, and manage your files like a pro.
