VisuCraft turns any photo into a step-by-step repair or build guide — no searching, no videos, no guesswork. Point your camera at anything — a leaking faucet, a rattling appliance, a flat-pack furniture kit, a car engine — and VisuCraft reads the scene and generates a personalized blueprint in seconds. No templates. No generic YouTube tutorials. Just the exact guide for what's actually in front of you. WHAT YOU GET • Annotated step-by-step guide — every step is overlaid directly on your captured photo with highlighted callouts, measurement markers, and numbered pins so you always know exactly where to look. • AI diagnosis first — describe your symptom ("leaking under the sink," "tripping the breaker") and VisuCraft leads with a diagnosis before the fix, so you're solving the right problem every time. • Full parts breakdown — an IKEA-style exploded view identifies every part and links it to a shopping search so you can source what you need without leaving the app. Pro adds a clean catalog-style illustration for every part. • Printable PDF manual — every guide generates a professional, shareable PDF you can print, text to a family member, or keep for next time. • Watch mode — each guide becomes a narrated cartoon walkthrough: a hand-drawn sketch for every step, read aloud while your hands stay on the work. No phone watching required. • Step Check-In — snap a checkpoint photo after each step and VisuCraft's AI looks at what you did and confirms you're ready to move on. Mis-tightened bolt? Wrong side panel? It will catch it. • AI Mechanic / Carpenter — a grounded chat assistant that knows your exact guide. Ask "what if my pipe is copper?", ask it to convert measurements to metric, ask it to simplify a step — it can even rewrite the guide in real time. • Save and track — every guide stays in your on-device library. Progress bars show how far you've gotten, and you can pick back up exactly where you left off.

Your photo library is quietly eating your storage. Nixly finds what's actually reclaimable and shows you the real gigabytes you can free, with none of the fake "boost" tricks other cleaners use. Nixly is the honest photo cleaner. Photo analysis runs on your device. Your photos never leave your phone. WHAT NIXLY FINDS - Exact duplicates: true byte-for-byte copies - Similar shots: bursts and near-identical photos, kept separate so counts are never inflated - Screenshots: the ones you never look at again - Large videos: the real storage hogs SWIPE TO CLEAN Flick through your camera roll: keep the best, clear the rest. Nixly pre-picks the highest-quality shot in each group so you never lose the good one. SHRINK VIDEOS, KEEP MEMORIES Re-encode storage-hogging videos to a smaller size on-device and reclaim real space. RADICALLY HONEST Deleting photos moves them to your Recently Deleted album for 30 days, so storage isn't truly freed until you empty it. Nixly tells you this clearly and shows you exactly where the space really goes. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. Your photos and videos stay on your device. FREE TO START Scan your whole library and see everything for free, including a set of free deletions. Upgrade to Nixly Pro for unlimited cleaning, video shrinking, Smart Clean, and unlimited swipe-to-clean.
