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.
