Core AI helps you discover more in the things around you. Take a photo or choose one from your library to explore objects, read labels, and find inspiration. EXPLORE YOUR PHOTOS Identify visible subjects and details with on-device Apple Intelligence. Choose a focus for plants, food, fashion, furniture, or product labels. Ask follow-up questions about your scan. READ AND CREATE Recognize text and barcodes, copy useful information, extract a color palette, crop your photo, or lift a subject from its background. COMPARE POSSIBILITIES Choose two photos to explore their visible differences, materials, and style. AI estimates of size and value are approximate, not measurements or appraisals. KEEP YOUR DISCOVERIES Completed analyses are saved in your local library. Favorite scans, organize collections, export selected content, or delete saved scans. Widgets provide quick access to your last scan and camera. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Photo processing happens on your device. No account, advertising, or analytics. You control sharing and exports. Search actions open external services with your selected search terms. Device backups may include your saved library. REQUIREMENTS The app supports iOS and iPadOS 26 or later.
