About Memorable – On-device AI search for iPhone photos, videos, screenshots
Memorable is an on-device AI search engine for iPhone photos, videos, and screenshots. It lets users describe moments in natural language—like 'sunset at the beach' or 'that restaurant in Berlin last summer'—and instantly finds matching media. Built with SigLIP2, the app processes everything locally using Apple's Neural Engine, ensuring no photo data or search queries ever leave the device. It supports location-aware, time-aware, and scene-aware queries, plus OCR for text in screenshots and videos. The app works fully offline, requires no account, and has zero tracking or ads. A free tier allows searching the most recent 500 photos; a Pro upgrade unlocks the entire library.

FAQ
How does Memorable ensure privacy?

Does it work offline?

Can I search inside videos?
