SmartScan

Turn your images and videos into a personal knowledge base.
Turn your images and videos into a personal knowledge base. Search, organise, and rediscover the media you've saved, with automatic collections and concepts that help you find information you might otherwise forget.

Search


  • Find images and videos using text or image search

  • Search by tags or tag + text queries

  • Search from other apps using share or intent

  • Paste images directly into the search bar



Automatic Collections


  • Automatically group visually similar media into collections

  • Browse related photos and videos without manually organising them



Concepts


  • Organise media by meaning, not just appearance

  • Create concepts around topics or ideas and automatically find matching media using descriptions

  • Generate image descriptions automatically or add and edit descriptions yourself



Tagging


  • Add tags to your media

  • Use tag autocomplete when searching or tagging



Duplicate Management


  • Detect duplicate media

  • Filter your library to include, exclude, or show only duplicates



Privacy


  • SmartScan is offline-first

  • Your media, tags, collections, concepts, and generated descriptions are stored and processed on your device

  • Generating image descriptions optionally uses cloud processing and requires an internet connection
