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


Versions

Although APK downloads are available below to give you the choice, you should be aware that by installing that way you will not receive update notifications and it's a less secure way to download. We recommend that you install the F-Droid client and use that.
