- WHAT IS CIRCLE TO SEARCH?

Ever wanted to search for something you see on your phone screen? Circle To Search brings that power to your fingertips on any Android device. Simply draw a circle around what you're looking for, and instantly get results from your favorite search engine.

Think of it as having Google Lens, Bing Visual Search, Yandex, and TinEye all in one place—and it works everywhere.

WHY USE THIS CIRCLE TO SEARCH APP?

THE PROBLEM WITH GOOGLE'S CTS VERSION
• Forced Cloud Syncing: Uploads your selection to servers even when you just want to copy text.
• Gets accidentally triggered frequently, exposing sensitive data instantly to Google.
• Ecosystem Lock-in: Restricted to Google Search—no support for Bing, Yandex, or AI models.
• Missing Features: Useful features like "Share" and "Save" have been stripped out.
• Hardware Exclusivity: Only available on expensive flagship devices (Pixel 8, Galaxy S24+).

WHAT WE DO DIFFERENTLY
• Strict Privacy: Only what you circle gets processed—nothing else.
• True Offline OCR: Text recognition works 100% locally on your device—no internet needed.
• QR detection offline, Smart Scan offline—no unnecessary servers.
• Universal Compatibility: Works with any search engine (Google, Bing, Yandex, TinEye, ChatGPT).
• Restored Utility: We brought back the "Share" and "Save" features Google removed.
• Works on any Android device, not just expensive flagships.
• Works on De-Googled Devices: No Google programs needed.

100% Independent: Works flawlessly on any Android phone (Android 10+), without requiring Google Play Services or OEM-specific software.

Privacy-First: No background tracking or logs—just pure on-device selection.
