The privacy promise

Your photos never leave the phone unless you ask for a cloud job

Sifting, duplicate detection, face grouping and document text all run locally. When something does need the cloud, it is one file at a time, initiated by you, used once, then deleted straight after.

0 bytes

uploaded by default

Install, scan and clean an entire library with the phone in airplane mode. Nothing breaks.

Used once

then deleted, and only if you say yes

A file you send for summarising or transcription is processed and deleted. Never used for training.

No account

to use the free app

We cannot lose data we never collected. An email is only needed for Plus billing.

In the app

The same promise, written into the settings

Privacy and processing is a real screen, not a policy link: it names every job that can reach the internet and lets you turn each one off. Cloud work asks permission per job, every time.
