Photo Finder App: Queryable

Just a fantastic app, search works super well and the developer has implemented most of the features I’ve wanted out of this app. Great job!

The version in China App Store will be taken down due to so called ‘regulation’, sooner or later.

This is a desperately needed tool when you have thousands of images to search through. My main gripe is that it doesn’t let me go from the search result to the photo in my album, for some reason.

I’ve realized it’s surprisingly often I need a very specific photo that Apple Photos or Google Photos just can’t handle with its basic object search. But Queryable is able to handle these complex scenarios nearly every time! “Pizza box secured to a bicycle with cargo straps”? - got it! “Black cat loafing on a piece of styrofoam”? - no problem! And entirely locally?? Super impressive. Apple really needs to hire the person behind this app and integrate it into Apple Photos.

I bought this because I was interested in the technology (read about it on HN) but this app has been surprisingly useful. I have a lot of photos on my phone, and it’s great to be able to find photos containing an object. I use it about once every two weeks. I wish the native Photos search was this good. I also appreciate that all of the machine learning is done on device in a privacy preserving way. Apple should buy this app.

Does what it says on the tin, very quickly!

Great app for searching photos. The only thing that’s missing is multiple select. Please add this feature. Users will be able to search and remove unwanted photos from the library much faster than with stock photos app.

This app is exactly what I’ve been looking for to search through my 20,000-photo library. Often I have a specific photo I’ve taken in my mind, but I don’t remember when. This app lets me search for it even on the subway. With the recent support for image similarity search, this is a must-buy for anyone who wants good tools to sort through their photos.

I love this app. Works great on mac/iOS. Fast and accurate. I also appreciate the offline design. Thank you for caring about our privacy. If I could ask for a feature, it would to be work with arbitrary folders on MacOS (not just the photos library). Either way, thank you.

Saw on HackerNews and thought I would give it a shot. I am on an iPhone 12 Pro and it maybe took 30 seconds to index roughly 2,200 images. The ability to search for a described scene is fast and performs well. I had some false negatives, but the result set always had the photo I was describing in it. Are the photos ordered by similarity to the query? It would be nice to order results by timestamp or filter by location.
