Hallar Foto: Queryable

Many, many false positives, but catches many true hits that Apple’s Photos app misses.

very nice this app.tnx dev

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.

It would be nice if it worked as well on mac as it does on iOS. Help?

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.
