Queryable: Find Photo by Text app for iPhone and iPad

Queryable - An open-source, offline semantic photo album search tool.

With Queryable, you can search for photos in your albums using text descriptions like "photos of our gathering," "kite in blue sky," "dog, girl, and flower," or even emotions depicted in the photo.

- Note: Currently, only iPhone 11 (A13 chip) and above devices are supported. Do NOT purchase if youre using iPhone X/XS/XR or iPad with A12 chip and below, as it may produce incorrect results.

1. Whats the highlights ?
- You can use complex & long descriptions to search photos, rather than object keywords.
- Open source, offline, and operates without network. This means you dont have to expose your photo album privacy to anyone.

2. How to use Queryable ?
The first time you use Queryable, it will build an index of all your photos, which takes a few minutes, depending on the number of photos you have, this step is performed only once. After that, you can start searching for anything you want. When you have new photos, you can manually update the index to make them searchable.

3. Are there any privacy or security issues?
Queryable values your privacy. Therefore it is designed to be totally offline and will never request your network access, thereby avoiding any privacy issues. (You can turn off its network permissions if you wish.)
- update: for version>=1.1.2, Queryable now gives users the option to choose whether to use wireless data to fetch photos from iCloud. This feature is not mandatory.

As a Chinese indie developer who values privacy, it is very difficult to promote product in English speaking regions. But luckily, when it comes to this app, you dont have to believe me, you can trust science.

4. Any requirements for the iPhone model?
Queryable runs CoreML locally, which means if your iPhone does not support CoreML, you cant use it.
The limitations are:
* iOS 16.0 or above
* iPhone 11 (A13 chip) or later models
* Not tested on iPad or MacOS yet.

5. Issues with iClould
Since it cannot connect to a network, Queryable can only use the cache of the low-definition versions of your local Photos albums if you do NOT allows it connectes to network. This does not affect search accuracy, except that you cannot view the original image in the search results.

6. What if it crashes when building an index ?
Make sure youre iOS 16.0, iPhone 11 or above. Turn off low battery mode and kill the memory-hungry app, then try building the index again.
