Smarter Search · Pro
Describe it. Find it.
An optional on-device model understands whole scenes. Ask for a red car at night or a cake with candles, and Lookpix finds the photos that show it, even when nothing was ever labelled.
- Whole descriptions, not just single words
- Runs entirely on your iPhone
- A one-time download you can delete in Settings at any time

Lookpix looks at your photos
While Lookpix is open, it prepares each photo for describing, on your iPhone.

Describe what you see
“people at a temple”, “red car at night”, “cake with candles”.
How it works
Smarter Search uses SigLIP, an image and text model by Google released under the Apache License 2.0. It turns each photo and your description into numbers and finds the closest matches, all on your iPhone.
Private by design
The model is downloaded once from Hugging Face. As with any download, Hugging Face sees standard request details such as your IP address. No photos, text or searches are ever sent.
