PicSeek – Private AI photo search and storage cleaner running fully offline

Summary: PicSeek is a photo manager that uses on-device AI to enable natural language search and identify similar photos for cleanup without cloud uploads. It indexes photos locally using CLIP models to create a vector database for semantic search, ensuring privacy and efficient storage management.

What it does

PicSeek allows users to find photos by describing their content and removes similar or duplicate images to save space. The AI runs entirely on the device, indexing photos with CoreML and storing data in SQLite-vec.

Who it's for

It is designed for users with large photo libraries who want private, offline search and storage optimization without uploading images to the cloud.

Why it matters

PicSeek solves the problem of inefficient photo search and cluttered libraries by providing fast, private, and semantic search alongside smart cleaning features.
