Phokus runs entirely on your computer. Nothing is uploaded, and there's nothing to sign into — your photos and everything Phokus learns about them stay with you.

Coastlines, waves, shells and dunes, matched by visual meaning.
Search by mood, place, subject, or visual idea. CLIP runs on-device, so it still works offline and needs no manual tags.

and Phokus returns coastlines, breaking waves, and shells — ranked by visual meaning with an
on-device CLIP model. No tags required, and it keeps working offline.
Swipe through the core workflows. Each one stays focused on the media, not app chrome.
Wander through related shots, then switch to a chronological timeline.
Rate, favourite, tag, zoom, play video, and find similar images in place.
Confirm byte-identical files and choose what to remove. Nothing is automatic.
Explore groups your library into visual clusters — sets of similar shots you can open and wander, gathered by what they look like rather than where they're filed. A tag cloud surfaces recurring themes, and the Timeline walks everything by the date it was taken.
Open anything full-screen with zoom and pan, set ratings and favourites, edit tags, or search within an image for look-alikes. Video gets a proper player too — scrubbing, volume, speed, and fullscreen.
A three-pass scan — size, then a sample hash, then a full hash — groups byte-identical files so you can review each set and bulk-delete with confidence. Nothing is removed without your say-so.

Turn a folder full of files into a library you can actually explore.
