Features

What Memoria does, feature by feature. Everything runs on your device.

01

Search

  • Full-text search

    Across text in images, words spoken in videos, object labels, person names, places and camera metadata.

  • Suggestions

    As you type, Memoria suggests terms from your own library's vocabulary (never from a remote dictionary).

  • Filters

    Narrow results by photo, video, indexed, not-indexed-yet, needs-reindex, or 'no text found'.

02

Text recognition (OCR)

  • Photos

    Memoria reads the text in every photo, using your device's native engines.

  • Video frames

    Key frames are sampled from videos and processed for text, which is useful for slides, conference footage and on-screen captions.

  • Quality presets

    Three modes (Fast, Balanced and Quality) depending on whether you favor speed or detail.

  • Seven OCR languages

    English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese.

03

Audio transcription

  • Whisper, on-device

    Several model sizes run entirely on your phone, letting you choose the balance between accuracy and disk space.

  • 99+ languages

    Whisper detects and transcribes spoken language automatically.

  • Apple Speech option

    A lighter alternative, with no download, when you'd rather not install a Whisper model.

04

Faces

  • Local detection

    Faces are detected and recognized entirely on your device.

  • On-device clustering

    Memoria groups faces into people. You name and merge the groups; Memoria never sees them.

  • Adjustable threshold

    Tune the grouping tightness: looser to merge variants, tighter for finer distinction.

05

Objects & places

  • Object recognition

    Memoria identifies the objects in your images, with labels in your language.

  • Reverse geocoding

    GPS metadata becomes searchable place names ('Berlin', 'kitchen', 'beach') without sharing your location with anyone.

  • Camera metadata

    Make, model and focal length are extracted and searchable.

06

Library & viewing

  • Pinch density

    From 1 to 5 columns; the grid stays smooth on the largest libraries.

  • Full-screen detail

    Zoom on images, integrated video player, sliding info drawer with extracted text, objects, faces and place.

07

Indexing

  • Background tasks

    Indexing continues even while the app is closed.

  • Battery aware

    Automatic pause on low battery; optional 'only while charging' mode.

  • Honest progress

    An activity bar at the bottom of the screen shows real numbers: 12,403 of 38,210. No vague spinners.
