Receipts, tickets, documents, screenshots, and duplicates gather in your Library without you filing anything.
Works right away, before the model download.
How it works
Allow your whole library, or only the photos you pick. Lutri reads them where they are and never copies, moves or changes one.
Lutri indexes file names, dates, text and spoken words on your phone. Download the optional 388 MB visual model to add scene and object search. A large library can take time; indexing runs in batches, by default while charging. Adjust the schedule in Settings.
Results appear as you type, from a private index kept on the phone. Open one, share it, or save the search so new matches gather on their own.
Built to stay private
Lutri analyzes your photos, videos and audio on your phone’s processor. Your media, transcripts and searches are not uploaded for analysis.
| What | Does it leave? | What actually happens |
|---|---|---|
| Your photos, videos and audio | Never | Lutri reads them where they are. Audio and its transcribed words stay on the phone too. |
| What you search for | Never | Searches are matched on the phone. There is no server to send them to. |
| The search index | Never | It is a private file inside the app, kept out of iCloud and Google backups. |
| Purchases | Via the store | The App Store or Google Play takes payment. RevenueCat loads plan options and confirms the plan. It receives a random install ID, the purchase receipt and standard technical details such as an IP address, never your photos. |
| The search model | Downloaded once | One file of about 388 MB comes from Hugging Face. It is checked against a fixed checksum before it is used. |
Pricing
The free version has no time limit. Index up to 150 media items, including optional Android voice memos, and see the top 25 search results. Upgrade when you want the whole library.
