Allow Photos
Grant access to your library so DejaVue can safely work on your device.
Privacy-first iOS photo search
Rediscover Joy
You've taken thousands of photos. Most of them are buried — the bolt you photographed for the hardware store, lost under 400 dog pics. DejaVue finds them. Just type what you remember.
How It Works
AI Indexes Locally
On-device AI builds a private index in the background. No cloud upload.
Search Memories
Type what you remember and instantly jump back into meaningful moments.
Memory Tools You Will Actually Use
Smart Search
Type what you remember — "that café in Portland" or "camping by the river" — and find it in seconds.
On-Device Privacy
Everything runs on your iPhone. Nothing gets uploaded. Works alongside Apple Photos, not against it.
Similar Photos
Find visually related shots to compare memories and pick your favorites.
Duplicates Cleanup
Spot duplicate and near-duplicate photos to tidy your library and save space.
Photo Library Tips
Search tricks that work surprisingly well
Try combinations like "golden hour + city", "birthday cake + candles", or "lake + friends". Add people, place, and mood words together for sharper results.
Organization ideas for huge libraries
Start with duplicates, then create small seasonal albums. Monthly cleanup keeps your library light without losing meaningful moments.
Memory curation prompts
Search for "first day", "old apartment", or "family dinners" and save standout photos into a "Remember This" album for easy revisits.
FAQ
Does DejaVue upload my photos?
No. Photos and search processing stay on-device. DejaVue does not upload your library for search.
Can I search with natural language?
Yes. Type how you remember the moment, such as "picnic by the lake" or "dog on the beach," and DejaVue finds likely matches.
What about very large photo libraries?
DejaVue is designed for large libraries and keeps indexing/search local so your memories stay private and responsive.
