Memoria

What is Memoria?

Memoria is a local search engine for your camera roll, built for iOS and Android. Instead of endlessly scrolling through thousands of photos and videos, you can type a word, a phrase, or a person's name and instantly find the exact media you're looking for. It uses on-device AI to read text in images, transcribe speech in videos, recognize objects, and group faces—all without uploading a single file to the cloud.

Who it's for

• The overwhelmed hoarder — if your camera roll has thousands of screenshots, memes, and documents you can never find again, Memoria turns that chaos into a searchable archive.
• The student or professional — filmed lectures, whiteboard notes, and meeting recordings become text-searchable, so you can locate a specific formula or a spoken name in seconds.
• The privacy-conscious user — anyone uncomfortable with cloud-based photo analysis will appreciate that every scan, transcription, and face cluster happens entirely on their device.

Key features

OCR on photos and video frames

Memoria reads text from documents, whiteboards, screenshots, and memes—even text that appears inside video frames. It supports 7 OCR languages: English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, and Japanese.

On-device audio transcription

Using Whisper, Memoria transcribes speech in your videos, including lectures, meetings, and voice notes. It works in 99+ languages and runs locally, so your conversations never leave your phone.

Face detection and grouping

Memoria automatically detects and clusters faces in your library. Tap a person's name and every photo of them appears instantly, grouped locally without any cloud processing.

Full-text search across everything

The app builds a unified index covering text in images, spoken words in videos, recognized objects, and grouped faces. Search is instant and stays on your device.

What stands out

"Your library is bigger than your memory."

That's the core promise: Memoria doesn't just store your media—it remembers what's inside it. While most photo apps rely on cloud servers for AI features, Memoria runs everything locally, from Whisper transcription to object recognition and face clustering. The only network call is a one-time, optional download of the Whisper model. There's no account, no tracking, and no subscription—just a one-time purchase for Memoria Plus, which unlocks unlimited indexing and future on-device models.

Worth checking out if…

You're tired of digging through your camera roll for that one screenshot, video, or photo and want a fast, private way to find it. Memoria is especially compelling if you value GDPR-by-default privacy, prefer a one-time payment over recurring subscriptions, or regularly capture whiteboards, lectures, and voice notes that you need to search later. It's also a strong fit for anyone who wants face-based photo organization without handing their library to a cloud service.
