Could you build this?
Partial A basic UI with standard iOS PhotoKit calls is easy to vibe-code, but efficient on-device duplicate/similarity detection across large photo libraries requires tuned perceptual hashing or neural embeddings without causing memory pressure or UI lag.
What it would actually take: The app requires native Swift/iOS PhotoKit integration with background processing. The hard part is running perceptual hashing (e.g., pHash/dHash) or MobileNet/CoreML vector embeddings across tens of thousands of local media assets efficiently while adhering to iOS background execution limits and memory constraints, requiring native iOS systems and computer vision optimization experience.
