Description
Photo apps make you choose: upload your library, or lock photos into a folder you can never search again. Safelight does neither. Photos go into an AES-256 vault unlocked by PIN or fingerprint, and you find them by describing them — "passport", "the whiteboard" — because the model runs on the phone. The app requests no INTERNET permission at all. Sharing strips GPS and EXIF without re-encoding: a receipt for an accountant, a listing photo for a buyer. Free, no ads, no account, no sync.

Could you build this?
Partial The UI and vault encryption are standard mobile development tasks, but running fast, zero-network natural language search over photos requires on-device multimodal embedding models and local vector indexing.
What it would actually take: A native mobile app (Swift/Kotlin or Flutter) utilizing SQLCipher with KeyStore/Keychain for AES-256 encrypted storage. Local search requires integrating an optimized, quantized vision-language model (e.g., MobileCLIP or ONNX Runtime Mobile) paired with an embedded vector search engine (such as sqlite-vec or Faiss mobile) tuned for low memory and battery consumption.
