Description
Lokka finds any photo or video from a plain description. Type "receipt from a restaurant" or "dog running on the beach at sunset" and it finds it, even among thousands of photos. You can also chat with your library, like "show me whiteboard notes from meetings" or "find screenshots of flight bookings." An AI vision model runs entirely on your iPhone, so it understands what's in each picture. No cloud, no account, no uploads. Your photos never leave your device.

Could you build this?
Partial The UI and basic integration are standard, but running high-accuracy offline multimodal search and local LLM chat smoothly on-device across thousands of photos/videos requires platform-specific ML hardware acceleration.
What it would actually take: The implementation relies on desktop/mobile frameworks (Electron/Tauri or native Swift) integrating CoreML/ONNX Runtime to execute quantized CLIP models for image embeddings and Whisper for video audio transcription locally. The bottleneck is building an optimized local vector database (such as SQLite-vec or HNSWlib) and managing local memory/compute constraints so background indexing doesn't freeze the host machine.
