What it is

Point your phone at the world. Find out what you're looking at.

RealTime AI Camera is a free iPhone app that uses on-device machine learning to identify 601 different object classes in real time. No ads, no subscriptions, no cloud calls. Point your phone at a plant, an animal, a tool — and it tells you what it is.

Built because every other camera app either phones home, costs money, or detects a grand total of 'dog' and 'cat.'
