Do you believe in magic? Because what this application will be able to do Open source it is for you the closest thing to magic that you can meet! 😁 Leaving jokes aside, TIDY is truly a very interesting application that will be able to find images on your smartphone starting only from a search text.
Let's try to explain ourselves better and see for a moment how this application works. Once you have installed TIDY you can choose which images from your smartphone need to be analysed: you can choose them one by one or via entire albums. Don't worry: it's all strictly offline! TIDY Indeed does not require any internet access.
TIDY: Search images with words and phrases
Once you have fed it your photographs you will be able to find them using only a few keywords (unfortunately only in English for now). Basically after your photographs have been analyzed you can write the word “although” and you will be shown all the photographs containing a bench. If you know English well you can also formulate real sentences, one of the examples given on the page source code it is in fact: “Black cat hiding behind the car tires“.
Obviously if you have a lot of photographs and want to have them all analysed, the first indexing could take a little while, so be patient and you will certainly be rewarded.
Since everything is offline as previously mentioned, the application will take up quite a bit of space (we're talking about over 150MB) but it is thanks to this that it doesn't have to connect to the internet with various risks for your privacy and security.
Search images from images
Another very nice and interesting feature is the search starting from an image. The image must first be inside the index created, then you can click on it and press on Image to image search. You will thus be shown all the photos that in some way resemble the one selected, which therefore have elements in common.
We tried this application a little bit, as always, before telling you about it and we were pleasantly impressed. A total of around 1000 photos were analyzed in less than two minutes and the searched words almost always worked well. Obviously it's not perfect but the fact of using free libraries (OpenAI CLIP) particularly fascinated us.
