Questions, answered

01What is Queryable?

Queryable is an iPhone app that lets you search your photo library with natural-language descriptions or a reference photo. Its core AI index and search run on-device.

02Does Queryable upload my photos?

No photo library is uploaded to a Queryable server for indexing or search. Make cloud-only items local through Apple Photos before Queryable’s network-disabled index request.

03Does it work offline?

After usable image data and the on-device index are available, semantic search works without an internet connection. Prepare cloud-only items through Apple Photos first.

04What iPhone version does it require?

The current App Store release requires iOS 18.0 or later. A newer device is recommended for faster initial indexing.

05Is Queryable free?

Queryable is currently a one-time paid download, not a subscription. The US App Store price was $4.99 when this page was updated; regional pricing can differ.

06What is 寻隐?

寻隐 is the separate Chinese edition of Queryable, with Chinese App Store metadata and localization for users in mainland China.
