What is NeuralBox?
NeuralBox is a mobile app that acts as your visual second brain, designed to help you remember anything you see by capturing photos and retrieving them later using AI. You simply drop photos of everything that catches your eye or seems remotely useful into NeuralBox, from receipts and screenshots to documents, clothes, and product packaging. The app eliminates the need for folders, organization, or tagging by using state-of-the-art AI search capabilities.
Key features include AI Image & OCR Search that indexes both objects (semantic image search) and text content within images, allowing you to find specific objects or text snippets by typing a simple description. NeuralBox also offers image similarity browsing that finds photos visually similar in color, texture, and shape. Multiple capture methods include direct photo capture, screenshots via Share extension, gallery import, document scanning mode, and a lock screen widget requiring just two taps under three seconds. Auto-importing screenshots automatically bring every screenshot into NeuralBox when you open the app.
NeuralBox provides efficient on-device and cloud storage for photos, enabling countless utility images without worrying about device space. The app was specifically designed to house your 'utility photos' - spontaneous snaps that don't fit in your regular gallery - keeping your primary gallery clear for special life moments. It is ideal for professionals who struggle to save important data for long-term retrieval, anyone who accumulates random miscellaneous photos over time, and users who want to unclutter their main photo gallery while maintaining effortless access to receipts, documents, book pages, and inspirational designs.
The app is available exclusively on iOS, requiring iOS 16.4 or higher, and is only available in English. NeuralBox transforms your smartphone into a dynamic second brain with lightning-fast AI search capabilities, making retrieving vital documents a breeze and allowing you to get back to tasks quickly without data loss or fragmentation concerns.

How does AI Image & OCR Search work?
NeuralBox's cutting edge AI models delve into the depths of your images, indexing both the objects through semantic image search and the text content within them through OCR. Whether you're looking for a specific object or a snippet of text, all it takes is a simple description - just type in the first thing that comes to mind about the image or memory you have of the thing.
Do I need to organize photos into folders?

Auto-Importing Screenshots also Seamlessly imports every screenshot automatically when you open the app.
What is image similarity browsing?
Image similarity browsing mirrors the human brain's natural approach to organizing information.

This intuitive feature offers a unique, efficient way to browse and connect photos in your NeuralBox.
How does NeuralBox help unclutter my main photo gallery?
NeuralBox was designed to be the home for your 'utility photos' - those spontaneous 'this could be handy' or 'that's interesting' snaps that don't quite fit in your regular gallery. No more sifting through vital receipts, interesting book pages, or inspirational designs to find treasured memories. With NeuralBox, keep your primary gallery clear for life's special moments while freely capturing as much as you want.
