About NeuralBox

NeuralBox is an iOS mobile app designed as a visual second brain for individuals who need to capture and retrieve utility photos such as receipts, screenshots, documents, clothing tags, and product packaging without cluttering the main photo gallery. The app leverages AI image search powered by OpenAI CLIP-based semantic search technology, allowing users to find images using natural-language queries or by visual concepts like objects and scenes. It also includes OCR text search to locate photos by the words inside them, and image similarity browsing to explore related photos by color, texture, and shape. NeuralBox offers fast capture and import tools, including a lock screen widget, Share extension import, and automatic screenshot importing when the app is opened. The app is optimized for organizing and retrieving utility photos efficiently, making it ideal for note-taking, organizing files, and scanning documents on the go.
