A fully offline semantic search app for your phone’s photos and videos. Type “dog at the beach” or “handwritten notes” and Sift finds it by meaning, including the exact moment inside a video, using a self-quantized MobileCLIP2 dual encoder running natively via LiteRT/TensorFlow Lite. No cloud, no account, no API cost, and no NPU required: developed and tested end-to-end on a budget Android device (Galaxy F22, Helio G80, 4 GB RAM).
