Stop scrolling. Just post the good ones.
300 photos from the trip, 9 spots in the group chat. Clear Pick is an on-device AI photo picker that scores them on your phone and tells you which 9 to post. Photos stay on the device.
Get in touchHow Clear Pick picks
Two scoring passes, both running locally on your iPhone. No upload, no account, no telemetry on the photos themselves.
On-device, full stop
The vision-language model runs on your phone. No upload, no account, nothing about your photos sent anywhere.
Looks at the right things
Sharpness, eyes open, framing, expression. The same things you would check yourself, just faster.
Burst-aware
A dozen near-identical shots from one moment collapse into a single pick. Your top 9 will not all be the same pose.
Two passes, on purpose
Apple Vision does a quick pass over everything. The heavier on-device VLM only re-scores the candidates that look promising — otherwise the precision pass would take all day.
Common questions
Does Clear Pick upload my photos?
No. Both the vision model and the language model run on your iPhone. Photos are read directly from the system Photos library and never leave the device. There is no server, no account, no opt-in "share for better results" toggle.
How does it decide which photo is "best"?
Each photo gets scored on five dimensions: sharpness, exposure, composition, faces and expression, and overall aesthetic. You can re-weight them with the radar slider — lean on faces for portraits, on composition for landscapes — and the ranking updates without re-running the model.
What about ten near-identical burst shots?
Clear Pick clusters bursts and time-adjacent shots, so a 12-shot burst becomes one pick instead of twelve. Your top 9 will be 9 different scenes, not the same pose nine times.
How fast is it?
The fast pass (Apple Vision) is roughly 150 ms per photo. The precision pass (on-device VLM) is around 50 seconds per photo on iPhone 15 Pro, but only runs on the top candidates — typically 10 to 30 photos out of a few hundred.
Which devices does it support?
iPhone and iPad running iOS / iPadOS 18 or later. The full AI scoring mode needs 8 GB of RAM (iPhone 15 Pro and newer, or any M-series iPad); on smaller-RAM devices it falls back to the fast scoring engine automatically.
