NeuralBox

NeuralBox is an iOS mobile app for individuals who want a visual second brain for capturing and retrieving utility photos such as receipts, screenshots, documents, clothing tags, and product packaging without cluttering the main photo gallery.

Key capabilities include:

• AI image search that supports natural-language queries and finds images based on objects and visual concepts (semantic search).
• OCR text search to locate photos and screenshots by the words inside them.
• Image similarity browsing to explore related photos by color, texture, and shape.
• Fast capture and import tools, including a lock screen widget, Share extension import, and automatic screenshot importing when opening the app.

Pricing: Freemium. Free plan includes AI search, OCR, similarity browsing, local storage, auto-import screenshots, and a quick-add lock screen widget. Plus costs $4.99/month (research brief) or $5.99/month (website) and adds unlimited photos, 50 GB cloud storage, sync across devices, document scanning mode, optimized local storage, and no watermark on shared images.

Notable for focusing on “utility photos” rather than general photo management, and for leveraging OpenAI CLIP-based semantic search technology built by the NeuralCam team.
