Reply to comment by pridkett in [P]Run CLIP on your iPhone to Search Photos offline. by RingoCatKeeper

It's an interesting idea to synchronize the indexes for different devices, however anything related with network connection is a disaster of an app that reads all you photos. Maybe there exists a better way to do this.

On the issue of running on M2, I'll check it out later.

Your project sounds interesting, please get me noticed when there is a product.

That's why I was suggesting just saving the index to iCloud files. You're not providing the synchronization nor do you need to provide servers to handle more people. The data stay secure in iCloud.

I also want to add that I really like how you've managed to do this in a way that is privacy centric. It also has a nice side effect of making things much more scalable - you just need to provide someplace to download the models, which are infrequently needed (likely only on a new device)?

I trust iCloud a whole lot more than I trust a random service to store my content. I also trust iCloud more than Google Drive. I also have all my photos in iCloud - so yes, I trust iCloud.
