## Description

Point your camera at any building and know what you're looking at.

Archie identifies the architectural style of any building from a photo, then teaches you why. Snap a facade and get the style, the era, the visible features that give it away, and the story behind it. It's like having an architecture professor in your pocket.

HOW IT WORKS 
• Snap a building (or import a photo from your library) 
• Archie's AI matches it against 100 architectural styles, from Gothic to Googie, Brutalism to Beaux-Arts 
• See the features that signal the style: pointed arches, corbels, tracery, each explained in plain language 
• Recognized landmarks get their name, architect, and history 
• Every result includes a note about the exact building in your photo

EXPLORE YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD 
The Map puts 5,700+ noteworthy buildings at your feet across 135 U.S. cities: famous landmarks and hidden gems, each with photos and the story of why it matters. See what's near you, filter for hidden gems, walk over, and photograph a mapped building to collect it. More cities on the way.

LISTEN AS YOU LOOK 
Tap play and Archie reads the story aloud: on your results and on any mapped building. It's a walking tour that starts wherever you're standing.

BUILD YOUR LIFELIST 
Every style you identify unlocks in your LifeList: a field guide of all 100 styles to collect, with real-world examples from around the globe. Spotting styles becomes a game you play with every walk.

YOUR PERSONAL LIBRARY 
Every save keeps the photo and its full analysis, searchable and readable offline. Vacation buildings, hometown gems: your record of everything you've learned.

MADE FOR EXPLORERS 
• Works worldwide, on anything from cathedrals to bungalows 
• Offline queue: snap now, analyze when you're back online 
• City map packs work offline once downloaded 
• Share cards for your best finds 
• No account, no login, no ads

PRIVACY FIRST 
Your photos and identifications stay on your device. Photos are analyzed in the cloud but never stored there. Your coordinates never leave your phone. No account, no ads in the app, and no tracking across other apps: Archie never touches your advertising identifier.

FREE & PREMIUM 
Your first 3 identifications are free, no strings. Archie Unlimited removes the limit and unlocks every place on the map, as a one-time lifetime unlock or a monthly plan. The monthly plan auto-renews until cancelled in your App Store settings. Your Library and LifeList stay fully readable without a subscription.
