Personal Eyes

Point, capture, and hear what’s in front of you, on-device AI for blind and low-vision users. Private. No cloud upload.

Personal Eyes helps blind and low-vision users understand what’s in front of them using the iPhone camera and on-device AI.

Open the app and the camera turns on. A live object box and spoken direction cues (Left, Right, Up, Down) help you center a subject. Tap the shutter or turn on auto-capture and Personal Eyes describes what the photo shows: people, objects, animals, or the scene. Useful readable text (signs, labels, prices) is mentioned only when it’s actually there.

Designed for listening • Clear spoken answers you can Hear Again • Soft aiming sounds with stereo pan • VoiceOver-friendly controls and a toolbar mute • First-launch tutorial with a practice capture

Built for privacy • Vision and Apple Intelligence run on your device • No images are uploaded to our servers • Camera is the only sensitive permission

Options you can tune • Auto-capture when centered • Aiming sounds and direction cues • Detailed or short spoken answers • Optional visible-text reading • Custom questions (when Apple Intelligence is available)

Personal Eyes is made for everyday independence, identify what’s nearby, then keep going to the next capture.
