From App Store reviews of Vye

how it works

swipe. duel. crown.

  1. Pick a photo

    Choose any shot from your library. Vye reads its content, mood, and lighting right on the phone.

  2. Get edits made for it

    On-device AI generates a set of distinct edits for that photo. Pull 5, 10, or 15 candidates, or let Flow keep them coming.

  3. Swipe to choose

    Keep what works, skip what doesn't. Finalists face off head to head. Double-tap to crown your winner.

  4. Fine-tune and share

    Dial in the intensity, then adjust exposure, contrast, temperature, tint, vibrance, and saturation to taste.

No fixed batch. Flow keeps generating fresh candidates until you spot the gem, then you stop.

the duel

Keepers face off head to head, two at a time. Comparing two looks is easy. Judging one in isolation is not.
