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

Thanks for your long feedback, I've read it twice.

1.re-run the initial query is a great idea, will try to update in the next version.

2.For a ViT-B-32 CLIP model, it will resize all imagines input to the size by 224x224, which is even smaller than that thumbnails, so this will do no harm to performance.

3.Download imagines from iCloud is easy to implement, however it requires network access. It's a disaster for an app that reads all your photos having access to a network, so I made a compromise here.

4.I've tried dynamic scrolling but it cost more time to fetch results, will consider do that way.

5.Search from a few specific album names is a better experience, will definitely find how to implement it.

Really thanks for your patient feedback!

I think network access would be legitimate if used specifically by the iCloud service to display photos. It probably happens in a separate background process that manages the photo library, not in the app itself. But it's up to you to decide, of course.
