Valin is a private memory app for iPhone and iPad that uses on-device AI to help you find the videos, posts, articles, photos, PDFs and notes you have saved across apps.
You save items by tapping Share in Instagram, Safari or another supported app and choosing Valin. It checks video frames, transcribes the audio and reads the caption, then pulls out names, quantities, timings and instructions so you can find them without replaying the video.
Search works by meaning, so you can describe what you remember in your own words. Ask brings together relevant saves to answer a question, with each answer linking to the saved items it used so you can check the details.
Key features include takeaways and summaries for each save, suggested collections for related items, recipe extraction, your own notes and checklists on a save, and comparison of saved options.
It works with apps including Chrome, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Notes, Reddit, Safari, Substack, Threads, TikTok, Voice Memos, X and YouTube. You can import Instagram saved posts and collections, and Safari bookmarks and Reading List.
All AI processing runs on the device, there is no Valin account and no tracking, and the library stays local unless you turn on private iCloud sync. It needs a device with 8 GB of memory and roughly 3.43 GB of model files.
Pricing: currently free through the TestFlight beta, with no account or AI subscription required.
It is suited to people who save lots of content across social apps and the web and struggle to find it again.
