Why Valin exists

Saving is easy. Finding it later is hard.

A useful detail can be buried in a note, a reel, a video, an X post, a thread or that article you saved for later. You remember saving it, but not the app, the title or the exact words.

Maybe you messaged it to yourself or sent it to your partner. But which app was it in? Now you’re searching chats, bookmarks and videos for something you already found.

Our mission

Just save it. Valin does the rest.
You save it in a second. You find it in a moment. Valin keeps everything in between.
No account. No cloud. No one looking over your shoulder.
Valin does all its thinking on your iPhone, so your library is yours the way a notebook is.

Find ideas across your saves.

Ask for quick dinner ideas. Valin brings together relevant recipes from your saves, with sources you can check.

Keep the useful details together.

Revisit the slides in a carousel, read the messages in a saved thread, or turn a recipe into ingredients and steps.

Frequently asked questions

What can I save?

Save videos, posts, links, photos and PDFs. Share from Instagram, Safari, Chrome, Threads, X, YouTube, Substack, Notes, Voice Memos, Reddit, Facebook, LinkedIn and more, or import photos from Photos and PDFs from Files on your iPhone. Search your saves, read their summaries or ask questions about them.

How does Valin understand videos, Reels and Shorts?

Valin reads on-screen text from video frames and images, transcribes the spoken audio, and uses the available text to pull out useful details. That can include ingredients, instructions, places or ideas. The AI processing happens on your iPhone.

Is the AI really on my device?

Yes. Valin runs AI processing on your iPhone and keeps your library there. An internet connection is needed to retrieve source content and download the AI models.

Can I use Valin offline?

Yes. Once the models and saved content are on your iPhone, Ask, Search, Reading, summaries, recipe extraction and collections all work offline.

You still need an internet connection to retrieve new source content, download models or open original websites.

Will on-device AI use more battery?

All AI computation happens on your iPhone. Analyzing videos, transcribing audio and generating answers use extra power, so your battery can drain faster while Valin is processing.

For best performance, keep Valin open in the foreground while it extracts and analyzes new items. iOS can limit background processing. For a large batch, consider plugging in your iPhone.

Do I need an account?

No Valin account is needed. Share from the apps you already use, or import photos and PDFs from your iPhone.

Are there any limits to what I can save?

Most saves work as expected. Some private posts or content behind a sign-in or subscription may not be accessible to Valin.

Where do the answers come from?

From your own saved material. Ask includes numbered citations and source cards so you can check the original context. AI can make mistakes. Open a citation to check the source.

How can I try it?

Requires iOS 26 or later and an iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, or a newer compatible iPhone. Install the beta through TestFlight. The AI model files use roughly 3.43 GB, with extra free space needed for installation, caches and your saves. Processing uses battery and works best with Valin open.
