Search That Gets You

Traditional photo apps make you remember filenames, folder structures, or dates. Orbyte is different. Just describe what you’re looking for in plain language, and Orbyte will find it.

Orbyte reads the actual content of your photos and videos - the scenes, objects, faces, and moments - so your search can be as natural as talking to a friend. You’re not searching for “IMG_20240615.jpg.” You’re searching for “sunset at the beach” or “the kids playing in snow.”

Try searches like:

  • “sunset at the beach”
  • “kids playing in snow”
  • “that recipe I photographed last month”
  • “dog wearing a hat”
  • “birthday cake”
  • “mountain hiking trip”
  • “wedding ceremony”
  • “Sarah laughing”

The more descriptive you are, the better Orbyte understands what you’re after. But even simple searches work - just type “beach” or “birthday” and see what comes up.

Orbyte looks at the visual content of every photo and video in your library. When you search, it matches your description to what it sees - the people, places, objects, actions, and scenes. So “sunset” might return beach sunsets, mountain sunsets, city sunsets, or dramatic orange skies - whatever Orbyte recognizes matches that description.

Found a search that’s perfect? You can save it. Once you save a search, it becomes a Capsule - a smart album that automatically updates with new photos that match. For example, save a search for “birthday parties” and Orbyte will automatically add new birthday photos to that Capsule as you upload them.

  • Be descriptive - Instead of “dog,” try “golden retriever running in park” or “dog on beach.”
  • Try different phrasings - If “kids playing” doesn’t work, try “children laughing” or “kids at the playground.”
  • Combine ideas - Search for people + places + things. “Sarah at the lake” or “grandma with flowers.”
  • Be specific about time - “Last summer’s camping trip” or “winter break 2024” helps narrow it down.
  • Search for feelings - “Happy moment,” “funny photo,” or “peaceful landscape” work too.

Don’t worry about getting the search exactly right. Orbyte’s search is built to understand what you mean, even if you’re not using exact keywords.
