About

From the App Store Source
Point your camera at any building and know what you're looking at. Archie identifies the architectural style of any building from a photo, then teaches you why. Snap a facade and get the style, the era, the visible features that give it away, and the story behind it. It's like having an architecture professor in your pocket. HOW IT WORKS • Snap a building (or import a photo from your library) • Archie's AI matches it against 100 architectural styles, from Gothic to Googie, Brutalism to Beaux-Arts • See the features that signal the style: pointed arches, corbels, tracery, each explained in plain language • Recognized landmarks get their name, architect, and history • Every result includes a note about the exact building in your photo EXPLORE YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD The Map puts 5,700+ noteworthy buildings at your feet across 135 U.S. cities: famous landmarks and hidden gems, each with photos and the story of why it matters. See what's near you, filter for hidden gems, walk over, and photograph a mapped building to collect it. More cities on the way. LISTEN AS YOU LOOK Tap play and Archie reads the story aloud: on your results and on any mapped building. It's a walking tour that starts wherever you're standing. BUILD YOUR LIFELIST Every style you identify unlocks in your LifeList: a field guide of all 100 styles to collect, with real-world examples from around the globe. Spotting styles becomes a game you play with every walk. YOUR PERSONAL LIBRARY Every save keeps the photo and its full analysis, searchable and readable offline. Vacation buildings, hometown gems: your record of everything you've learned. MADE FOR EXPLORERS • Works worldwide, on anything from cathedrals to bungalows • Offline queue: snap now, analyze when you're back online • City map packs work offline once downloaded • Share cards for your best finds PRIVACY FIRST Identifying a building needs no account. Photos are analyzed in the cloud but never stored there. If you allow location, your position and the direction you're facing travel with the photo only to work out which building it is, and they aren't stored. Sign in only if you want your saves backed up; then only what you save is stored, for you alone, until you delete it. No ads in the app, and no tracking across other apps. Archie never touches your advertising identifier. FREE & PREMIUM Your first 3 identifications are free, no strings. Archie Unlimited removes the limit and unlocks every place on the map, as a one-time lifetime unlock or a monthly plan. The monthly plan auto-renews until cancelled in your App Store settings. Your Library and LifeList stay fully readable without a subscription.
