Find the photographs that look like this one
Every frame in Peak is indexed by what it shows. Open one and the frames that rhyme with it are already alongside, wherever and whenever they were shot.
Indexed by what it looks like
Peak describes each photograph with a vision model, as a point in a space where pictures that look alike sit close together. Asking for a frame’s neighbours is asking what sits nearby.
The same moment, apart from the resemblance
Ten frames of one moment in a burst and a picture taken years later on the same ridge are both “similar”, and they are different questions. Peak separates them: frames that are nearly identical down to their pixels are grouped as one moment, and the rest are shown as resemblances.
Done in the background
Indexing runs on its own — on Peak’s servers, or from a desktop browser — and the result belongs to the library, so a phone gets the same answers as the computer that did the work.
Duplicates, caught at the door
The same file uploaded twice decodes to the same pixels. Peak recognises it before the upload starts and skips it — on the picture and the exact byte count together, so two different frames of one roll are never mistaken for each other.
