Lumen 0.1.0

The first release of Lumen: a photo gallery for Android with the smart features of Google Photos and the iPhone Photos app. All of the smart features work on your phone. Nothing leaves your phone.

Highlights

• Smart Search. Find a photo from a description, for example "cat on a sofa".
• Text in photos. Find photos from the words in them. Select and copy text in a photo.
• People. Lumen finds faces and puts the photos of each person together.
• Subtitles. Lumen writes subtitles for the speech in your videos.
• Hidden. Hide photos behind a PIN, a pattern, a password, or your fingerprint. You can also encrypt them.
• No account, no Google Play services, no cloud, no advertisements, and no analytics.

The smart features are optional. Lumen downloads their models only when you ask, about 340 MB or 770 MB. After that, they work without the internet.
