Auto-sorting collections
Take a photo of an object and Loot identifies it, cuts out the background, and places it into the appropriate collection without manual sorting.
Loot
Loot is an iPhone app for photographing real-world objects, automatically sorting them into collections, and sharing those collections with friends. It also supports web publishing and an on-device AI mode.
Overview
Loot is an iPhone app for collecting real-world objects by photographing them. Point the camera at something you like, tap the shutter, and the app recognizes the object, removes the background, and files it into the right collection.
The product is framed as a “social network for stuff” rather than a general social feed. It is designed for people who want to build collections around specific interests, share those collections with friends, and publish them to the web when needed.
Features
AI background removal
Captured items are turned into clean sticker-like cutouts rather than kept as ordinary camera-roll photos, which makes collections easier to browse and share.
Map of every find
Loot can map finds to where they were taken, creating a location view of the objects you have collected over time.
Shared collections with notifications
Invite friends into a collection and get an alert when they add something new, so the collection updates as a shared activity.
One-tap web publishing
Any collection can be published to the web with one tap, making it easy to share a collection outside the app.
Cloud or on-device AI
The press kit says Loot uses cloud AI by default for sharper results, with a fully on-device mode available on iPhone.
Use cases
Collect objects while you are out
Use Loot on a walk, at a park, or while traveling to capture objects you notice and keep them in a visual record organized by collection.
Build a shared interest collection
Use a shared collection with friends or family when everyone is adding the same kind of thing, such as plants, street finds, or memorabilia.
Share a collection publicly
Publish a collection to the web when you want other people to view a curated set of finds without installing the app.
Track where items were found
Use the map view to revisit where specific finds were captured, which can help with trips, neighborhood exploration, or ongoing collecting projects.
Keep captures on device
Choose on-device mode if you want captures to stay on your iPhone instead of using cloud AI processing.
