I've been working on https://www.photogenesis.app/

It's an iOS app that applies various generative art effects to your photos, letting you turn your photos into creative animated works of art. It's fully offline, no AI, no subscriptions, no ads, etc.

I'm really proud of it and if you've been in the generative art space for a while you'll instantly recognise many of the techniques I use (circle packing, line walkers, mosaic grid patterns, marching squares, voronoi tessellation, glitch art, string art, perlin flow fields, etc.) pretty much directly inspired by various Coding Train videos.

Direct download link on the App Store is https://apps.apple.com/us/app/photogenesis-photo-art/id67597... if you want to try it out.

* Coming to Android soon too.

Hey, I've been getting into visual processing lately and we just started working on an offline wrapper for Apple's vision/other ML libraries via CLI: https://github.com/accretional/macos-vision. You can see some SVG art I created in a screenshot I just posted for a different comment https://i.imgur.com/OEMPJA8.png (on the right is a cubist plato svg lol)

Since your app is fully offline I'd love to chat about photogenesis/your general work in this area since there may be a good opportunity for collaboration. I've been working on some image stuff and want to build a local desktop/web application, here are some UI mockups of that I've been playing with (many AI generated though some of the features are functional, I realized that with CSS/SVG masks you can do a ton more than you'd expect): https://i.imgur.com/SFOX4wB.png https://i.imgur.com/sPKRRTx.png but we don't have all the ui/vision expertise we'd need to take them to completion most likely.
