Trace AI Face Scan

Reverse face search in your browser, one photo, no sign-up

What it does

Most reverse face search tools return pages. Trace runs a second round: once the first pass produces a name or a username, it asks the platforms directly — which is how it comes back with actual accounts, not just crawled pages. Every match carries a similarity score and a source link, so you judge, not us. No sign-up, no email, no password. Uploads are deleted after 30 days, the free preview needs no account, credits never expire, and the same engine is a REST API.

AI face scan in your browser. Upload one photo and see where that face appears on the public web, every match scored — spot a catfish or find your own photos. No sign-up, nothing to install, and an API for developers.

Add Trace to your home screen. No app store, no download — it opens full screen with its own icon. To install on iPhone: tap Share in Safari, then Add to Home Screen . Reverse face search , straight from your browser. Upload one clear photo and see where that face shows up across the public web — social profiles, news pages and forums, every match scored for confidence. Verify who you are really talking to, spot a catfish before you meet, or find out where your own pictures are being used.

  • I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.

  • Hey HN, Henry from Cactus here! We previously released Cactus Needle, a 14MB agentic LLM for tool call, device use, and structured extraction for phones, wearables, smart homes, small robots and microcontrollers. We got really great feedback here, and have now incorporated the suggestions to release Needle 2. The whole model is a single 14MB binary that runs a full session in 28MB of RAM; 45m parameters at 2bit compression. Needle hits 500 tokens/sec decode speed on a Raspberry Pi 5, sits between 400-1,500 tokens/sec on VR devices like Meta Quest 3S and Apple Vision Pro, and ranges…

  • I made OwnTime to balance between competing priorities in my life. The idea is based on two main influences: the concept of "roles" from "The 5 Choices" (2015), and my repeated failure to effectively implement time blocking due to the necessary flexibility in my role. The app allows you to define time budgets, which are not much more than a few mutually exclusive countdown timers. The UX is essentially that of a chess clock for an arbitrary number of players with configurable time. The whole point of the app is to kick you out of the running role/priority when its time is up.
