Our apps
Two apps. One home for your photos.
One finds the photo you’re thinking of. The other gets it off your iPhone. Use either on its own, or both together.

Better together
From your iPhone to “found it” in four steps.
PixelBeam saves your iPhone photos to a folder on your PC. Candidra notices that folder and offers to add it, so new photos show up in your library on their own.
Plug in
Connect your iPhone by cable, or Wi-Fi after the first time.
PixelBeam copies
Only the new photos, originals kept.
A folder on your PC
Plain files you own. No special format.
Candidra finds it
Search them in your own words.
How we build
Your photos are personal. We built for that.
It stays on your PC
Candidra’s AI runs on your computer, and PixelBeam saves straight to a folder you choose. There’s no PaperNewt cloud to upload to.
Pay once, or not at all
Candidra is free. PixelBeam is $4.99 once for two PCs, with a free demo first. No subscriptions.
Signed and checked
Every installer is digitally signed, and updates install only after their signature and checksum check out.
