LaundryLens privacy

Updated 14 November 2026. LaundryLens is provided by Matej Kalc as free, MIT-licensed early-beta software. No account, advertising, analytics or background tracking is included.

On your phone

Scanned photos, detected items with their per-item crops, care-label entries, wash plans and History remain in app-private storage. Detection runs on the phone with a local Gemma vision model: after a one-time in-app download of about 2.6 GB, transferred over HTTPS and SHA-256-verified before use, scans work without any backend request. Manual mode works without the model at all. In-app telemetry and scan diagnostics stay on the device and are never uploaded. Removing a scan or clearing app data removes the related photos and records; uninstalling removes app-private data. The downloaded model can be removed in Settings.

Smart Mode (optional)

Smart Mode is off by default. When you enable it in Settings, the photo you scan is sent to the owner's own server for item classification; the server receives that photo and ordinary connection metadata, including your IP address, and processes the request under its operator's handling. If the request fails, the app silently falls back to the on-device scan and no result depends on the server. Disabling Smart Mode stops all photo requests; the app then makes no scan-related network requests.

Downloads and questions

The portfolio website that hosts this APK is a separate web service with its own connection processing; downloading the APK does not send your photos, items or History to it. LaundryLens requires Android 8.0 or later and currently has an English-only interface. Contact matejkalc99@protonmail.com for privacy questions. Include only information needed for your question.
