Hi everyone,

I’m building Vissulo, a mobile AI photo editing app focused on private, on-device editing and a no forced login experience for free users.

The idea is simple: open the app, edit your photos, export your result, and avoid unnecessary account setup unless you actually need Pro features or purchase restoration.

A big part of Vissulo’s story is vibe coding.

I’ve built most of the app through AI-assisted development, using free tiers, free models, trials, cooldown-limited tools, local models, and experimental AI coding workflows. During development, I used tools and models from Claude, OpenAI/GPT, Gemini, Qwen, DeepSeek, Kimi, Xiaomi MiMo, OpenCode, and other AI coding assistants.

Because of these limits, development has been slower than it could have been with paid professional tools. But it also pushed me to test many different models and use each one where it worked best: coding, debugging, UI planning, architecture, optimization, research, writing, and problem solving.

For me, Vissulo is not only a photo editing app. It is also an experiment in how far a solo creator can push AI-assisted app development with limited resources.

The product direction is built around three main ideas:

On-device AI where possible Many AI photo apps rely on cloud processing, which often means uploading photos to remote servers. Vissulo is being designed so photo editing and AI image processing can happen directly on the device as much as possible.
No forced login for free editing Free users should be able to install the app, edit photos, and export without creating an account. Login would mainly be needed for Pro access, purchase restoration, and account-based features.
A practical creator-focused editor I’m a photographer and videographer, so the goal is not just to add random AI tools. I want Vissulo to feel useful for real editing work: portraits, social media content, product photos, cinematic images, and everyday photos.

Vissulo is currently around 70% complete. Most of the essential tools have already been added, and the project is now in the polishing stage: improving tool quality, fine-tuning AI results, refining the UI, optimizing performance, and preparing for release.

The app already includes traditional editing controls such as exposure, brightness, contrast, highlights, shadows, saturation, warmth, tint, sharpness, clarity, dehaze, grain, vignette, blur, fade, chromatic aberration, and color adjustments.

It also supports cinematic filters, film-inspired looks, mood presets, custom LUTs, and creative color grading.

On the AI side, Vissulo includes and continues to improve tools such as background blur, background cut, image upscale, low-light enhancement, noise reduction, smart depth effects, portrait enhancement, beauty retouch, face reshape, body reshape, skin smoothing, makeup-style effects, and manual warp tools.

One of the key parts of the app is Beauty Studio. The focus is not to make people look fake or overprocessed. The goal is natural, controlled, and realistic portrait editing.

Vissulo currently supports 10 languages: English, Azerbaijani, Turkish, Russian, Spanish, French, Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, and Hindi. The goal is to expand this to 20+ languages later.

There is no public build yet, so I’m not asking for app testing feedback right now.

At this stage, I’d mainly appreciate feedback on the concept, positioning, and product direction:

Does an on-device AI photo editor with no forced login for free editing sound useful?

Which features would matter most to you?

Would privacy, speed, offline/local processing, or pricing matter more than cloud-based AI quality?

What would make you want to try the first public build when it is ready?

Thank you for reading.
