Nothing leaves your phone.
We're putting the very simple, very honest case for why Vin & Miles is built the way it is — and why most of what passes for "privacy-first" in dealership tools is not.
What we do
Vin & Miles uses Apple's on-device machine-learning stack (Vision Framework + Core ML) to recognize photos that look like inventory work — VIN plates, odometer readouts, stock-number stickers. That recognition runs on the silicon inside your iPhone. The model lives in the app bundle. The work happens on the same chip that runs Face ID. Nothing about your photos crosses the network.
When you tap delete, we hand the deletion request to Apple's Photos framework, which performs the actual removal. We never copy, mirror, or transmit any image. We don't even see filenames.
What we do
- Run a vehicle-photo classifier on-device using Core ML
- Read your camera roll with Apple's PhotoKit (with your permission)
- Show you what we found before deleting anything
- Honor your tap — and only your tap — for any deletion
- Receive an anonymous purchase receipt from Apple when you subscribe
What we don't do
- Upload your photos to any cloud, ever
- Train a model on your data
- Sell, rent, or share image content with anyone
- Send analytics about which photos you keep or delete
- Require an account, an email address, or a login
The dealership world has a data problem.
Half the apps a salesperson uses every day — CRM, inventory, DMS plug-ins, photo cataloguers — quietly slurp data off the phone and ship it to a server somewhere. Sometimes the server is the OEM. Sometimes it's a third-party analytics company you've never heard of. Sometimes it's just "the cloud."
Vin & Miles exists because that's the wrong default. The job — clearing inventory photos out of your camera roll — does not require sending those photos to anyone. So we don't.
