An iOS app that identifies antiques and thrift finds from photos, providing era, materials, and honest value ranges with confidence scores.
About Kist
Kist is an iOS app for identifying antiques and second-hand finds from photographs. It provides what the item is, its likely era, the material, and an honest value range with a confidence score instead of a single precise number.
The app emphasizes transparency: it displays a range, always shows how confident the AI model is, and includes a disclaimer on every result stating this is an AI estimate, not a professional appraisal. When the app is uncertain, it returns a wide range and a low confidence score rather than inventing false precision.
The app stores everything in a collection that users own and control. Collections are stored on the device and can be synced privately via iCloud. Users can export their entire collection to CSV or PDF at any time. The app includes a Home Screen widget showing the collection's estimated value at a glance, and a Flip Verdict feature for resale calculations.
Five identifications are free with no credit card required. The Pro tier ($29.99 per year or $4.99 per month) unlocks unlimited identifications, while collection management, export, and widgets remain free on all tiers.

FAQ
- Is Kist free?
- Yes, Kist offers five free identifications with no credit card required. After that, Pro unlocks unlimited identifications. Everything else in the app, including collection management, export, and widgets, remains free forever.
- Do I need an account?
- No. Kist opens directly into your collection with no sign up and no login required.
- Is this an appraisal?
- No. Kist provides an AI estimate, and every result states this clearly. For insurance, probate, or selling items of real value, you should get a certified appraiser instead. Kist helps you determine if something is worth that professional appraisal.
- What is Kist bad at?
- Kist struggles with heavily reproduced categories like brass, silver plate, and items where a 1970s reproduction looks identical to an 1890s original in photos. In these cases, it returns a wide range and a low confidence score, which is the honest answer but not always satisfying.
- Where does my collection live?
- Your collection is stored on your device and synced privately to your own iCloud if you have it enabled. You can export the entire collection to CSV or PDF at any time, even on the free tier.
