HyeAn finds images in YOUR own library from a plain sentence — type "a potion that restores HP" and get the right icon instantly. Works for game assets and real photos, in ~80 languages. A Unity editor plugin assigns the matched sprite directly; a REST API covers everything else (AI agents welcome). Privacy-first: originals never leave your machine — only 256px thumbnails are indexed. Free tier, flat pricing, unlimited searches.

Game dev from S.Korea. I ship small Steam and Nintendo Switch games, and my asset library grew to ~13k images. Finding "that one icon" became the slowest part of my day.
HyeAn indexes your images (only 256px thumbnails leave your machine — originals stay local) and lets you search them with a sentence, in ~80 languages. There's a Unity editor plugin that assigns the matched sprite directly, and a REST API.
Under the hood: multilingual image+text embeddings with an AI captioning pass on a serverless GPU — plus more retrieval tuning than I'd like to admit.
FastAPI backend, plain-HTML frontend.
The landing page has a no-signup live demo.
Things I'd love feedback on: queries that fail, whether the privacy model (thumbnails-only) is convincing, and pricing sanity (flat plans by library size, unlimited searches).

One thing that would make this even better for me would be letting me tag or favorite results right in the search panel, so when I find a great icon I can mark it and come back to it later instead of digging through Unity again. Would save a lot of time on bigger projects.

@suattopaldj7i Love this idea — thank you, Suat! You're spot on: on bigger projects,
re-finding "that icon I picked yesterday" becomes its own search problem.
A favorites/pin list right in the search panel (and in the Unity window)
is going on the roadmap. Good foundation for it too — HyeAn already
remembers your confirmed picks to improve matching, so favorites can
build right on top of that.
Thanks for giving it a real try 🙏

searched "rusty sword" in my messy asset folder and it actually pulled up the right sprite in seconds, way faster than digging through folders by hand. love that the originals stay local too.

@ymet_k64132 Thank you Kıymet! "Messy asset folder" is exactly who this is for —
nobody should have to remember where icon_0473 lives. 😄
And yes, local-first is a hard rule: only 256px thumbnails ever
leave your machine. Glad it found your rusty sword!
Report
Typed a quick description of a rusty sword icon and it pulled the exact sprite I'd been hunting for. Loved that nothing leaves your machine.

@eymen4ufh Thanks Eymen, that's exactly the moment we built it for! 🙏
Small update since launch: HyeAn now has two siblings — Cheongmyeong
(same idea for sound effects) and Hwiyeong (for VFX/particles).
One library each, searchable by plain description.
