For everyone who pauses the telly to ask
Point your phone at the screen and tap once. Hoozat names the actor you are looking at, tells you what you know them from, and lists everything they have ever acted in.
Every answer is sourced, and every source is named.
Three seconds, start to finish
Hoozat finds every face in frame and quietly decides which one you mean — the largest, nearest the middle. It brackets that one and outlines the rest. If it picked wrong, tap the person you meant and the target travels to them.
The picture freezes, the rest of the frame goes soft, and the face you chose is lifted out of it. Only that crop leaves your phone. Nothing is stored anywhere but on your device.
A profile slides up: their photograph, their name, how many acting roles they have, the titles you probably know them from, and a filmography you can filter by year or by film and TV.
Built for the awkward cases
Two people on a sofa. A face you only half recognise. A screenshot from three weeks ago. Hoozat has an answer for each of them.
Two actors in frame is the normal case, not the edge case. Hoozat chooses one, marks it, and outlines everybody else so you can see they are reachable. One tap moves the target, with a tick you can feel.
Every credit, not a top ten. Filter it by year, or down to film, TV or the times they played themselves.
Recognition is not perfect. Say what you are watching, and Hoozat shows you its cast so you can point at the right person yourself.
Kept on your phone, so opening one again is instant, works with no signal, and costs nothing.
Scan straight from your camera roll. Hoozat finds the faces in the picture, lets you choose the one you mean, and asks you to confirm before it spends a scan — because choosing and confirming are two different decisions.
Your camera, your business
Face recognition isn’t perfect and may be less accurate for some people. If this isn’t right, try a clearer, well-lit, front-on photo.
Television, laptop, tablet, a projector at the back of a pub — if there is a face on it and enough light to see it, Hoozat can read it. It also works on a photograph already in your camera roll.
Good, and honest about when it is not. A match Hoozat is less sure of says so on the profile, and every profile carries a way to search the cast of whatever you are watching and pick the right person yourself.
No. There is nothing to sign up for and nothing to log in to. Open it and point it.
Any iPhone running iOS 18.6 or later. It is portrait-only, by design — you hold a phone up at a television one-handed.
A crop of the face you chose is sent once, to identify it. The picture itself stays on your phone, and the only copy that is kept is the small one filed beside a history entry — which is deleted together with that entry.
It takes one tap and about two seconds. Free to try on any iPhone.
