APPS WE LOVE

Discover and Collect Inspiring Images

An elegant way to create your next mood board.

Designed to inspire your creativity (not endless scrolling), Cosmos aggregates beautiful photographs curated by the app’s very discerning community.

What we love: Whether we were looking to create a mood board of funky ceramics, Swiss typography, or ’70s fashion, the app’s AI-powered search engine delivered. Each image’s caption includes helpful attribution. Looking for photographs with a dominant hue? Try searching by hex value.

Explore posts (called Elements) on the Home tab, or browse mood boards (called Clusters) created by other users on the Search tab.

Quick tip: If you prefer to hide images that are likely AI-generated, head to the app’s settings and tap Content Filtering. There you can opt to blur those images in your feed or have them not appear at all.

Meet the creator: Cosmos was developed by a diverse team spanning art, design, and engineering. “Relevance, engagement, and beauty—that’s the triangle we’re always optimizing,” engineer Griffin Miller says.
