Vibecoded Photon Studio Offers Free Photoshop-Style Editing

The developer, described by Android Authority as a former Photoshop user seeking a viable alternative to Adobe’s Creative Cloud subscription, says the free editor “supports 99% of Photoshop’s features.” The $2,000 figure covered initial tokens and has reportedly increased since the app launched about two months ago. Photon is free to use, with an optional one-time fee to unlock more related goodies, and there is no Android build at present, the report says. It adds that there is no indication an Android version is in development.

Android Authority calls Photon an impressive showcase of vibecoding’s possibilities when the person behind it has a clear vision. It also notes that Photoshop access is tied to Adobe’s larger Creative Cloud subscription, which can be a large investment for users who may not use the full suite.

The same roundup listed Archivist, a web tool that uses AI to rename files with searchable, content-relevant names. Archivist offers naming presets, lets users share files with a single link and is free to try without an account; users must set up login credentials to rename more than 50 files per month.

Knotwork, an open-source Android AI agent available through F-Droid, was also included. It lets users decide which models the agent uses and edit a pipeline graph of typed nodes including input, on-device LLM, optional cloud LLM, tool call, routing, decomposition, evaluation, clarification and output. The app is free, but users must provide their own API keys for cloud or premium models.

Radaric, a content aggregator that pulls social-platform and RSS feeds, was also included. Android Authority described it as the closest product to recreating the essence of TweetDeck. Its website says it “learns what you approve, reject, and explain,” and users can outline their interests, according to the report.
