A four-minute tour first, then one short video for each part of the app. Everything you see runs on the computer in front of you — the photos never leave it.

These videos play from YouTube Nothing is loaded from YouTube until you press play. When you do, that one video loads from youtube-nocookie.com: YouTube, run by Google, receives your IP address and details of your browser, and may store cookies or similar data on your device. Pressing play is your consent for that video; the next one asks again. Details: Privacy · Datenschutz.

**A four-minute tour** Everything the app does, in under four minutes: process a folder, name the people it finds, browse the Organizer and the viewer, filter, search the text inside photos, tag, find events and duplicates, share with faces blurred, make B&W and retro copies, and write it all back into your files. Every step runs on your own computer.

**Processing your photos** Add folders to a project and press Process New Files: the app finds faces, objects, text, colours, duplicates and events, all on your own computer. Your photos stay exactly where they are.

**Identify people in your photos** The app sorts every face it found into one group per person. Remove the odd ones out, say who it is, and Classify unassigned learns from your answers to tag the faces still loose.

**The Organizer: by folder, person or event** Your whole library with three ways in: by folder, by person, or by event — the trips the app found from when and where each photo was taken.

**Filters: people, places, colours and more** Narrow the grid to exactly the photos you want: a person and a place, two colours together, quality, objects, events and tags. Match ALL or ANY.

**Search by name, or by the text in your photos** Search finds photos by name, and by the text inside them — signs, menus, receipts, whiteboards — read on your own computer by the operating system’s text recognition. The inspector shows what it read.

**Tag your photos with your own words** Tags are your own words for anything the app can't see. Tag one photo or a whole selection at once, and find them again with the Tags filter.

**The inspector and full-size viewer** Everything the app knows about a photo: when and where it was taken, who is in it, the objects and colours it found, the text it read, and a caption written on your computer by a local AI model. Double-click for the full-size viewer with every named face labelled.

**Find and remove duplicate photos** Full version Near-copies are grouped into sets with the best shot ticked to keep. True duplicates and merely similar frames are marked apart, and Delete similar always asks first.

**Events and places, found offline** The app finds your trips and days out from when and where each photo was taken, and names each one from its place and dates. Every place is looked up offline, from a database inside the app.

**Fix dark, blurry or tinted photos** Full version The Quality filter finds photos that need help — too dark, too bright, blurry, flat or tinted. Fix quality writes corrected copies beside the originals.

**Fix sideways photos and scans** Full version The app spots sideways photos by looking for faces at every angle. Turn them losslessly with the orientation tag, or rotate the pixels themselves.

**Share photos with faces blurred** Full version Share safely makes copies with every face blurred except the people you choose, and can strip location and camera data too.

**Export photos to another format** Full version Hand photos over in another format — a library of iPhone HEICs as ordinary JPEGs, say. Choose the format, the quality and where the copies go. The originals are never touched.

**Black & white and retro copies** Full version Twelve looks — black & white, toned and vintage colour — previewed live, with film grain, a vignette or an instant-photo frame. The copies join your library beside the originals.

**Enlarge old photos with a local AI upscaler** Full version Enhance enlarges small or old photos four times with an AI upscaler that runs on your own computer. It takes a while on a CPU — the video is sped up.

**Rename photos from date, place and people** Full version Build file names from each photo's own details — date, place, people — and preview every new name before anything changes. Faces, tags and places travel with the file.

**Write names and tags into your photo files** Full version Names, tags and captions live in the app until you write them into the photo files, as ordinary metadata other software can read.

**Lock your originals with read-only mode** One switch locks your originals: with it on, nothing the app does can change a photo file. Copies and exports still work.

**Settings, and light or dark theme** Face recognition, processing, quality fixes, captions and places, all in one place — and a dark or light theme for your room.

Then try it on your own photos

The free trial is the full application on 300 of your photos. It finds and names faces, sorts, filters and searches exactly as the videos show; what it will not do is write to your files — renaming, deleting, copying and exporting are what buying unlocks.
