FocusSort is built from the ground up for macOS — Metal rendering, local AI inference, and a data model that handles real libraries.
Instant thumbnails, 60fps scroll, and sub-second search — even with 10 million photos on a NAS.
Metal-accelerated rendering keeps your library fluid regardless of size. No spinner, no lag, no excuses.
Works seamlessly with local drives, NAS, external drives, and mixed storage configurations. Your library lives where you put it.
Full-text search across metadata, AI tags, faces, and albums returns results before you finish typing.
Native decoding for major camera RAW formats. No plugins, no third-party codecs required.
Every AI model runs on the Neural Engine. M-series chips get significantly faster inference and lower power usage.
All edits are stored as instructions — your originals are never touched. Export when you're ready.
State-of-the-art models run on-device. No uploads, no API keys, no monthly AI fees. Private by default.
Hash-based exact matching finds bitwise duplicates instantly. Visual similarity clustering finds near-duplicates, burst shots, and near-identical edits.
SigLIP 2 vision embeddings find images that look the same even if they're technically different files — same scene, different exposure.
ArcFace-powered face clustering identifies people across your entire library without cloud processing. Group by person, search by face.
NudeNet classification automatically flags and quarantines sensitive content. Built for professional workflows and shared library management.
NIMA neural image assessment scores photos by aesthetic quality. Surface your best shots from thousands of near-identical frames automatically.
Scene classification and object detection automatically generate searchable tags from image content — no manual metadata work required.
Albums, smart collections, folders, and AI-generated groupings that work the way your brain does.
Rule-based albums update automatically as new photos are imported. Filter by date, rating, tags, faces, camera, lens — or any combination.
Scrub through years of photos by date. Jump to any event instantly. Group by day, month, year, or trip.
All geotagged photos plotted on an interactive map. Click any cluster to explore photos from that location.
Classic 5-star rating plus pick/reject flags for culling workflows. Keyboard-driven for speed.
Export thousands of photos at once with per-destination settings — size, format, quality, watermark, naming convention.
Import doesn't move or copy files unless you ask it to. FocusSort indexes your library where it already lives.
