ImageSieve reads the visual meaning of your library, then lets you classify, search and explore it without sending a single photograph to the cloud.
Inside the product
See Your Photo Library Clearly
Organize large photo libraries, explore visual relationships, and resolve uncategorized images with focused analysis tools.
Categorize, search and
map your library
Automatic organization, natural-language search, rich photo details, and four interactive views of your collection.
AI Categorization
Describe categories such as "cats" or "scenic mountain landscapes" and let ImageSieve sort matching photos automatically. Start with 35 ready-made categories or create your own.
Search by Meaning
Search with words, a reference image, or both. Type "sunset over the ocean" and see the closest matches first, regardless of filenames or folders.
Automatic Tags
Recognize scenes, animals, faces, text, and objects automatically. Use those tags to search your library and inspect what appears in each photo.
Camera Details
Browse photos by camera, lens, location, and shooting settings, then discover patterns across JPEG, HEIC, and RAW files.
Duplicate Detection
Find duplicate and near-duplicate photos, choose how closely they should match, and compare them side by side before deciding what to keep.
3D Visualizations
Explore categories, tags, locations, and camera settings through four interactive 3D views that reveal patterns across your collection.
Private by Design
Photo analysis runs entirely on your device. Your library is never uploaded to a cloud service, and you do not need an account or API key.
Spotlight & Siri
Find organized photos from anywhere on your Mac with Spotlight, or ask Siri for library statistics and category lists.
How ImageSieve organizes your photos
Three steps from a crowded folder to a useful library
Describe what belongs together
Start with 35 ready-made categories or write your own in everyday language, from "family portraits" to "wildflowers in the garden."
Let ImageSieve understand each photo
ImageSieve compares what it sees with your descriptions. Filenames and folders do not matter, and your photos stay on your device throughout the process.
Review an organized library
The best matches are sorted automatically. Anything uncertain stays in one review queue, so you remain in control of where every photo belongs.
Technology details
ImageSieve supports Google's SigLIP 2 and OpenAI CLIP. Both compare photos with written descriptions locally through Apple Core ML, without uploading your library.
See how your photos relate
ImageSieve groups related photos in an interactive 3D view. Each cluster reveals patterns that are hard to spot in folders. Drag to rotate. Scroll to zoom.
Each point represents a photo. Colors indicate the assigned category. Nearby points have related content, even when they came from different folders.
Try the sieve, right here
Explore a fictional library. Every interaction stays in this browser tab.
No uploads. No account. Sample data only.
