    Never miss a card.

    Plug in a card and it appears on its own. photodepot checks every file against your project, so you can see at a glance which cards still need ingesting.

  2. 02 / 03

    Never ingest twice.

    Each file is matched against those in your project. Anything already there is set aside, even from another card or another day.

  3. 03 / 03

    Queue it up.

    Line up card after card. Each ingest starts when the last one finishes, and every copy is verified against the original before it counts.

    Similar frames, stacked.

    Bursts and repeated compositions are grouped into stacks by how each frame looks and when it was taken, so you review a moment at once instead of file by file.

  2. 02 / 03

    Start with the keepers.

    Inside each stack, frames with open eyes and sharper focus rank first, and close-ups flag possible closed eyes. The analysis runs on your Mac.

  3. 03 / 03

    Cull together.

    Teammates join from their own Macs on your network. Every pick, reject, and rating is shared with the whole project as it happens.

    Give it shape.

    Build your folders, then select photos and drop them into place. Moves apply directly on disk, sidecars and all, and every one can be undone.

  2. 02 / 03

    Tag in bulk.

    Select as many photos as you need and tag them in one go. Ratings, flags, and tags are saved to XMP as you work.

  3. 03 / 03

    Deliver the finished set.

    Review the complete export before any file is copied, then deliver an organized copy with its XMP sidecars and keep working in the project.

    No duplicate work.

    Everyone works in one shared project and sees each other’s picks, ratings, tags, and folder moves as they happen. When a teammate marks a card culled or organized, the whole team sees it, so nobody repeats work someone else already did.

  2. 02 / 03

    Collaboration without the plumbing.

    One Mac hosts the project and teammates join from their own Macs on your local network. There’s no storage server, network share, or cloud sync to set up, and changes reach everyone as they happen.

  3. 03 / 03

    AI that stays on your Mac.

    Stacks, eye checks, and sharpness ranking run on your Mac with the model bundled in photodepot. Your photographs are never sent to a cloud AI service, and it all works offline.
