BoxPick Keeps Photo Search on the Machine
An offline Windows app that lets people search personal photo libraries with natural language, faces, places, moods, duplicates, and text found inside images.
Field notes
BoxPick builds a local database from selected folders, combining semantic image embeddings with face clustering, offline place lookup, mood classification, and OCR. Its duplicate workflow distinguishes identical files, resized or re-saved copies, shared shutter presses across RAW/JPEG/HEIC, and near-identical bursts, with a suggested keeper and estimated reclaimed storage. The listed minimum is 8 GB of RAM, while the first launch downloads roughly 580 MB of models.
