- Designers and researchers collecting visual references
- Worth noticing
- The page says image search can identify colour, subject, and text locally, without requiring tags.
Field notes
The sample workspace shows four named drop zones—Unsorted, Research, Type, and Print—and a 12-item collection, though the page explicitly labels its images as placeholders. The product description says saved files remain on the Mac with their source page and save date; it also describes local search across colour, subject, and text, plus PDF contact sheets of up to sixteen items per page.
