- Worth noticing
- The page says nothing is deleted automatically; items a user removes go to the trash and can be restored.
Field notes
The described workflow starts with an Inbox: users drop in material from old phones, external drives, and WhatsApp folders, without first sorting folders or renaming files. The page says the software sets aside duplicates and blurry shots, adds dates, places, and named faces, and leaves deletion decisions to the user. It offers a Windows download, says the free tier covers up to 5,000 photos, and presents a one-time licence rather than a subscription.
