Safety
Built to keep your photos safe.
Built so nothing is lost.
Built so that no photo is lost or overwritten: every move is checked, logged and can be undone.
It asks first.
Built to ask you before it writes to an external drive, with a red warning.
It stays on your Mac.
Your photos, faces and names stay on your Mac. Two exceptions: the small app downloads its add-on once, and the optional Claude connector, off by default, sends Claude what you let it see.
