Workflow
Keyboard first. Mouse optional.
Keeper is keyboard-first. Rate, pick, reject, filter, and switch views with single keys, without leaving the keyboard.
The bottom bar shows available shortcuts at all times. Press / for the full shortcut overlay.
AI Tools
AI that assists, never decides.
Keeper’s AI features are tools to help you make faster decisions—not make decisions for you. No auto-pick, no magic selection. You stay in control.
Face Detection
Automatically detects faces in every photo. Quickly check if eyes are open, expressions are right, and everyone is in frame.
Similarity Grouping
Burst shots and similar frames are automatically grouped together, so you compare side-by-side and pick the best one.
Blur Detection
Coming soonFlags photos that are out of focus or have motion blur, helping you weed out unusable shots in seconds.
Eye Detection
Detects closed eyes and blinks so you can quickly skip the shots where someone wasn’t camera-ready.
Privacy
Local first. No cloud. No login.
Your client photos are sensitive. Keeper never uploads a single file. Everything—AI processing included—runs entirely on your Mac.
