FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

FolioSort brings Google-grade photo search and organization fully
on-device — no cloud, no subscription

The indie Mac & Windows app organizes decades of photos into dated
folders, repairs the dates Google Takeout breaks, and now searches
photos in plain language without uploading a single file.

LISBON, Portugal — Indie developer Tiago Trindade today announced
FolioSort 4, the latest release of the on-device photo organizer for
macOS and Windows. FolioSort turns years of scattered photos — SD
cards, old drives, phone backups, Google Takeout archives — into
clean, dated folders the user owns, organized by the metadata inside
each file.

FolioSort's signature fix addresses a problem millions hit when
leaving Google Photos: Takeout exports strip the real capture dates
into JSON sidecar files, so entire libraries arrive "taken today".
FolioSort merges that metadata back into the photos and sorts
everything by the true date, camera and GPS location — with
checksum-verified transfers and full undo.

With version 4, FolioSort adds a complete on-device AI layer: search
photos by describing them in plain language, find the text inside
screenshots and documents, find every photo of a person, group shots
into automatic events, and pick the best frame of a burst — all
running locally on the Apple Neural Engine or Windows ONNX runtime,
with no account and no cloud upload.

"The reason people stay locked into cloud photo services isn't
storage — it's search. I wanted to prove you can have that same magic
on your own machine, on your own folders, with photos that never
leave your computer." — Tiago Trindade, developer of FolioSort

FolioSort is available today for macOS 14+ and Windows 10+ at
