The problem with best photo pickers

200 stunning shots. Zero of the groom's parents.

Most AI culling tools optimize for one thing: image quality. They give you 200 beautiful photos where the same three people appear in every frame. The quiet uncle, the flower girl, the grandparents who flew in from overseas? Nowhere to be found.

Sift builds albums that tell the whole story. Every key person, every group, every moment gets represented.

Face groups, you set the weights

How it works

From overwhelm to album in three steps.

01

Drop in a folder

Point Sift at any folder. It scans metadata, generates thumbnails, and flags duplicates and garbage: lens caps, motion blur, black frames. Nothing is deleted, just sorted.

~5 min for 10,000 photos

02

Sift sees what you see

Faces are detected and clustered automatically. Every photo gets an 8-dimension aesthetic score covering composition, lighting, color harmony, and emotion. You label the people; Sift learns who matters.

Runs on Apple Silicon, no cloud

03

Build, tweak, export

Set your groups and weights. Sift assembles the best selection in under 5 seconds. Do not like a pick? Swap it and Sift offers the next best alternative. Adjust and re-generate instantly.

Album rebuilds in under 5 seconds

What makes Sift different

Built for quality, not just speed.

8-Dimension Scoring

Composition, lighting, color, emotion, sharpness, exposure, noise, and depth. Scored the way a professional editor thinks.

Nobody Gets Left Out

Weighted face groups ensure every key person is in the album, not just the most photogenic.

Instant Re-Generation

Change a weight, swap a photo, add a group. The album rebuilds in under 5 seconds. Iterate until it is perfect.

Non-Destructive

Sift never deletes anything. Flagged photos go to a reviewable bin. Change your mind anytime.

Optimized for Apple Silicon

MLX-powered inference. Process 10,000 photos in around 2 hours. No GPU rental, no cloud costs.

Private by Architecture

No cloud APIs. No accounts. No uploads. Your photos cannot leave your machine. That is not a setting, it is how it is built.

Built for people who take too many photos

Wedding Photographers

Cull 5,000 shots into a gallery your clients love, in minutes not days.

Travelers

Come home from two weeks abroad and actually do something with the photos.

Event Shooters

Deliver event highlights the next morning, not next month.
