About

FolioSort reads the EXIF data embedded in every photo or video and automatically moves files into a folder structure you define — by date, camera model, GPS city, lens, ISO or any combination. Key features: • Smart Folder Templates — use tokens like {YYYY}, {MM}, {Camera}, {City} to build any folder hierarchy automatically • GPS Reverse Geocoding — reads GPS coordinates and resolves them to city and country folder names using Apple's CLGeocoder. No API keys needed. • Regex Mass Rename — find and replace with capture groups, 7 naming patterns and live preview • Events — define time blocks (e.g. "Ceremony: 14:00–15:30") and route every photo from every camera into the right folder by EXIF timestamp. Built for wedding, sports and event photographers. • Integrity Verification — every transfer verified with XXHash64 or SHA-256 checksums • Full Undo • Cloud & NAS Support • Google Photos Takeout • Unlimited files, RAW formats and cinema RAW (Blackmagic BRAW, RED R3D, ARRI)

About

LightCraft is an open-source photo library and RAW editor for photographers who want to organize and develop images locally. It imports photos into albums and folders and supports ratings, flags, metadata search, sorting and duplicate detection. Non-destructive tools cover exposure, tone and color adjustments, crop and geometry, presets, black-and-white conversion, and local masks. It reads multiple camera RAW and common image formats and exports JPEG, PNG, TIFF, WebP and DNG. Users can compare edits, synchronize settings across selected photos, and create contact sheets. LightCraft runs on macOS, Windows and Linux; a WebAssembly build can be self-hosted. A command-line interface, JSON control channel and MCP server support automation. The library is stored locally, without an account or cloud service.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • FolioSort’s AI scans what’s in my photos, so I can find images for social media by searching in plain English, such as “people on the beach”. It saves me tagging thousands of photos by hand. I’ve also tried sorting a large folder into year, month and day folders, which worked well. For the price, it’s excellent.

Cons

  • Nothing significant so far. I hit a small bug shortly after buying it, but my message was replied to within the hour and the issue was sorted quickly. Can't ask for more than that :)
