Download:

PictoPy is an open-source, privacy-first AI photo management application built for the desktop - featuring on-device face recognition, object detection, and smart search, with zero data leaving your machine.

PictoPy brings the intelligence of modern AI photo management to your local machine, without the privacy trade-offs of cloud-based alternatives. Built as a fully offline desktop application with Rust, React, and Python, PictoPy automatically groups faces across your library, tags photos with detected objects, and lets you search your pictures with simple words - all powered by state-of-the-art on-device models, without an internet connection or a subscription.
