Facegroup information
What is Facegroup?
Facegroup is a local-first photo manager that brings modern, cloud-style organization to your library — without the cloud. It automatically finds and groups every face across your whole collection (name a person once, find them forever), recognizes objects and scenes in every photo (beaches, dogs, birthday cake, mountains), and reads text inside images with OCR (signs, receipts, screenshots) so all of it becomes searchable.
One search box spans faces, objects, scenes, in-image text, dates, albums, and events — type "beach 2019" or "whiteboard notes" and get exactly what you meant. Open any photo to see detected faces, objects, and text drawn right over the image.
Index photos from local folders, your Apple Photos library, and more. Your originals stay exactly where they live — Facegroup only stores thumbnails and a local searchable index. Every AI model (face recognition, object detection, OCR) runs entirely on your own hardware. Nothing is uploaded, no account is required, and it all works with the internet off. There is no cloud to breach, no account to leak, and no company training on your family photos.
Available for macOS and Windows. One-time Lifetime purchase or subscription, with a 14-day refund.
