ShotSieve

What ShotSieve is

ShotSieve is a free, open-source application that helps photographers sort local photo folders using learned image-quality models. It supports keep-or-reject review, with TOPIQ as the default model and CLIPIQA and Q-ReAlign Mini also available. Users can compare models on the same library before a larger culling pass. Review tools filter and sort by score, format, resolution, file size, and metadata completeness, with batch actions. The listed capabilities include RAW photo support, blur detection, and AI quality scoring. The project describes a local workflow: the review interface runs on loopback, binding to 127.0.0.1:8765 by default, while the photo library remains on the user's machine. Releases are listed for Windows, Linux, and Apple Silicon macOS. CPU is a fallback; accelerator use depends on compatible hardware, operating system, drivers, model, and runtime. The application uses the AGPLv3-or-later license, but its pinned PyIQA dependency and model checkpoints have separate terms to check before commercial use. Model weights are not included in release archives and must be downloaded separately when preparing or first using a model.
