VisitKeeper vs RawCull
What both publish
| Fact | Keeper | RawCull |
|---|---|---|
| Keyboard workflow | Single-key shortcuts handle ratings, picks, rejects, filters and view changes, with an on-screen shortcut bar. | Users navigate with the arrow keys, mark keeps with Up, deletes with Down, stars with F, and can rotate, zoom, and undo with keyboard controls. |
| Local processing | Face, eye, similarity and blur analysis is described as running locally on the Mac. | The maker says processing runs on the Mac with no photo uploads, cloud sync, or telemetry, and that photos never leave the machine. |
| Offline use | Keeper does not require an internet connection for culling, according to the product page. | Decoding, culling, and exporting work offline; the app checks its license server at startup and falls back to offline mode if it cannot connect. |
| Support | The FAQ directs users to [email protected] for help. | The maker offers email support at [email protected] and says it can reset a license activation to move it to a new Mac. |
