Kiano - A Unique Image Sorter and Viewer for Apple Photos
Kiano, a
free app from the Visual Computing Group, provides a unique way to view
and search your photo library. On my M3 iMac, it analyzed 22K images in
about two and half minutes. It then displayed a grid of all the photos
grouped together by similarity to one another. For example, all the
landscape images I had showing broad expanses of sky were together, as
were the man, many dual selfies of my wife and i. You can choose to have
the sorting weighted towards color or towards content. Clicking on an
image opens it within the program, where you can make your search even
more granular by it having it find all the images that are similar to
the one you have selected. From that interface, you can also:
- See creation and modification dates
- See the album (if any) the image is in
- View a history of the images you've examined
- Move to the next or previous photo in the album
- View a slideshow
- Add the photo to an existing or new album
- Delete the photo
- Share the photo via the Mac share sheet
You can download Kiano from the Mac App Store. There is also a version of the app for iOS.
