Keepers results window: a ranked grid of game photos with the ten keepers in a rail across the top
How it works

Folder in. Keepers out.

1

Point it at your photo folder

The folder you copied off the camera, or the SD card itself. On iPad, plug the card in and Keepers copies the shots over so you can unplug and cull on the couch. JPEG, HEIC, or RAW from Canon, Nikon, Sony, Fujifilm, and more. No import, no catalog.

2

Every shot gets scored

Sharp faces, open eyes, focus on the player instead of the grass, framing, exposure. Bursts collapse to their best frame.

3

Export the keepers

Ten ranked winners in a rail across the top. Tap K to keep, X to skip. Export the full-quality originals to a dated folder, ready to share.

A 200-shot game in under a minute on Apple silicon. Re-open the same folder and it is instant.

What it looks at

It looks where you would look.

Generic photo apps rate the whole frame. Keepers rates the player.

  • Faces first. In focus, eyes open, well lit. The difference between a keeper and a deleter.
  • Sharp on the subject. Sharpness is measured inside the subject, not on a background you blurred on purpose.
  • Framing that reads. Rule of thirds, subject size, and whether the frame cut someone off.
  • Exposure you can rescue. Blown white jerseys and crushed shadows are marked, not hidden.

Bursts

Shoot the burst. Keep the frame.

Hold the shutter as long as you like. Keepers groups every burst, shows you its best frame, and lets you pick a different one if you know better. Take as many bursts as it takes to catch the moment, and let Keepers do the sorting.

  • The best frame, chosen for you. Sharpest, eyes open, best framed. One burst never eats two spots in your top ten.
  • Or pick your own. Press C on any burst to see the frames side by side with their scores. Prefer the one just before the goal? K keeps it.
  • Duplicates hidden, not deleted. The grid shows the best of each burst by default. Nothing is touched on disk.
Compare view: two frames from one burst side by side, the left one marked best
Why this pick

Every pick, explained in plain English.

No black box. Open the Why panel and see exactly what Keepers saw, then nudge the sliders if you care more about faces than framing. The ranking updates live.

  • Plain-language reasons on every photo: “Faces sharp, eyes open (top 2%)” or “Subject cut off at the edge.”
  • A shooting coach that turns each miss into one tip for next time, from the actual EXIF: shutter, ISO, framing.
  • Your weights, your ranking. Five sliders. Drag one and watch the grid reorder instantly.
Suggested reframe

The shot you almost got. Rescued.

Dead-center player, acres of empty grass? Keepers finds the crop that puts the action on a thirds point with room to run, and shows you why.

  • Composition-aware. Built from where the eye goes, the faces, and the sharpest point, not a fixed grid.
  • Yours to adjust. Drag it, resize it, hold Shift to pull one edge, or lock any aspect from 3:2 to 4:5.
  • Saved as a new keeper. A full-resolution JPEG lands next to the original, in the same burst, ready to export. The original is never touched.
Built for the weekend, not the darkroom

Everything you need to get from card to keepers. Nothing you don’t.

RAW, straight off the card

CR2, CR3, NEF, ARW, RAF, ORF, DNG, and more, plus JPEG and HEIC. Unsupported bodies fall back to the embedded preview and say so.

Keyboard-first culling

Arrows to move, K to keep, X to skip, Space to preview at full size, C to compare a burst, R to crop. Two hundred decisions in minutes.

On-device, always

Apple’s built-in image intelligence does the work on your Mac or iPad. No uploads, no account, no waiting on a server.

Mac and iPad, one purchase

Cull at the desk on the Mac, or plug the card into your iPad on the way home. Buy Keepers once and it unlocks on both, with the same ranking and the same Why panel.

Instant re-opens

Every photo is remembered by its content. Open the same card next weekend and the ranking appears immediately.

Export originals, untouched

Keepers copies your full-quality files, original filenames, into a dated folder. Show in Finder, AirDrop, done.

Any folder, any size

A single half, a full tournament weekend, or the whole season folder. Cancel mid-run and the ranking you have is still usable.

Also on iPad

Plug the card into your iPad. Cull on the couch.

Keepers copies the shots off the card first, so you can unplug the camera and keep going. The same ranking, the same Why panel, the same crop tools — with Keep and Pass under your thumbs. Send the keepers to Photos, a cloud folder, or keep them on the iPad.

  • One purchase, both devices. Keepers Unlimited unlocks the Mac and the iPad together.
  • Your marks travel with the folder. Close the app mid-game and pick up where you left off.
  • Nothing leaves the iPad. No account, no upload, no subscription.

Private by design

Your kids’ photos stay on your Mac and iPad.

Keepers never uploads a photo, a face, or a thumbnail. There is no account to create and no cloud to trust. The analysis runs on the same on-device intelligence that powers Photos, and it is done before the coffee is.
