No invented benchmarks. Every number above is traceable to the file on disk. If a product has no RECEIPTS.md we write “no receipts on file yet” — we do not fabricate.

Honest limits

Who this is NOT for

Not for you if you want AI to auto-reject for you while you sleep — a wrong auto-reject loses the only shot. Judging is yours. Also not for RAW-only preview today; RAW preview is phase-2, but RAW+JPEG pairs are handled. Source: STORE_LISTING.md Read this first.

Fair questions — from the listing

FAQ

Answers are taken from the product's own STORE_LISTING.md — we invent nothing. If the listing has fewer than 5 questions, we show only what exists.

Do my photos get uploaded anywhere?

No. Never. Fully offline after one-time install, no upload code. Client photos stay on your machine. Source: FAQ 1

Does it work with RAW files?

Today JPEG/PNG; RAW preview inside .CR2/.NEF/.ARW is phase-2 later. If you shoot RAW+JPEG pairs, culling JPEG tags its RAW sibling too (same name). Source: FAQ 2

Will the AI pick the best photos for me?

No — deliberate. This is a culling assistant; it makes your picking faster, but no model silently rates/hides shots. Final picks stay yours. Source: FAQ 3

Is there a subscription?

No. $39 once (regular $59), yours forever incl. 1.x updates. Source: FAQ 4

What if it doesn't work for me?

14 days, no forms, via store message button — no interrogation. Source: FAQ 5

Checkout — fail-closed

Checkout

Shop is the only checkout. Today the manifest is BLOCKED — no live Gumroad link until permalink exists. The Buy button stays absent and the honest “no live checkout yet” note remains. See checkout-manifest.json.

12 of 13 products have checkout_url = null (FREE magnet has no checkout). We do not add a fake or placeholder buy link.
