Multi-Modal
Face Recognition & Visual Search
Assign names in Face Recognition, then find and group photos by person across the library instead of sorting IMG_842.jpg by date alone.
Local Processing
Batch rename, search, and organize with local AI.
Rename thousands of files with preview and undo. Face recognition clusters family photos. OCR indexes document text. All processing runs through local Ollama unless you point at another endpoint.
The AI Advantage
Local Ollama for rename and search.
DupeZappa calls your Ollama instance for AI Tidy, semantic search, and vision tasks. Inference stays on your hardware.
Security
Local by Default
Native Ollama integration keeps AI processing on your machine unless you configure another endpoint.
Intelligence
Deep OCR
Search and rename based on the actual text inside scanned PDFs and images.
Smart Extraction
Preview before batch rename.
Prefix, suffix, numbering, and AI Tidy suggestions show every output filename before anything on disk changes.
Structured Rename Plans
Build prefix, suffix, and numbering patterns with a live preview of every filename before you apply.
Semantic Document Search
Find documents by indexed text and meaning. Filenames like Invoice_2026 and receipt_final no longer matter as much.
Auto Flow Routing
Watch specific folders like Downloads and categorize files into your existing directory structure automatically.
