Photo Intake: Auto-Sorter

About this app

Photo Intake consolidates photos and videos from all your cameras — DSLRs, mirrorless, and iPhones — into a single, clean folder tree, ready for your NAS or archive drive. --- SMART EVENT DETECTION --- Drop in your SD card dumps and Photo Intake automatically groups your shots into shooting events based on time gaps and GPS distance. A six-hour pause in shooting? New event. A 50 km jump between consecutive frames? New event. Every threshold is configurable — you decide what counts as a new shoot. --- FULL CONTROL --- Not happy with how events were detected? Dissolve any auto-detected event into per-day groups with one click. Or define your own events manually by picking a date range and a name — perfect for labelling a wedding, a ski trip, or a multi-day conference after the fact. --- FLEXIBLE FOLDER STRUCTURES --- Choose from six built-in templates (Year / Event / Camera, Year / Month / Camera, Camera / Year / Event, and more) or build your own with the drag-and-drop structure editor. Combine any levels in any order: Year, Month, Day, Event, Camera, Make, File Type. See a live folder tree preview update as you configure. --- RAW & VIDEO AWARE --- Recognises all major RAW formats: CR2, CR3 (Canon), NEF (Nikon), ARW (Sony), RAF (Fujifilm), ORF (Olympus), DNG, and many more. Optionally splits RAW and JPEG into separate subfolders. Videos are handled alongside stills and routed correctly. --- BEFORE YOU COMMIT --- Preview the photos inside any event before applying — tap the eye icon on any event row to browse thumbnails and confirm the grouping looks right. Review the full folder tree on the right panel to see exactly what will be created. --- COPY OR MOVE --- Copy files to keep your originals untouched, or move them to free up space on your cards. Photo Intake never overwrites existing files. --- BUILT FOR MULTI-CAMERA PHOTOGRAPHERS --- Handles duplicate filenames across cameras. Detects all cameras in each shoot. Shows per-camera file counts and sizes at a glance.

More reliable imports: fixed a rare timing issue where cancelling and quickly restarting a copy/move could leave the status display out of sync while a transfer was still running in the background. Source and output folders (including external drives and SD card readers) are no longer forgotten if they're not mounted yet when the app launches. Events that happen on the same day but are clearly separate outings now get distinct folder names, so they're never merged together by mistake. Fixed the rename preview showing the wrong file extension for non-Sony cameras. The app now warns you before quitting if an import is still in progress. Under-the-hood permissions and stability improvements.

Momentum comes from crawler snapshots for the tracked storefront. “Viral growth signal” means unusually fast recent rating gains; it is an indicator, not download data.
