Summary

Forevery, a mobile photo discovery app, has received significant requests for a desktop version that can automatically tag and sort photos on a hard drive. While the Forevery team works on this, developers have independently created ImgSort, a desktop photo organizer using Clarifai’s API, which was developed by Nirupama Suneel and Nathan Wong at Dubhacks 2015. ImgSort sorts images into user-defined categories, leveraging Clarifai’s image recognition technology to generate tags and organize images efficiently. The app works best with generic categories like “food” or “people” and aims to improve by utilizing Clarifai’s machine learning models to automate category naming entirely. The developers were inspired by the ease and power of Clarifai’s API, which they experienced firsthand during a workshop.
