Kepla
Kepla is a Mac app that sorts photo cards as they copy, flagging frames for the photographer to review rather than making the final selection. It groups burst duplicates and flags similar shots, out-of-focus frames, closed eyes, very dark or blown frames, and images with nobody in them. The maker says it does not delete, move, rename, or add reject flags to photo files; decisions are recorded in XMP sidecars. Processing runs on the Mac, works offline, and does not upload photo frames, according to the maker. Supported formats include CR3, NEF, ARW, RAF, DNG, ORF, JPEG, and HEIF. Kepla provides a Lightroom Classic plugin; the maker says Capture One and Bridge read the same sidecars. It requires macOS 14 Sonoma or later and runs on Apple silicon and Intel Macs. The app is in private preview, with the preview plan listed at free and billing starting when version 2.0 ships. Solo is listed at $15 a year, billed $15 a month yearly. A separate Solo monthly option costs $19 a month.
