trim a libary based on criteria

Caesim started as a simple advertised idea: describe the kind of images you want out, then move every match into a separate cut folder. A first prototype is now available for Debian-based Linux, so you can try the local workflow yourself.

Download prototype See install flow How it works

Made for photographers, archive-heavy teams, and anyone with an overgrown camera roll.
Safer than bulk deletion because the unwanted set is moved, not immediately destroyed.
Fast to explain: define the property, run the cut, review the result.

Preview

supported rules: screenshots, duplicates, blurry, dark, landscape, portrait

scanned files

18,240

Review the cut folder before deleting anything permanently.

Describe the images you do not want

Point Caesim at a full gallery and define the visual property you want removed, from duplicates and screenshots to off-brand or low-quality shots.

Cut them into a separate folder

Matching files are moved into a dedicated "cut" folder, so your original library is trimmed without forcing you to delete everything immediately.

Review, restore, or remove

Keep the cleaned library, inspect the cut folder, and decide what stays archived, gets restored, or disappears for good.

Filter with image recognition

caesim cut ./photos --find receipt --dry-run

Preview image-recognition matches before moving anything into the cut folder.
