Find every duplicate, automatically.
Tend Photos scans your entire iCloud library for exact duplicates and near-duplicates — burst shots, re-saved edits, accidental imports. It groups them side by side so you can see exactly what you have before deciding anything.
Know which shot to keep.
Quality scoring analyzes sharpness, exposure, and resolution across every duplicate group and recommends the best photo to keep. You can always override the recommendation — Tend Photos gives you information, not orders.
Your approval, every single time.
Nothing in your library changes until you say so. No auto-delete, no background cleanup, no surprises. Every deletion requires a typed confirmation, and every action is logged so you always know exactly what changed.
Enhance photos without touching originals.
Adjust brightness, contrast, and sharpness, or apply filter presets to any photo. Tend Photos saves an enhanced copy alongside your original — which is never modified. Non-destructive, always reversible.
See your whole library clearly.
Smart Insights automatically categorizes your photos into screenshots, documents, landscapes, people, pets, food, and more. Search your library in plain language — "receipts from last year" or "beach photos from 2023" — and find what you're looking for instantly.
Three steps. Nothing irreversible.
Tend Photos analyzes your iCloud Photos library on your Mac — no uploading, no waiting, just a fast local scan that finds duplicates, near-duplicates, and quality differences across your entire collection.
Browse your duplicate groups side by side, see the keeper recommendation for each one, and make your own decisions about what stays and what goes.
Select photos for deletion, review your choices, type "DELETE" to confirm, and Tend Photos handles the rest — every action logged, nothing changed without your explicit sign-off.
Your photos never leave your Mac.
Tend Photos works entirely on your device. Every scan, every quality score, every duplicate comparison happens locally using Apple's PhotoKit framework — no photos, no metadata, and no filenames are sent anywhere. There is no account to create, no server processing your images, and no third party involved in any part of the analysis. You grant Photos access when you first open the app, and that access is used only on your Mac, only when you're using Tend Photos.
