SOOTY is a fast asset manager for Mac, built in Rust. Version 1.1.1 is out now.

  • Images, video, audio, 3D models, fonts, PDFs, spreadsheets and PSDs in one library

  • A 100,000-item library opens in 0.14 s

  • Describe a picture and find it in 6 ms. Search the text inside images, find similar ones, get tag suggestions. The AI runs on your Mac, and nothing is uploaded.
