No Lightroom for them. No exports for you.

Photographer, in the catalog

Try it: click the stars or a color under any photo, or select several (⌘ or Ctrl-click) and rate them together. It works from the catalog too. Keys: 1–5 for stars, 0 to clear, 6–9 for red, yellow, green and blue (as in Lightroom), A for purple.Try it: tap the stars or a color under any photo, or tap photos to select several. It works from the catalog too.

Nothing to install for them. Nothing to import for you.

  1. Keeprs sits beside your library.Today it runs on a NAS. A Mac app is coming, so you won't need one.
  2. Collaborators open a link.Stars, color labels, rotation and comments. Keyboard on a laptop, taps on a phone.
  3. Lightroom does the rest.The Keeprs plugin applies each change inside your catalog, and Lightroom saves it like one of your own edits. No "metadata changed" badge, no Read Metadata from Files, no conflicts.

Years of edits, left exactly as they are.

  • RAW files: read, never written. Keeprs reads your originals only to make previews. Stars and labels go into your catalog, or into an XMP sidecar beside the file.One exception: a DNG keeps its rating and label inside the file itself. Nothing else in it changes.
  • One thing at a time. Only the star rating and the color label. Never capture dates, location, camera details or develop settings.
  • Checked every time. When Keeprs writes a file itself, it reads it back and restores the original if anything else changed.
  • Nothing lost. Every change is recorded with who made it and when, and can be undone.

For whoever helps you choose.

The family archive

Twenty years of photos and a book to make. Your partner collaborates from the couch, picking favorites while you edit.

The working photographer

Your culler or second shooter rates the shoot. You open Lightroom to their picks.

The studio

Several editors and collaborators, a comment thread on every photo, and a record of who chose what.

Collaborators anywhere. Soon.

Keeprs works on your home network today. Keeprs Remote, a subscription we're building, will give anyone outside the house a secure link. No router settings, no VPN.

Your photos stay where they are. Editors, cullers and collaborators see previews.

Be one of the first.

Keeprs is in early testing. Tell us how you work, and we'll write when there's a version for you.
