Features, shown on the real screen.

Not a diagram we made to explain things — this is cut straight from the real screen.

UI: Sidebar / Tag filters

Cross tags to narrow the search

Just check the boxes for character traits and scene tags together. Tens of thousands of images narrow down to a few dozen.

The count and chips stay visible, so you always know which tag is narrowing things down and how many images are left.

UI: Character tags / Prompt tags

Click a tag to keep narrowing

Click a character or prompt tag on the image you just found, and it's added straight to your filter. Click another tag in the new results, and you narrow again — one tag leading to the next.

UI: Delete-candidate button

Cleanup starts with a “delete candidate,” first

Mark images you're unsure about as delete candidates first. Move them to the Trash later, all at once, after a second look.

Two guarantees

Not a single image is ever
uploaded, anywhere.

Filtering and previews happen entirely on this Mac. No image is ever sent over the network.

No account, no cloud sync. Your folder stays exactly where it is, on your Mac.

Nothing is ever copied,
or moved.

Your folder stays exactly where it is — Kujaku reads and indexes it in place. Register tens of thousands of images, and your storage use won't double. (It only creates a search index and a lightweight thumbnail cache.)

Since nothing leaves its original location, it stays compatible with however you already organize files in Finder or elsewhere.

One tag, and 64,855 becomes 415.

No more dumping everything into date-stamped folders and scrolling forever to find it. Whether it's one loose tag or several combined, it's built to stay smooth at a library of 64,855 images.

The Kujaku window. A single “sailor uniform” tag filter narrows the library to 415 thumbnails in the center grid. The right-hand preview shows a character in a sailor uniform against a blue sky with towering clouds.

Sit back and watch it as a slideshow.

Filtered results play back as a slideshow you can browse at your own pace. Show anywhere from 1 to 6 images at once, and set your own interval between them. Similar compositions line up side by side for easy comparison.

Is there a Windows version?

No. Kujaku is a native Mac app for macOS 26.0+ on Apple Silicon only.
