Find generated images by tag

Kujaku is a Mac app for searching and comparing images made with tools such as NovelAI and ComfyUI. It reads tags from generation metadata saved in PNG files, so you can combine them to narrow your search. Your images stay in their existing folders.

Click looking back on the image — 18 images

The Kujaku window. Adding the “looking back” tag on top of “blonde hair” narrows the library to 18 thumbnails in the center grid.

Review delete candidates together

Mark images you no longer want as delete candidates. Marking them does not delete them. Review the candidates, then move the images you choose to the Trash.

Your images are not uploaded

Search and image display run on your Mac. You can use Kujaku without sending images or prompts to an external service.

No account is required.

Use your existing folders

Kujaku reads images directly from the folders you add. It does not copy or move them to another folder for searching.

It creates search data and thumbnails on your Mac.

Compare images side by side

Show 1–6 images from your search results at a time. Compare similar compositions side by side, or set an interval to advance through them automatically.

Frequently asked questions

Where are my images stored after I add a folder?

Right where they already are. Nothing is copied or moved — Kujaku reads and indexes them in place. All it creates is a search index and a lightweight thumbnail cache.

Are my images ever sent to the cloud?

No. Filtering and previews happen entirely on this Mac. See the Privacy page for details.

Is there a Windows version?

No. Kujaku is available only for Apple Silicon Macs running macOS 26.0 or later.

Does it work with images generated outside NovelAI?

Yes. It also reads the PNG metadata that ComfyUI, Automatic1111, and StableSwarmUI embed.

Is it free?

Yes. All features in Kujaku v1 are free to use.
