Your Mac has 40,217 files.
Clarity knows who's in
every one.
Face recognition, an encrypted vault, duplicate detection, and GDPR-grade exports — for weddings, memorials, divorce papers, and everything in between. One Mac app. 100% offline. No subscription.
Three kinds of people really need this.
If you're one of them, you already know. The rest will be fine with Apple Photos.
The family archivist.
10,000+ photos across 15 years, four devices, and two cloud services. You keep meaning to organize them. Clarity does it in an afternoon — by face, date, location, and device.
The privacy-minded.
You actually think about what EXIF data you're leaking when you send a photo. You want an encrypted vault that doesn't phone home. You'd rather lose a file than trust a cloud.
The small business with a GDPR request.
Someone asked for every file about them. You have 48 hours. Clarity does DSAR exports in minutes — without the €50K enterprise contract.
One connected system. Thirteen features.
Not a bundle of separate tools. Face recognition feeds Person Search. Person Search powers GDPR exports. PII detection enables Auto-Redact. It's one pipeline.
Find anything, in seconds.
Apple's Vision framework, three perceptual hash algorithms, and OCR — all running locally, tuned for Apple Silicon.

"No other Mac app sits with you through weddings and wills."
100% offline. 100% yours.
Your files never leave your Mac. No cloud. No servers. No telemetry. No data brokers. Not ever.
Bank-grade. Paranoia-grade.
Intruder capture, decoy vaults, BIP39 recovery. Features usually reserved for crypto wallets — applied to your photos.
Intruder Capture
Someone tries your vault with the wrong code? Clarity silently takes their photo with your Mac's webcam, logs the timestamp, and locks them out. You see everything when you get back.
Decoy Mode
A fake PIN that opens an empty vault. Hand it over under pressure — they see nothing.
Break-in Alerts
Every failed attempt logged with timestamp, attempt type, device info.
BIP39 Recovery
12-word recovery phrase. Same standard as crypto wallets. Forgot your password? You're not locked out forever.
AES-256-GCM
100,000 PBKDF2 iterations. Brute-force attacks would take billions of years.
Biometric Unlock
Touch ID, Face ID, and Optic ID on supported devices.
One app does the job of four. For a tenth of the price.
Clarity ships 13 connected features. Every competitor below does one of them. You'd need all four to come close — and you'd still be missing 5 things only Clarity has.
13 features vs. 1 each.
Every competitor below covers a single slice of what Clarity does. Stack them together to match Clarity and you're at $455+ — and you still won't have Intruder Capture, PII Redaction, Content Safety, Life Happens exports, or Person Deep Search.
