Keywords & Smart Collections
Only for Mac
$29.99
Mac
Analyze Adobe Lightroom Classic photos locally, create contextual keywords, find matching images, and build smart collections for faster catalog organization.
Shuttergrove organizes Lightroom Classic catalogs with local, on-device photo analysis.
Adobe Lightroom Classic is required. Shuttergrove does not work with Lightroom’s cloud catalog.
Analyze your catalog locally
- Scan existing catalog photos and automatically analyze new imports while Lightroom Classic is running.
- Classify photos into 40 photography types, including Landscape, Seascape, Cityscape, Portrait, Street, Architecture, Wildlife, Product, Macro, and more.
- Optionally detect visible content such as mountains, rivers, bridges, buildings, cars, people, and oceans.
- Configure confidence and content thresholds so only qualifying results are written.
- Pause, resume, or re-scan analysis. Progress can continue across app restarts and Lightroom Classic lifecycle changes.
Keep Lightroom organized
- Automatically writes accepted classifications as Shuttergrove-generated Type: and Content: keywords.
- Creates localized smart collections for photography types inside a Shuttergrove collection set.
- Reanalysis replaces only Shuttergrove-generated keywords. Existing manually created Lightroom keywords are preserved.
- Content keywords and photography-type keywords remain separate. Content keywords do not create smart collections.
Find photos faster
- Open the Shuttergrove Content interface from Lightroom Classic or with a system-wide keyboard shortcut.
- Browse content keywords assigned to Shuttergrove-managed photos.
- Select a keyword to apply Lightroom’s exact Library Filter Bar keyword filter and show matching photos.
Private by design
- Photo analysis runs entirely on your Mac using models bundled with the app.
- Photos and photo paths are not uploaded to a cloud service.
- No account, cloud processing, permanent local server, or second photo database is required.
- Requests, results, settings, cache data, and logs remain local.
- Lightroom Classic remains the source of truth for catalog keywords and smart collections.
Built for a lightweight workflow
- Runs from the macOS menu bar.
- Installs and version-checks the Shuttergrove Lightroom Classic plugin.
- Shows Lightroom and plugin readiness, analysis status, processed and remaining counts, and estimated time remaining.
- Records unreadable photos, model failures, and catalog write failures without blocking the rest of the queue.
- Available in English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish.
Requirements
- Adobe Lightroom Classic desktop app
- Permission to access the photo folders you choose
