BurstPick

Wildlife photographers come home from a shoot with 3,000 frames and forty near-identical bursts of the same bird. BurstPick reads the folder, groups each burst automatically, and scores every frame across six dimensions built for wildlife: edge sharpness on the subject rather than the branch behind it; whether the eye is open, lit, and in focus; recoverable highlight and shadow detail in the RAW; subject placement and leading space; ISO-aware noise that allows grain but penalizes banding; and how the subject reads against its habitat. The likely keeper rises to the top of each burst, and you confirm it from the keyboard.

Everything runs locally. No cloud, no account, no telemetry, nothing uploaded — your images never leave the machine. Picks and star ratings round-trip to Lightroom Classic and Capture One as XMP sidecars. Windows, macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel), and Linux. One-time perpetual license, 14-day trial, no card required.
