What you can do
Find. Narrow. Act. Automate.
Rootlize is the workspace for files already on your PC — not another cloud library.
-
Find
Basic Search, OCR, and Meaning Search help you find the images you need.
-
Narrow
Refine a large folder into the results that matter.
-
Act
Tag, favorite, rename, and move files without leaving the workspace.
-
Automate
Turn repeatable work into reusable workflows.
On your PC
Use the folder you already have.
Point Rootlize at an existing local folder. Your images stay there. Rootlize does not move the library into a Rootlize cloud.
Needs sign-in and internet
The Prototype opens on a sign-in screen. Ask AI uses a cloud provider after you agree, and may send image contents.
Deeper capabilities
Search by meaning. Ask in your own words. Repeat the work.
The workspace goes beyond a search box — once you have a set, you can ask, organize, and repeat the work.
Meaning Search
Find images by what they show. The model ships with the app — no extra setup.
Ask AI
Describe find-and-organize work in your own words. Needs sign-in and the internet.
Automation
Save a repeated find-and-organize flow, then run it again on the same kind of local work.
