TelemetryISR ยท Version 1.0.1

AI metadata for photo catalogs.

TelemetryISR helps photographers and visual archive operators review image sets, generate structured metadata, identify people privately on the Mac, and keep human judgment in the loop before anything is written back.

Workflow

Review every field before writeback.

TelemetryISR turns selected image sets into structured, editable metadata drafts. Titles, captions, descriptions, GPS context, keywords, and classification fields stay visible while the operator decides what is ready for Lightroom Classic.

What It Does

TelemetryISR generates reviewable titles, captions, descriptions, keywords, and location-aware notes for selected images. It is built for Lightroom-first workflows, with standalone folder review for image sets outside Lightroom Classic.

Review Before Writeback

AI output is treated as a draft. Users inspect the metadata, edit fields, and decide what to keep before committing changes through the app or the Lightroom Classic companion workflow.

Private People Identification

Optional face detection and matching run on the Mac. Confirmed names and numerical face references are protected in an encrypted local People Library and are not included in Gemini or other LLM requests.

New In Version 1.0.1

The current release adds People identification, stronger GPS review and correction, improved TIFF and thumbnail loading, larger responsive ingest tables, and additional Lightroom metadata-writeback safeguards.

Privacy Posture

The App Store version does not use ISRForge analytics or an ISRForge cloud backend. Cloud AI mode uses the user's own Gemini API key and sends selected previews and metadata directly to the provider only after setup.

Built For

Documentary archives, aviation photography, industrial imagery, ISR-adjacent visual records, and working photographers who need more disciplined catalog metadata without turning their workflow into a suite.

People Identification

Recognize people. Keep identities on your Mac.

Review detected faces, assign or confirm a name, and keep each photograph's approved People metadata visible through final review and Lightroom writeback.

Ingest

Start from selected sets.

Parent images, brackets, GPS lookup, keywords, and processing controls live in one operational view so review starts with context instead of cleanup.

Visual Analysis

Keep similarity and location visible.

Matching, coordinates, and shared keyword context are exposed in the interface, making AI-assisted catalog work easier to inspect before metadata is drafted.

Cost Visibility

Cloud AI stays intentional.

Usage and cost are surfaced plainly, helping photographers understand what each run is doing before cloud analysis becomes part of a repeatable workflow.
