Features

Everything you need to organize thousands of wildlife photos efficiently.

Pipeline view showing multi-model species predictions with confidence scores

AI Species Classification

Multiple specialized models identify over 10,000 species. Compare predictions side by side, see confidence scores, and override when your expertise says otherwise. BioCLIP, iNaturalist-trained classifiers, and MegaDetector work together to give you accurate, transparent results.

Cull interface showing keep/review/reject workflow with quality scores

Smart Triage

Every photo is automatically labeled keep, review, or reject based on quality scoring — sharpness, exposure, composition, noise. Photos are grouped into encounters and bursts so you can compare similar frames. Rapid-cull through a keyboard-driven interface to make final decisions fast.

Browse view with active filters showing wildlife photo library

Browse & Review

Filter and search your entire library by species, rating, flag, keyword, or folder. Inspect any photo's metadata, AI predictions, and edit history. The review interface gives you everything at a glance — no clicking through menus.

Interactive map view with photo clusters and location markers

Map View

See where your photos were taken on an interactive map. Geotagged photos are clustered by location — zoom in to explore individual shots, click to preview. A natural way to browse when location matters as much as species.

Works With Your Tools

Vireo doesn't replace your workflow — it fits into it.

XMP Sidecars

All metadata is stored in standard XMP files alongside your photos. Nothing is locked in a proprietary database.

Lightroom

Import keyword hierarchies from your Lightroom catalog. Migrate without losing years of organization work.

iNaturalist

Look up taxonomy directly from Vireo. Upload observations to iNaturalist when you're ready to share with the community.

Darktable

XMP sidecar compatibility means your edits and metadata flow between Vireo and Darktable seamlessly.

Workspace switcher showing multiple project workspaces

Workspaces

Run multiple independent projects side by side. Each workspace has its own predictions, collections, and settings — but photos and keywords are shared. Switch between a trip to Costa Rica and your backyard feeder without mixing data.
