Find people in your Mac photos without sending them to cloud AI.
Cherish helps families teach the people and pets they care about, then search their photo library privately on the Mac.
Short answer: Cherish is a private face recognition photo app for Mac. Face recognition runs locally, and your family photos are not uploaded to cloud AI services.
Why private face search matters
Family photos are intimate. They include kids, grandparents, pets, homes, vacations, birthdays, and ordinary days that matter later. Many people want better search without handing the whole library to another online service.
How Cherish approaches face recognition
Teach who matters
Start with the people and pets your family actually looks for. Label a few examples and build from there.
Search locally
Cherish is designed to process face recognition on your Mac instead of uploading your library for cloud AI scanning.
Preserve the work
Names, teaching data, and saved search results are valuable. Cherish treats that work as something worth keeping.
Keep organizing
Once people are sorted, future photos can become easier to find and maintain instead of drifting back into camera-roll noise.
