Finding things

Every way you remember an image is a way to find it: a word, a description, a color, a date, a tag, a lookalike.

⌘K, one search box

Type a word and Teserra looks in filenames, titles, descriptions, tags, the text inside screenshots and the body of saved articles. Type a phrase that describes the picture, “marble statue, side light”, and the local visual model finds it by meaning. Both kinds of results come back in one list, grouped so you know why each one matched. A floating card shows the count and the source.

Short words. A query of three letters or fewer matches whole words only, so “car” does not return everything with “card” in it.

Find Similar

Right-click any image → Find Similar. Its visual siblings across the whole library come up, image against image, on your Mac.

Filters

  • Color: a wheel, a hex value, saved colors. Several at once. Distance measured the way eyes see it.
  • Dates: a calendar with a heat map of your activity.
  • Rating, Type (formats grouped by family, RAW included), site for links.
  • Every filter combines with the search box and with a collection.

Sort

By import date, creation date, name, size, ratio, color, or Random, which reshuffles the library but stays stable while you scroll. Every sort runs both ways.

Three views

Grid is where you work. Journal shows the library by day and hour, with sessions stacked into piles. Wall walks your collection on a curved track, one piece in front, R for a random pick. Switch from the toolbar; the selection follows you.
