Your library, organized. Finally.
Cento works with your Apple Photos library and proposes what happened in it.
You took the photos. That was the hard part.
Here is our take on a well organized library
Events
A weekend away is one event
A night out, a birthday, the whole trip from Friday to Sunday. Cento spots where one ended and the next began. Say yes, and the weekend arrives in one piece.
Saturday
Sunday
Journeys
Some stories are worth being told through time
A cat growing up, a house being built, a garden across four seasons. Every photo in it takes you back to a moment worth remembering, not just a date.

Highlights
The twenty you would actually show someone
Two hundred from the trip, and you want to send about twenty. Every event carries a band of its best, picked on your Mac. Fix what it got wrong and it stays fixed.
All photos
Highlights
Stacks
Sixteen tries, one banger
You took sixteen photos of a burger until you got the aesthetic one. The other fifteen are hidden behind it, not deleted, and one click brings them back.
Notes
A receipt is not a memory
The parking level, the Wi-Fi password, the screenshot of an address. Worth keeping, not worth remembering, so they live somewhere else. The ones you reach for get pinned.

Events that know what they were
Not just when the weekend ended, but that it was a wedding. Cento reads the photographs, not only the dates.
The best shot, not just the sharpest
A sharp photo of nothing is still a photo of nothing. Cento picks an event’s highlights on what is in them.
Journeys that fill themselves in
Start one and Cento knows what it is of. It finds the rest for you, however far back they are buried.
Wallpapers it catches
Saved, not taken, whatever shape it is. Cento tells an image you downloaded from a photograph you made.
Notes that read themselves
Every note you kept is searchable by the words inside it. Type the street name, not the month you were there.
Needs macOS 27 and a Mac with Apple Intelligence. On macOS 26 the suggestions are simpler and everything else works the same.
Privacy
Your photographs stay in your own library.
Cento keeps its own records in your iCloud and nowhere else. The only photographs that ever leave your library are the ones you deliberately share.
- No account
- Nothing to sign up for, and no password to lose.
- No upload
- The library is read where it sits. Nothing is copied out.
- No lock-in
- The albums are Photos’ own. Delete Cento and they stay.
Pricing
Buy it once. It is yours forever.
A photo library is a lifetime of things you cannot take again. Charging rent on it is a ransom, not an offer. So Cento is bought, not rented: one price, and the copy you paid for never stops working.
Thirty days to decide, and the app is doing the sorting the whole time. If it has not earned the price by then, it was not going to.
$79.99once
Free for the first 30 days. After that it is one payment, and never another one for the app itself.
The first year comes with it
- Every new feature as it ships
- Support when something breaks
- Publishing galleries, as many as you like
$20 a year after that
It keeps the new work coming and your galleries online. Skip it and Cento keeps filing your library exactly as it does today.
The beta is free. These are the prices when it ships.
Beta
It is not finished. Come in anyway.
Some of it will annoy you. This is the point in a project where saying so shapes what gets built.
Requires macOS 26. Optimized for macOS 27.
