Period first
Start with the current month or set a custom range. The app gathers candidates only from that chosen period.
ROLLETTE
Make the photo dump
worth keeping.
An iOS prototype for selecting a period, reviewing a varied photo set, making replacements, and saving a consistent 4:5 export.
First implementation · Pre-release
Photo selection system
From a crowded camera roll to a coherent set.
The prototype keeps selection review and replacement in one flow, then uses the same export rules for every final 4:5 image.
- 01 · FrameSet a period from the local photo library
- 02 · CurateReview varied selections and their coverage
- 03 · ReplaceSwap individual choices without restarting the set
- 04 · ExportSave a consistent 4:5 set from the final review
Selection with room for judgment
Rollette proposes a compact set, then leaves replacement choices with the person who took the photos.
Duplicate and diversity review
On-device Vision analysis helps group nearby duplicates and balance scene categories and capture times. It is a curation aid, not an aesthetic verdict.
4:5 batch export
Review the resulting grid, replace individual picks from the candidate pool, then save cropped 1080×1350 images together.
From a month of photos to a shareable set
The visible steps make it possible to revise an imperfect suggestion.
-
01
Choose a period
Select a month or a date range from the photo library.
-
02
Review the selection
Inspect the grid and replace a photo where the proposed variety does not fit the memory.
-
03
Save the set
Export each selected image in a 4:5 format for a consistent carousel.
Illustrative workflow
- A user chooses photos from a summer trip.
- Rollette groups close shots and proposes a varied selection.
- The user swaps one photo, then saves the final 4:5 set.
Development workflow
Codex supports development and testing of the prototype; it does not inspect a user’s photo library. Claude Code is being evaluated for selected workflows.
Inputs: curation rules and Swift modules
The work covers the period-selection flow, duplicate rules, diversity constraints, and the iOS modules that implement them.
Work: agents and test cases
Pure curation logic remains separate from Vision-dependent code, with tests for clustering, category limits, and replacement flows.
Value: reviewable suggestions
That development process keeps the user-facing result replaceable when a category or duplicate decision needs human context.
The current prototype does not call the Claude API. Other Claude API ideas will be considered only after Findoc’s planned evaluation.
Questions at this stage
Is Rollette available in an app store?
No. This is a pre-release first implementation and is not publicly released.
Does the app automatically choose the “best” photos?
No. It proposes a set using duplicate and diversity signals; the user can review and replace choices.
