Frames go in without ceremony. Months later you find any one of them — by time, by visual kinship, by question, or by how it looked.

Retrieval is the product. It is not a Lightroom or Photos replacement and does not try to manage a library; it keeps the forensic original alongside a revisable interpretation and honest ways back to the frame. The visual twin of a field journal.

Runs entirely locally. No frames from it appear in this portfolio.
