01WHAT COMES ALONG

Your folders and tags
come along

Choose Import from Eagle in the File menu and pick your Eagle library to start
Importing again only adds new items and never overwrites what you’ve filled in within SOOTY

  • Folders and hierarchy
  • Tags
  • Ratings
  • Notes
  • Source URLs
  • Date added
  • Smart folders
  • Trash

02AFTER THE MOVE

After the move

  • 100,000 items open instantly

    A library of 100,000 items opens in 0.14 seconds, and each filter, search or color lookup takes under 2 ms

  • Find images by description

    Describe a picture in a sentence in English or Chinese to find it, while the AI runs on your computer and never uploads your images

  • Your library is a plain folder

    Tags, ratings and notes are written to a metadata.json next to each item, which you can read without SOOTY

  • On cloud drives and NAS

    Several computers can share one library: one edits at a time while the others are read-only, and changes sync across

  • Organize with AI assistants

    AI assistants like Claude and Cursor find items and add tags over MCP, SOOTY asks before anything changes, and every change can be undone

  • Your Eagle scripts keep working

    The local API is compatible with Eagle endpoints like addFromURL and folder/list, so scripts only need a new address

03GOOD TO KNOW

Good to know before you move

  • Tag groups can’t be imported yet, and smart folder conditions SOOTY doesn’t have yet, such as comments and BPM, are dropped, with SOOTY telling you which ones after the import
  • The macOS version comes first and needs a Mac with Apple silicon (M1 or later) running macOS 14 or later, and Windows and Linux versions are coming soon
  • It’s a one-time purchase priced by number of computers, with a year of updates included and a full refund within 14 days, no questions asked
