Good evening. Two cards are ready.
Good evening. Nothing connected.
Pick any drive or folder. Spool indexes in place — your structure stays exactly as it is. Cameras, lenses and shoot dates come out of the files themselves.
Choose folders →Import an .lrcat and Spool keeps your stars, colour labels, collections and folder names. Lightroom keeps working; nothing is taken away from it.
Import a catalog →Connect an account and Spool matches your posts to the originals on your drive — then tells you which published work you no longer hold a master for.
Coming soonEvery path is read-only on first run. Spool earns write access after you've seen what it found.
Two cameras, one day, one library.
When a card is detected, the brief lands here: where the files are coming from, where they're going, how many, how big, and how long it'll take. You confirm, it runs.
Cameras, cards and drives register themselves the first time you plug them in — model, capacity, how full, how many files. Spool remembers each one so the next insert is recognized instantly.
Each import creates or feeds a library. Counts, cameras, lenses and shoot days accumulate here.
Duplicate and burst detection reports here once you've run a scan or imported enough to compare against.
Mounted drives, free space and recoverable size appear once a destination drive is set.
Files older than your archive rule collect here with an estimate of what converting or offloading would save.
Wedding — July 14. Golden hour, two bodies, four lenses.
Spool read the card and grouped it before you opened the app. Confirm the read, or reclassify in one click.
After an import, Spool reads what was actually on the card — date range, bodies, lenses, locations, clip counts — and offers a name for it. It reports what it read; it doesn't guess the occasion.
Imports, publishes, gear added, portfolios updated, warranties registered — the log records what you made and shipped, in order. It's a journal, not a notification tray: nothing here nags you.
- Twelve items have no value recorded — the real replacement figure is well north of $14,011.84, and an insurer only pays what you can evidence.
- Twenty of twenty-three items have no receipt attached. The three that do took about a minute each.
- Six lenses across two bodies: the Sigma and Tamron glass needs its own line on a policy, not "camera equipment".
- Your A7III has neither a price nor a receipt — start there; second bodies are the ones people forget to claim.
Bodies, lenses, drones, lights, cards and drives — with serial numbers, purchase date and what you paid. Add them once; Spool keeps the register.
Drop a photo or PDF of each receipt against its item. If gear is stolen, damaged or claimed, the proof lives beside the work it produced.
Once gear is listed and imports have run, Spool matches EXIF to your register: which lens earns its keep, what's idle, shutter counts, and total replacement value for insurance.
