How do I sort old photos and videos by person?
Cluster faces in the folders you choose, then open one person to see every photo and video. Originals stay put. Nothing is uploaded.
Namecall · Namecall
Bring the family scattered across your drives back together
Recognize locally → sort by person → time-machine film. Photos stay local.
After sorting, how do I get a film?
Era-aware picks prefer clear, frontal faces and render about 90 seconds, vertical. Add music or remake. The standard edition writes an MP4.
How is this different from a phone album or CapCut?
Not a cloud album and not an editor. It covers the middle: recognize on this PC, then make the film. Pro may continue as a JianYing draft when licensed.

Getting started
How long a parent biography is, how long it takes, and what it costs
A ordinary-life biography is often 30–80k Chinese characters over weeks or months. The cost is interviews and checking — not one-shot AI prose.
2026-10-29 Getting startedQuestions to ask when writing your parents’ biography
Ask for time, place, people, and original wording. AI can interview; it should not invent their life.
2026-10-29 ToolsTurn a hard-drive of family photos into an editable birthday or graduation film
Do not start on a timeline. Build a day-and-people set, let AI draft a script, then hand a JianYing project.
2026-10-29 ToolsDoes face recognition upload your photos? How local grouping works
Ask whether originals or face features leave your PC. Namecall groups faces on Windows locally and does not match a cloud watchlist.

Scan to use it →Questions people actually ask
Are my photos and videos uploaded?
No. Scanning, people grouping and the time-machine film all run on your Windows PC. Photos, videos and the face features used for grouping are not uploaded. The network is only for update checks and an optional place lookup from GPS you already have.
How is this different from a phone’s face album?
Phone albums usually recognize people inside the vendor account and often sync to the cloud. They do not make a film. Namecall only reads folders you choose, then makes an ~90 s vertical time-machine film. Standard output is MP4; Pro may add a JianYing draft when licensed.
What file do I get? Do I need CapCut or JianYing?
The standard edition writes a vertical MP4 of about 90 seconds that you can remake. JianYing is not required. You only need it on this PC if you use Pro to keep editing a draft.
Does it cost money? How many photos?
The standard edition is free. The current installer is 6.5.7. Official scale is about 50,000 photos or 200,000 faces. Start with a few hundred to a couple thousand.
Will it delete or rewrite my originals?
It never auto-deletes files and does not change original EXIF. A file leaves its folder only after you confirm Move.
