Family photographs carry more than pixels. Names, places, handwriting, and the order in which images were kept are part of the archive. A restoration workflow that strips away that context can improve a picture while weakening the collection.
Gather keeps originals, edits, notes, and relationships together. Restoration is non-destructive, and the working archive can remain on the devices a family already controls. Sharing is an export decision, not the default storage model.
The product is named for the human work around the images: gathering fragments, gathering recollections, and gathering people around a story. The software should help that work without quietly becoming the archive's new owner.
