history
Project history and usage
Faceprints is a Swift CLI for local face recognition and face-label indexing using Apple's Vision.framework models.
Project history
The GitHub repository was created in June 2024. The official README says Faceprints is built off the author's seeV work and provides shell-friendly operations for classifying photos, adding labeled faceprints, removing entries, listing labels, and extracting embeddings.
Adoption history
The official release page provides downloadable builds, and Homebrew packages the project at stable version 1.1.2 with a HEAD build option.
How it is used
The CLI accepts local image paths or image URLs for classification, can emit JSON or plaintext results, and stores its faceprint index under the user's home directory as documented in the README.
Why package nerds care
Faceprints is notable for package-manager users because it exposes platform-native computer-vision functionality as a scriptable command-line tool without requiring internet access or third-party model downloads.
