RAWeign – Smart Archiver

RAWeign is a data management app for photographers that automatically tracks storage consumption per shooting mode and intelligently suggests files to archive to cost-effective cloud or external drives. It uses shooting pattern analysis to recommend which RAW files to keep, convert to smaller formats, or delete, reducing storage costs without manual culling.

Key Features
  • Storage dashboard showing space used per camera, shooting mode, and resolution
  • Auto-suggest archive candidates based on duplicate detection, blur, and exposure history
  • One-click compression to DNG or lossless JPEG while preserving metadata
  • Integration with cloud storage (Dropbox, Google Drive, AWS S3) for long-term archival
Target Users: Professional photographers shooting in RAW, especially those with high-resolution cameras and PhaseOne systems who face high storage costs.
Revenue Model: Freemium with monthly subscription for advanced features and cloud integration; $9.99/month or $99/year.
