PalettePilot

PalettePilot is a web + desktop companion that turns messy inspiration folders into a searchable, tagged reference library for artists. You drag in images (screenshots, Pinterest exports, photos), and it automatically detects subject matter, color palettes, composition types, and mood keywords, then builds smart collections like “warm rim light portraits” or “isometric sci‑fi interiors.” It also extracts dominant palettes and generates quick swatches you can export to Procreate/Photoshop formats. The core value is retrieval: finding the right reference in seconds instead of doom-scrolling boards. It includes a lightweight browser clipper and a “project board” mode where you pin references, notes, and palette constraints for a piece. This is an AI-assisted organization tool, not an image generator, so it avoids the ethical and legal baggage while still saving real time.
