Pet Detection

Your pets deserve their own page too. AI-powered detection recognizes cats, dogs, birds, and more — right alongside people.

Noodle Gallery uses YOLO11 to automatically detect and recognize your pets. Cats, dogs, birds, horses — they show up right next to people in your library. Each pet gets their own page with every photo they appear in.

Rename, merge, and browse pet collections just like faces. If the AI splits one pet into two entries, merge them with a click. Assign a name and profile photo to make them easy to find.

Pet detection runs alongside face recognition as part of the machine learning pipeline. No extra setup — just enable it and let your library organize itself.
