SOOT

Soot is a visual filing system that treats your library like a studio not a spreadsheet. The product maps images and media into a browseable 3D map, groups related material by colour, texture and mood, and surfaces matches with AI powered visual search. You create spaces for projects, paste Drive or Figma links and watch Soot organize the assets visually so you can skim by sight not by file name.

For everyday work the wins are obvious. The interface turns messy archives into digital archives you can actually explore, and the 3 D map layout makes discovery feel tactile. Packs and public spaces show how teams and brands are using Soot to present collections, and the ability to share a space means you can send a living mood board instead of a static folder. The site also shows a rising set of creative use cases from fashion lookbooks to type archives which makes it feel like a tool built by people who get creative workflows.

Soot is still early stage and the offering skews toward visual researchers and studios that live in image heavy work, but if you hate hunting through nested folders it gives you a different mental model for organizing files. The setup is simple, it plugs into the places you already store work, and the AI powered organization and visual search speed up spotting the right asset. If you want to move from finder chaos to an intentional visual map, Soot is worth trying in a project sandbox.
