Raisonne is a local app for organizing and archiving your own Midjourney AI art. Midjourney is an AI image generator, and when you download images from it, each file secretly contains the exact prompt and settings that created it. Raisonne reads that hidden metadata automatically, so you can drag downloaded images into the app and immediately see the prompt, parameters, job ID, author, and creation date attached to each one, without typing anything in by hand. Once your images are in the app, you get a searchable, filterable library with full-text search over prompts and notes, plus filters by tag, collection, style reference, model version, aspect ratio, and favorites. If you generated several versions of the same prompt, Raisonne automatically groups those iterations together and lets you compare any two versions with a word-by-word text difference view and a highlighted table of what parameters changed. You can save reusable snippets of prompt text, like lighting or camera phrases, and insert them into new prompts later, and a single click reassembles a clean, ready-to-paste version of any prompt. Images can be organized into collections that you can reorder and export as JSON or CSV, and a whole collection can be turned into a typeset PDF prompt pack with a cover page and one page per image, or into Instagram-ready share cards with the prompt printed on the image. A command palette, opened with a keyboard shortcut, lets you jump to any collection, tag, or search from anywhere in the app. Raisonne is described as local-first: it runs as a single Node.js process with a SQLite database and stores your images as plain files on your own computer, with no cloud service, telemetry, or API keys involved, and it never modifies or deletes your original downloaded images. All of your data lives in one folder called PromptVault in your home directory, so backing up that folder backs up your entire library. Getting started requires installing Node.js and then running two commands in a terminal, npm install followed by npm start, after which the app opens in your browser at a local address that only works on your own machine. The README includes a step-by-step guide aimed at people who have never used a terminal before. It is built with Node, Express, SQLite, and a React and Vite frontend, and is released under the MIT license.
