Useful, lightweight, and it just works!
Just what I needed! If you have a website with lots of photos or even a smaller website that has been around for years, you know how out of control the media library will get. This is a great solution. Easy to use, doesn't weigh down your website with a huge system that feels like an operating system you didn't need but now cannot get away from. Just a nice, lightweight organizational tool with no lock in. It helps me, my clients, and doesn't bloat up my sites. Win for everyone! Thank you!

Great plugin!
Without complications, I ran a code analysis with AI, and it suggested that it's a lightweight plugin that uses the WordPress internal API and the native taxonomy system, in addition to being up-to-date and very lightweight. It doesn't have any fancy features or ads at the time of this review. You can download it without worry.
