This project reminds me of Eagle[1], which is also a photo management tool for a specific purpose, designer in its case. The interface looks similar at least.

For scientific researcher, this tool will have some benefit. I create too much plots when preparing a papers, and they always cluttered my Downloads. But I hope there are support for MathJax/KaTeX rendering.

I think the intended use is for people who need to organise photos of historical documents that they took when visiting archives or libraries, rather than for people who need to organise plots or figures that they have produced.

The project page says "Built for today’s archival research" and "Take control of your research photos with Tropy, a tool that shortens the path from finding archival sources to writing about them. Spend more time using your research photos, and less time hunting for them." [1]
