## What it is
Phockup is a Python command-line media sorting tool that organizes photos and videos from a camera into year/month/day folder structures based on their creation date metadata. It copies files without altering content, handles duplicates via checksum comparison, and routes files without date information to an 'unknown' directory.

## Use cases
- organize photos from camera into folders by year month and day
- sort videos and images by capture date
- deduplicate photos when copying from memory card
- backup photos from SD card to organized directory structure
- sort media files that lack EXIF date into an unknown folder
- run scheduled photo organization with docker

## When to choose
- you want a simple, scriptable CLI to sort photos/videos by date
- you need checksum-based duplicate detection during copying
- you want a Docker-friendly tool for recurring photo ingestion
- you prefer files copied (not moved) so the source can be safely deleted

## When to avoid
- you need a GUI photo manager with editing or viewing features
- you want cloud-sync or online gallery features
- your files lack creation-date metadata and you need manual curation
- you need face recognition or tagging capabilities
