Features
Works on your folders
Open a folder and your photos are there — no import, no copies. RAW files at full resolution, originals never modified.
Pick fast
Stars, color labels, approve and reject with one key each, side-by-side comparison and RAW+JPEG pairs treated as one photo.
Develop like a pro
Curves, color grading, masks for subject and people, retouching and presets, with a real-time Metal preview even on the largest files.
Private by choice
No account, no tracking, no cloud. Your photos stay on your Mac.
The design
- 01 — The problem
After a shoot there are hundreds of photos to sort, and the usual tools ask you to import everything into a catalog first.
- 02 — The approach
I kept the folders as they are and put the photo at the center. A fast Rust engine does the heavy lifting under a native SwiftUI interface, and ratings also go into XMP files so they reach Lightroom intact.
- 03 — The outcome
In development, Mac first. The goal is to pick hundreds of photos in minutes, without losing anything and without touching the originals.
