A picture is worth 1000 words, make sure you can find the right one
A native photo library for macOS, written in Rust. Brackets stack themselves, search finds what's in your photos, and syncing just works, so you can focus on the stories your pictures tell.
What it does
Inside 1k Words
Stacks
Exposure brackets and bursts become one tile in the grid, read from each photo's exposure details, with every frame a click away.
Search what's in them
Type “dog” or “bicycle” to find them. Objects are found on your Mac, so photos never leave it.
Straight from the card
Cards, USB drives and cameras appear in the sidebar. Import skips photos you already have and never leaves a half-copied file.
Originals you can't break
Your originals are locked on disk, so another app or a stray drag in Finder can't change or delete them by accident.
Every format you shoot
Camera raw from most makers, HEIC, JPEG, TIFF and more, with full-resolution zoom that draws only what's in view.
Albums in albums
Nest albums like folders, and keep a copy of them in the library's folder, so they travel with it.
How it fits together
Your photos, your drives, your bucket
No account and no lock-in. A library is a folder you can open in Finder.
- On your drivesEach library is a folder of originals, filed by day, on your Mac or an external drive.
- In your bucketBack a library up to any S3-compatible storage, thumbnails first, then the originals.
- On every MacSync the catalog between your Macs through a catalog server, and each shows the same library.
