Fast photo culling for RAW + JPG shooters
Plug your camera card into iPhone or iPad. Open the folder — the grid fills instantly using embedded JPEG previews baked into every RAW. Swipe, star, flag. Ratings write directly to XMP sidecars that Lightroom, Capture One and Photo Mechanic read without import.
Uses embedded JPEG from RAW files — no waiting for full decode. 2000-shot folder scrolls smoothly.
Two files, one tile, one rating. Or split them apart in Settings — however you shoot.
Rate 1–5, pick or reject. Swipe up for stars proportional to length, down to close.
Every change writes to .xmp next to the source. Import into Lightroom / Capture One / Photo Mechanic — your ratings are there.
Double-tap or pinch. Full native RAW decode on demand via Apple's Core Image RAW pipeline.
Move rejects to _Rejects/ subfolder (safe, undo-able) or delete outright with confirmation.
The app indexes and previews RAW files from all major camera brands:
The app reads photos directly from the SD card or folder you pick — no upload, no cloud, no analytics. XMP sidecars are written locally to the same disk as the originals.
