  • macOS 13 or newer.
  • Windows 10 22H2 or Windows 11, 64-bit.

Private by default

Photos, catalogs, and diagnostic logs remain on your computer. Support bundles are created locally and shared only when you choose.

Independent software

Use the alpha freely. Support the work if it earns it.

The public alpha does not require an activation server. Optional support helps fund signing, hardware testing, camera coverage, and the unglamorous work of making catalogs and exports dependable.
