Built to browse and organize

See everything, instantly

Point Impicta at any folder and thousands of photos and videos fill a fluid grid you can scroll the moment it opens. No import, no library to build, no waiting - just your files, right where they already live.

Curate into collections

Group images into collections and nested folders that live only inside Impicta, then export finished sets as clean copies. Your originals are never moved, renamed, or touched - collections are just smart views you arrange however you like.

Tame the mess automatically

Let Impicta sort a giant pile for you - grouped by the day each shot was taken, or clustered by what's actually in the picture. Review, tweak, and turn chaos into tidy collections in minutes.

Find the people

Impicta detects faces entirely on your Mac, groups them into people you can name, and lets you browse everyone at a glance. No cloud, no account - nothing ever leaves your computer.

Cinematic slideshows

One key starts a full-screen show with smooth crossfades and a subtle Ken Burns motion that intelligently frames faces and the most interesting part of every shot. Tune the pace on the fly and let it play on the big screen.

A viewer that gets out of the way

Fit, fill, true 100%, screen-relative, or any custom zoom - pan with the keyboard, a trackpad pinch, or two-finger scroll. RAW, HEIC, SVG, animated GIF, and video all open in the very same place.

Optional AI, on your terms

Point Impicta at a language model - local on your Mac, or a provider you choose - and let it describe your photos or file them into collections for you. Off by default, private by design.

And plenty more under the hood

The smaller things that make big, messy libraries a pleasure to live in.

Every format, one app

JPEG, PNG, HEIC, TIFF, WebP, SVG, camera RAW, animated GIF, and video - side by side.

Fast at any scale

Tens of thousands of files, even over a network share - thumbnails stream in and memory stays in check.

Search the whole library

Match across file names, paths, your annotations, and the people in each shot - all at once.

Sort, filter, hide

Order by name, date, size, or dimensions; filter by media type; hide what's already filed.

Motion media that moves

GIFs animate right in the grid, hovering a video gives a quick preview, full playback is one click.

Right from Finder

"Browse" or "Slideshow with Impicta", set it as your default viewer, or drag images straight out to your editor.

Annotate as you browse

Add notes and keywords to photos in Curating mode - and find them again later by searching.

All keyboard, fully remappable

Every action has a shortcut, and every shortcut is yours to change.

Private & sandboxed

Runs offline, fully sandboxed, and never phones home. Your photos stay yours, untouched.
