Riffle through your photos. Fast.
Coming soon to the Mac App Store Native macOS app · Requires macOS 14 Sonoma or laterRiffle is a fast, native photo browser for the Mac, built around one idea: flipping through your pictures should be instant — even when there are a hundred thousand of them. A clean three-pane layout (folder tree, thumbnail grid, zoomable preview) sits on top of a SQLite-backed index, so folders open in a blink the second time. RAW, HEIC, JPEG, PNG, TIFF, and common video formats all just work.

Riffle's smart features run entirely on your Mac using Apple's Vision framework — no cloud, no account, no upload. Find Similar locates visually related shots across your library, People detects and groups faces, and screenshot text becomes searchable. Your photos never leave your computer.
An incremental scanner indexes only what changed, a three-tier thumbnail cache keeps scrolling smooth, and a filesystem watcher keeps the grid in sync when you add or remove files in Finder. Riffle collects no data — there's no analytics, no tracking, and no network access for your photos.
