Hey everyone 👋
I’m the maker of Lifter — I recently rebuilt it from the ground up to make file imports on macOS effortless.
It automatically creates clean folder structures, renames files, and lets you simulate every action before copying.
I’d love to hear how you keep your photos and files organized — and what you think of Lifter’s approach to simplicity.
