A focused, local Mac image viewer for browsing a folder without reopening files. Use the arrow keys to move through images, or switch to Gallery view to scan a whole folder at once. Built for Intel and Apple silicon Macs, with no subscription.
I built LightView after missing one very ordinary Windows workflow on Mac: open one image, then use the arrow keys to browse the rest of its folder. The app keeps that session in one quiet window and adds a Gallery view for scanning a larger set. It is normally a US$2.99 one-time purchase, and is free worldwide through September 2 for launch week. I would especially like feedback from photographers on their real browsing and culling workflow. Camera RAW, EXIF details, and keyboard ratings are roadmap requests, not current features.
