I’m opening 50 TestFlight spots for Iris, a new photo and video library app for Mac. It works with your existing libraries, whether they’re in Apple Photos or folders of images stored locally or on external drives.

Feedback very much appreciated.
@tylerhall Turning Iris loose on my NAS archive drive, excited to see what it pulls up!
(and how long it takes)
@emorydunn For my own info...is your NAS connected directly to your Mac or over the network?
My library has ~250,000 items. When importing from an external ssd, a full analysis (which includes all the ML tagging and face detection) will take around 24-36 hours. The initial import (file scanning + EXIF data) is much faster.
Looking forward to hearing how it goes for you.
@tylerhall It's connected through a 10GbE switch at my desk, so as close to direct as possible. I don't have nearly that many items, but it seems to be plugging away nicely.
Doesn't appear to be reading any DNGs from my Leica though, but there are still activities running.
