tylerhallIris for macOS is available. It's the native photo and video library I always wanted. I hope you like it, too. https://irisphotos.app

Matt Godden@tylerhall Can I have a separate persistent viewer window, that shows the full size image, when I click a thumbnail image in the browser / thumbnail view window?
@metaning Good idea. An earlier version offered something like that. I’ll try and bring it back.
@tylerhall if you can do that, and stretch goal, make the metadata inspector side pane a tear-off, you'd win a huuuuuuge quantity of the Aperture-missers.
Live view of the filesystem, so I could arbitrarily add a folder where the originals for all of my cameras have their images stored, and then when I add files in Finder, they're automatically in Iris, is a particular hole in Mac image workflows right now.
