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

Eric Peacock@bbech @tylerhall Technically anything can work with your Photos library b/c the "Photos Library.photoslibrary" data is actually a folder, and inside is an "originals" folder with unedited source media!
It's nice that Apple is only hiding the "guts" of your Photos data, and you can get to it via "Show Package Contents" — and point other apps like Iris Photos to read/scan that folder.
However, doing this sort-of-thing with an app that doesn't "read-only" is risky!
@evilpeacock @bbech Just to be clear, Iris is definitely read-only. It *never* edits or moves your original files or modifies your Photos library in any way.
@tylerhall @evilpeacock oh thanks. I kind of read it has it was creating its own db or metadata on top of any existing library.
