Manuals, answers, and reference. Everything you need to browse, rate, and keyword the photos you already have — and to understand exactly where your work lives.
A first-run walkthrough — open a folder, browse, rate, keyword, filter, and export. Eight steps, no import, no catalog. Start here on day one.
Read the guide →The complete reference — rating, selecting, the loupe, keywords, filtering, and suite hand-off. Photo Archive is built for the keyboard.
See the shortcuts →The honest version, led by the one thing worth knowing before you buy: it reads ratings and keywords from XMP sidecars, not from inside the file.
Read the FAQ →How sidecars keep your ratings and keywords portable — readable by Lightroom, Photo Developer, and anything else that speaks XMP, even if you switch apps.
Read the explainer →Why your folders already are a database, and how plain-text XMP sidecars keep your archive yours when the app is gone. A scrollytelling read.
Read the essay →Every release in plain language — what changed, when it shipped, and why it matters. Organized by Mac App Store version, newest first.
See what's new →Photo Archive, Photo Culler and Photo Developer — separate tools sharing one open XMP sidecar. No catalog, no lock-in.
Explore the suite →No account, no cloud, no telemetry. The app only sees the folders you open. The short version and the long version.
Read the policy →There's no support queue and no chatbot — questions go straight to the developer. Tell me what you're seeing and I'll help.
