k at them!
Visuals is a media browser for the rest of your library — the shoots, the downloads, the projects, the archives. Files stay where they are. You just get to see them.
You work with media that isn't yours
The solution
Visuals lives in the gap between Finder and Photos. Finder knows where your files are. Photos knows how to show them. Neither does both well.
Visuals does both — for any folder, on any drive, with no import required.
Browse
Masonry grid that adapts to your media. Full-screen previews. Smooth video scrubbing. Color tags, ratings, and comments when you want them — invisible when you don't. Inspector panel on demand for EXIF, dimensions, and file info.
Your library
Visuals reads files directly. It doesn't import, copy, or sync. Move a folder, rename a file, edit it in Lightroom, delete it in Finder — Visuals reflects the change immediately. No proprietary bundle. No lock-in. Your library is just your file system.
AI similarity
Three modes for cleaning up and discovering:
All AI runs locally. Nothing you own ever leaves your machine.
Work and personal. Client A and Client B. This year and last year. Each library is a folder you choose. Switch between them in a click.
Local files load instantly. Folders with thousands of items open in seconds. Thumbnails generate in the background and persist — once seen, always fast. iCloud Drive files load on demand; Visuals never silently downloads your entire cloud library.
Visuals does not collect telemetry, analytics, or any data about how you use it. There are no Visuals servers. The only network call the app ever makes is downloading the MobileCLIP model from Apple's open-source repository the first time you enable AI features — after that, it runs entirely offline.
Your media never leaves your Mac.

Visuals Free is genuinely useful — browse, organize, find exact duplicates. Good for a single library or getting started.
Pro is for people with more to manage: multiple libraries, large archives, and the AI similarity tools that make a real difference when you're working with thousands of files.
If you stop using Pro, your files and your work stay exactly where they are. Visuals returns to its free feature set, and you can pick up Pro again whenever you need it.
