YIWANG3 / AfterFrame
Local-first photo library for Mac and Windows. Browse, cull and search thousands of photos and RAWs, find people and places on-device, and edit with LUTs, text, stickers, camera frames and collages. Agent-ready over MCP.
Why this job: works in the areas we cover, but does not say which job it does
What it does
- Catalog-based workflow. one .afcatalog per project
- Import pipeline with automatic metadata extraction and preview generation; on a large import, photos show up a batch at a time, thumbnails included. On a Mac, drop photos, videos or folders on the Dock icon to import them
- Metadata read with ExifTool. camera, lens, exposure, capture time, GPS and colour space from JPEG, HEIF and RAW files, CR3 and IIQ included
- RAW files from 1,200+ cameras read with LibRaw. the camera's embedded preview when it's big enough, a full decode when it isn't; RAW HD previews are made when you open the photo, not at import
- Two preview tiers. fast 512px thumbnails always, plus optional 2000px HD previews (toggle in Settings → Library, off by default to save disk)
