What makes it different
Prvw does one thing: show you your images. No editing, no library management, no cloud sync. It opens a file and gets out of the way.
Instant display
Open a photo and it appears. No splash screen, no loading spinner. The image is on screen before you can blink.
GPU-accelerated zoom and pan
Scroll to zoom (centered on your cursor), click-drag to pan. All on the GPU, so it feels buttery smooth at any resolution.
Background preloading
Adjacent images are decoded in background threads and ready to go. Press an arrow key and the next photo is already there.
Keyboard-first
Arrow keys to navigate, +/- to zoom, 0 to fit, F11 for fullscreen, ESC to close. Your hands stay where they are.
Native menus
Real macOS menus with real keyboard shortcuts. Feels like it belongs on your Mac because it does.
Accurate colors
Embedded ICC profiles (Adobe RGB, ProPhoto, Display P3) are converted to your monitor's native color space. Wide-gamut P3 displays show the full range. Drag between monitors and it re-converts on the fly.
Pricing
Free for now, will cost $29/year once it's a bit more mature.
No limits, no nags, just use it.
