FoldersEvery photo you own, in one window. Even the drive in the drawer.
Coming soon for macOS 14 and later.
Three questions, answered on every screen. Built for people with more photos and video than any one app can see.
Where is it?
Every file shows its drive, its folder, and whether that drive is plugged in right now.
Can I see it now?
Folders keeps a preview of everything it has seen, so a drive in a drawer is still a drive you can browse.
Is it safe?
See how many copies of a photo exist and where. Find what lives in only one place before a drive gives out.
One sidebar for everything. Search every source at once, then see exactly where a file lives.
Built like Finder, made for photos. Folders opens, renames, moves, copies and trashes files the way Finder does, and only when you ask.
Every source.
This Mac, iCloud Drive, Apple Photos, every external drive and every card you plug in.
Search first.
Type a place, a film stock or a year and get results from every drive, plugged in or not.
Import from cards.
Copy a card into any folder or Apple Photos album. Skip what you already have, or keep everything.
Workspaces.
Group the drives and folders for a client or a project, and switch between them with Command 1 through 9.
One set of favorites.
Heart anything on any drive. Your Apple Photos favorites show up in the same place.
RAW and video.
Previews for camera RAW files like DNG and RAF, and posters for every clip.
iCloud aware.
Files that live only in iCloud are marked. Download one, or remove the local copy, from the same menu.
Fast and native.
Made with Apple's own frameworks. Thousands of thumbnails scroll without a hitch.
Reads your drives. Never writes to them. Indexing is read only. Scanning and previews never change a single file.
Quick index.
Folders reads names, dates, sizes and the preview your camera already saved inside each file. You can browse while it runs.
Previews when idle.
Sharper previews build when you step away, and pause on battery or when your Mac runs warm.
Unplug and keep browsing.
The index and previews stay on your Mac. Put the drive back on the shelf and everything is still there.
Free for 14 days. Every download includes the full app. After that, pay once or by the month.
