LAI - Look at it

LAI is a fast, distraction-free photo culling app for photographers. Built for iPhone, iPad and Mac, it gives you everything you need to review, rate, and organize your shots — no AI, no algorithms, and your photo files never leave your devices. Review the way you think Open any local folder and start reviewing immediately. Swipe left/right to move between photos, rate with stars, reject with a key press, and assign color labels (red, yellow, green, blue, purple). Organize with Groups Select photos and add them to groups to separate hero shots from alternatives. Filter the grid by group to focus on what matters. EXIF when you need it Open the EXIF panel to see camera, lens, shutter speed, aperture, and ISO next to your photo — without leaving the review view. Compare and decide Select 2 photos to compare side by side with synchronized pan and zoom. Pick the winner with confidence. Private by design LAI reads only the folders you pick with the system file picker. Nothing is ever sent to the developer, and there is no analytics or tracking of any kind. Your photo files stay on your devices — image data is never uploaded. If you turn on iCloud sync, LAI syncs your culling work through your own private iCloud container so it follows you between iPhone, iPad and Mac: ratings, rejections, color labels, groups and culling progress, together with the catalog entries that identify each photo (folder and file names, each photo's path relative to the folder you picked, capture dates, camera and lens details, dimensions and file sizes). Everything stays inside your private iCloud database — the developer cannot access it. Folder access permissions are never synced; you grant them separately on each device. You can leave iCloud sync off, and LAI works fully offline. Built for speed - Keyboard shortcuts: 1–5 stars, R reject, 6–9 color labels (Shift+9 purple), arrow keys to navigate, I for EXIF - Apple Pencil double-tap to toggle reject - Fast masonry grid with a 4-level thumbnail pipeline - RAW+JPEG pairs treated as a single photo Deleting rejected photos always moves files to the system Trash — never a silent permanent delete. Formats - RAW: every RAW format your iPhone, iPad or Mac can read — including ARW, CR2, CR3, NEF, DNG, RW2, ORF, RAF and PEF - JPEG, HEIC, PNG LAI is your culling companion — fast, focused, and private.
