CachePix puts the catalog of your photo archive on your iPhone and iPad, so you can browse and search it with the drives unplugged and your computer at home. HOW IT WORKS 1. Install CachePix on your computer: a Mac with Apple silicon (M1 or later) on macOS 12 or later, or a 64-bit Windows PC. It catalogs the photos in your folders and on your external drives. 2. Sign in on your computer and in this app with the same email. CachePix emails you a 6-digit code. There is no password. 3. In the desktop app, open Pair Phone, click Turn On, and scan the QR code with this app. ON YOUR PHONE - A thumbnail of each cataloged JPEG, PNG, WebP and RAW photo, so you can scroll your archive offline. - HD previews for a capture-date window you choose: 30 days, 90 days, 1 year (the default), 2 years or All photos. Free Up Space removes them in one tap and keeps the thumbnails. - Search by filename, people, keywords and caption. Filter by person, keyword, drive, year and favorites. - Browse by folder and save favorites. - Get HD for any photo while your phone is on the same network as your computer. PRIVATE BY DESIGN - Your photos, previews and catalog never go to the cloud. The catalog syncs one way, from your computer to your phone, over your local network. - No facial recognition, face detection or AI tagging. People names come from your files' metadata. - Full-size originals stay on your drives. GOOD TO KNOW - CachePix is a catalog, not a backup. Keep backing up your drives. - HEIC and TIFF photos are cataloged and searchable. Previews for them are coming. Video isn't supported. - Requires the CachePix desktop app and a CachePix account. CachePix Plus is an auto‑renewing subscription (Lifetime is a one‑time purchase, not a subscription). Payment is charged to your Apple ID at purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless auto‑renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings.
