Version 1.0 of PhotoTriage, a little Mac app I built because I got tired of deleting files manually one at a time. Right-click, move to trash, confirm, repeat — multiply that by ten thousand photos and you never actually clean anything up.
Got tired of deleting photos one by one. Made something that turns it into a keyboard game. Arrow keys do everything, nothing actually deletes until you confirm at the end.
- Keyboard-first triage — arrow keys only
- Finder folder support
- Apple Photos library support
- Review queue before final delete
- Dark glass macOS UI
- Menu bar + full window
- Zero telemetry, zero network
- Download the latest DMG from Releases.
- Drag the app into Applications.
- First launch: right-click → Open → Open (ad-hoc signed, so Gatekeeper warns once).

MIT — see LICENSE. So I made this. Four arrow keys, a review queue, one final confirmation. Somewhere between a game and a productivity tool — fast enough to not feel like chores, safe enough that you can't accidentally nuke your library.
