Lumy

Less interface. More photography.

For photographers back from a shoot with hundreds of frames. Lumy helps you pick the best ones fast and develop them without switching apps, working right on your folders.

Features

  • Works on your folders

    Open a folder and your photos are there — no import, no copies. RAW files at full resolution, originals never modified.

  • Pick fast

    Stars, color labels, approve and reject with one key each, side-by-side comparison and RAW+JPEG pairs treated as one photo.

  • Develop like a pro

    Curves, color grading, masks for subject and people, retouching and presets, with a real-time Metal preview even on the largest files.

  • Private by choice

    No account, no tracking, no cloud. Your photos stay on your Mac.

The design

  1. 01 — The problem

    After a shoot there are hundreds of photos to sort, and the usual tools ask you to import everything into a catalog first.

  2. 02 — The approach

    I kept the folders as they are and put the photo at the center. A fast Rust engine does the heavy lifting under a native SwiftUI interface, and ratings also go into XMP files so they reach Lightroom intact.

  3. 03 — The outcome

    In development, Mac first. The goal is to pick hundreds of photos in minutes, without losing anything and without touching the originals.
