Winnow - Regroup camera bursts inside the macOS Photos app
by•
Photos only groups iPhone bursts. Winnow rebuilds runs from your mirrorless or DSLR by capture time, filmstrip + actual-size zoom, side-by-side compare, and Sharpest/Softer hints — all on-device. $9.99 once. No account, no network.

Hey Product Hunt — I’m Dominik, maker of Winnow.
I got a mirrorless camera and kept dumping bursts into Photos on my Mac. Photos is fine for iPhone bursts; for everything else it’s just dozens of near-identical stills with no “pick the sharp one” workflow. Full catalogs solve it if you leave Photos. I wanted to stay in the library I already have.
Winnow:
• Rebuilds camera bursts by capture time
• Filmstrip + actual-size zoom that sticks as you step frames
• Side-by-side pin/compare with shared zoom & pan (1.2)
• Sharpest / Softer badges from the image itself (hints only — never auto-deletes)
• Deletes go to Recently Deleted; macOS confirms
• Offline: no account, no analytics, no network
$9.99 one-time on the Mac App Store. macOS 14+.
AMA. Especially useful feedback:
1) Does burst grouping match how you shoot (birds, sports, kids)?
2) Are Sharpest/Softer helpful or in the way?
3) What would make you trust a Photos helper with your library?
Happy to answer anything.
