Hey Product Hunt 👋 I built Scope because Finder just isn't built for actually living with a huge, messy photo library — years of photos scattered across an iPhone, a Mac, and a couple of external drives I kept forgetting about. Scope isn't a photo editor — it's the organizer Finder should have shipped with. Tag, sort, and find any photo across your whole Mac in seconds, then look at it comfortably in a viewer built with every option you actually need (zoom, rotate, compare, crop when you need it). Everything works with the same shortcuts and gestures you already use in Finder, so there's nothing new to learn. Along the way it grew into a lot more than a viewer: non-destructive PDF creation and merging, side-by-side photo comparison, quick prep for social media exports, a private-files system, notes on files and folders, color tags, whole-disk search, a built-in file browser, a DaisyDisk-style view of your storage, history, favorites, format conversion, archive and DMG browsing, set-as-wallpaper, a color picker with saveable collections, and light/dark themes. The welcome screen even pulls in beautiful Unsplash photos to greet you. I also didn't want another subscription, or my photos going through someone else's cloud just to browse them — Scope is 100% local, always. The free trial is 2 hours of actual use, not a countdown clock, so there's real room to try everything properly before deciding. It's a solo project, still actively evolving with regular updates planned — I'd genuinely love your feedback, bug reports, or just what's missing for your own workflow. I read and reply to everything.
