Prowser

A fast image browser for macOS

Prowser (Personal Image Browser) is a Python-based image browser built specifically for macOS and Apple silicon. It reads directly from your existing folders — no import step — and gives you keyboard-driven navigation, powerful search, and practical organization tools in one lightweight app.

It also aids in AI image generation, expansion, generative infill and modification (but its main focus is on image organization and browsing).
