Prowser (Personal Image Browser) is a native 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 app.

There are two versions of Prowser:

  1. The Swift version (recommended for most users) is very fast and very small, and provides only viewing and organization features.
  2. The Python version is more feature-rich, and adds local AI image generation, expansion, generative infill and modification, among other features.

Prowser-swift.dmg Native Swift build — browse only, very fast and very small.

A Swift (non-Python) version focused on fast image browsing — no AI features. Very fast and very small. Source code will be published in a future release.
