Prowser - an image viewer for macOS.

Prowser Screenshot

Try my latest project. It is a personal MacOS specific image browser, uncreatively named Prowser (for now).

Prowser is a fast, Python based image browser specifically designed for macOS.

Lots of features like text search, similarity search, organization tools, integration with Maps apps, full keyboard control, a simple API (not needed for the app bundle), and the usual array of image viewer features like sorting, external editor integration, wallpaper setting, slideshows, and so on.

Note that the version number will remain at 1.0.0 until I publish on GitHub, even if I make code changes until then. Any comments, bugs, etc., let me know at sillysotsoftware@yahoo.com.

Feel free to try it in a VM if you are worried about security. If you like it, let me know.

If you are familiar with any of my previous projects (Iconoid for Windows, TASID, ISRDDN and other tools for z/OS, WaltzRemote (now obsolete)), you'll know my work is informal so I'd be interested in your feedback.
