ViolaScope for macOS
Organize photos locally on your Mac – without the cloud
Work with your photo collections in a native macOS application without depending on a proprietary photo cloud. ViolaScope keeps photo review, ratings, metadata and project information on your Mac.
Local photo workflow
Work with photo collections on your Mac
ViolaScope is built around a local macOS workflow. Projects, ratings, selections and metadata remain available directly on your Mac instead of depending on a ViolaScope-hosted photo library.
The workspace brings project navigation, the main image, filmstrip, ratings and metadata together while keeping the review process close to your own files.
No proprietary photo cloud
Your photo workflow does not require a ViolaScope cloud
ViolaScope does not require your photo collection to be uploaded to a ViolaScope server in order to review, rate or organize it.
The application processes photo and project information locally, so the core review workflow remains on the Mac where the application is running.
Original files
Keep review decisions separate from your originals
ViolaScope is designed to manage the review and selection workflow without modifying the original image files during review.
Ratings, selection decisions and project information are managed separately, while the original photographs remain available as the source material you started with.
Local by design
Photos and metadata stay on your Mac
ViolaScope uses no proprietary photo cloud for its core workflow and does not require a ViolaScope account to review your image collections. Learn more about local processing and data handling in the privacy information.
