Isolate

isolate

Isolate is a lightweight image browser for local files.

Isolate works off of your local file system: you get started by dragging and dropping a folder onto the application window. After that, you can navigate to subfolders, search for filenames and open images in full res. Not having to go over the internet keeps things much faster than other tools like Pinterest.

Great things about Isolate
  • No BS: Isolate isn't a social tool, there's no sharing, notifications, discovery. It just does its job and stays out of your way.
  • Quick:
  • Manage your images how you like: Isolate just reflects your directory structure, you get to organize things how you see fit (even with nested folders)

Install

See releases for prebuilt applications, or npm install && npm start after cloning

Usage

Isolate works off of a base folder, when you first start drag and drop a folder to browse it. You can always drag and drop another folder if you ever want to browse another folder.

Navigating to a folder will give you a mosaic tile view of your images, with subdirectories listed at the top.

A search bar in the top right will search for any files with the term in their path. For example 2d would match anything in my inspo/2d/ folder.

Clicking on any image will open it, fitting to the window.

From here, you can

  • Zoom with the z key or the Z button in the top Right
  • Close with the ESC key or the X button in the top Right,
  • Navigate between images with the Left and Right arrow keys
