When I switched to macOS, I missed Irfanview from Windows. I wanted a Mac app to quickly go through images in a folder by hitting left and right arrow keys, and also be able to copy the images to paste in another folder or in a document.
Thinking about it, it seemed like a pretty simple app to make and a great opportunity to dip my toes in Swift and Swift UI, so I did!
- Simple and fast (mostly thanks to Swift UI)
- Navigate images in a folder by hitting left/right arrow
- Copy image as...
- ...an image (⌘C): Useful for pasting in a Finder window or into a Document
- ...a file path (⌥⌘C): useful for pasting into a Terminal window
- Can show some basic information (filename, resolution, filesize) about image
- Trash (⌫) or Delete (⌥⌘⌫) files
- Multiple ways to open images:
- Drag n drop into window
- Drag n drop onto icon
- File > Open... menu
- Right click image > Open With
- Command line:
open -a /Applications/imageviewer5.app /path/to/image.jpg
- Download from the Releases page
- Minimum macOS version is 11.0
- Because I am not a registered developer your Mac will probably scream at you when you try to open it
- Feel free to compile/build it yourself to avoid this
See the Issues page. Most annoying issue right now is probably that GIF images are displayed, but not animated (#5).
