About FlowVision

FlowVision is a Mac app for browsing folders of images and videos, built for people with large local collections such as photographers, illustrators or anyone sorting downloads. Its signature view is a waterfall (masonry) layout that fits portrait and landscape images together, with a regular grid as an option. You can preview videos next to images, include subfolders in one view, zoom with high-quality scaling, and view HDR images on supported displays. It also handles basic file management while you browse: move, copy and rename files, and add tags and ratings, with right-click gestures and mouse side buttons for quick folder navigation. FlowVision is free and open source under the GPL-3.0, makes no network requests, and runs on macOS 11 or later on Apple Silicon and Intel. It is Mac-only and is a viewer and organiser, not a photo editor or library database.

Best for: Mac users who want to skim big folders of mixed-size images and videos quickly.
