Every release brings more of your photo life home, while keeping the same promise: no cloud, no subscription, nothing leaves your Mac.
German, French, Japanese and Brazilian Portuguese join English, Italian and Spanish across the whole app, Help and exports included. Stories are written in the language you choose, the local model gets instructions written for each language, and Find similar now reaches copies on every indexed drive.
Export the albums of your Apple Photos archive as verified folders on a disk you own, with pause and resume and a report. Click the star on a Best Shot to read the measured reasons behind it. Save a search and run it again on the photos you have tomorrow. And a first launch that explains what stays on your Mac.
Isolate the selection with cmd-Return, filter by Picks, export copies to a folder or a CSV list with the star written into the metadata. Originals are left untouched. And a guide inside the app, in three languages, explains AI search.
Compare puts two to four shots side by side with synced zoom and a quality score, and the gallery behaves like Finder: range selection, space bar for Quick Look, arrow keys to move.
Archive Apple Photos copies your library, originals and current edits, into folders you own, verified file by file, with incremental updates. And CR2, CR3, NEF, ARW, RAF and DNG now appear in the grid, search and Stories.
Vertical 9:16 Short, interactive Constellation exportable as a single HTML file, color-sorted Poster, Best Shot, and filters applied before ranking.
Single-file web Story that opens offline, and a print-ready 300 DPI PDF photo book. All built on your Mac, no uploads.
