Description
Tens of thousands of photos on a drive
Tens of thousands of photos on a drive. You look at maybe a few hundred of them from past years - or none at all - current photos keeping you busy. Photo Flashbacks is how you see the rest. Point it at your photo folders. It quietly reads the EXIF dates and builds a local index — nothing is moved, modified, or uploaded. Open it tomorrow and see what you shot on this same date last year, five years ago, twenty years ago. A grid grouped by year, newest first. Click for full screen, arrow keys to jump across years. ON THIS DAY Photos from today's date, every year you've shot. Navigate by day or week with arrow keys and modifiers. Cmd+T jumps back to today. Your personal photos time machine, one keystroke away. SURPRISE ME One random photo, full window, black background. Spacebar for the next. A metadata overlay shows filename, date, and camera, then fades. Just you and a forgotten image. NO CATALOG, NO IMPORT, NO LOCK-IN Your photos stay where they are. Quit and relaunch — the index loads instantly. Smart incremental updates catch new files by checking only what's changed. Tested on archives with 50,000+ images. BUILT FOR REAL ARCHIVES - 13 formats supported: RAW (NEF, CR2, CR3, ARW, RAF, ORF, DNG), JPEG, HEIC, TIFF, PNG and more - Thumbnails extracted from embedded RAW previews — no slow rendering - Filter by file type or minimum resolution - Right-click to Reveal in Finder or Set as Desktop Picture QUIET, FAST, AND YOURS No subscription, no cloud, no account, no tracking.
