Vixlo for Mac

Cull a shoot before the coffee goes cold.

Point Vixlo at a card. Take, Hold, Reject — three keys, one frame at a time — then develop your takes and hand them off. It runs on your Mac, and your photographs stay there.

Frame 05 is the one you are on — the orange is the cursor, not a decision. Press a key and see.

01 The pass

Only the frames you are deciding about.

A pass is what is on the sheet. Narrow it to the unrated and the pile shrinks as you work; narrow it to your takes and you are looking at the edit. Counts are real, and they tick in place.

02 Proposals

It proposes. You decide.

A dashed, hollow mark means nothing here has been decided. Vixlo says what it would take and what it would bin, names the rule it used, and waits. A filled mark only ever appears after you press a key — no sharpness score, no duplicate match, no aesthetics read ever becomes a decision by itself.

Why this one

Sharpest of six frames in this burstbet

Eyes open, both subjectslean

Highlights clipped on 0.4% of the framebelow floor

Disagree with it three times in one sitting and it offers to change the rule — in your words, not a slider.
What it learns is yours. Forget it any time, and it forgets.

03 Develop

The develop room is one door away.

Press E and the takes you just marked open in the edit workspace — exposure, colour, crop, repair and the film simulations, applied to a copy of the decision and never to the original file.

Export builds a new file from the original plus its metadata, every time. Your originals are never modified. Not once, not by anything.

In the edit room the AI ink is violet and never a filled surface — a change it authored must not read as one you made.
Every view renders the photograph with its develop settings applied. What you see is what exports.

One frame, six starting looks

A misty spruce forest on a snow-patched slope, rendered as shot with no starting look. — As shotno look

The same forest under a standard, even-handed rendering. — Proviastandard

The same forest rendered with heavier saturation and contrast. — Velviasaturated

The same forest rendered softer and a touch brighter. — Astiasoft

The same forest rendered muted and documentary. — Classic Chromemuted

The same forest rendered in black and white. — Acrosblack & white

Swatches are the same photograph under each look. Choosing one sets where your takes start; it never touches the file.

Nothing is uploaded

Culling, developing and exporting all happen offline. Your photographs never leave the Mac unless you publish them yourself.Originals are never modified · edits are metadata · nothing is deleted except Empty bin
