Browse at keyboard speed
Move through images with the arrow keys from anywhere in the app. The filmstrip follows your selection and keeps it centered.
A native image viewer for macOS
Your images.
Nothing in the way.
Browse a folder, move through your images, and look closer. Glimpse is the quick, quiet image viewer your Mac deserves.
Built for macOS 14 and later · One-time purchase
Made to disappear
Everything you need to look.
Nothing you need to manage.
Glimpse stays out of your photo library and out of your workflow. Point it at a folder and start browsing.
Look closer
Pinch to zoom, zoom around the pointer, and drag to pan. Or fit an image perfectly to the window.
Focused full screen
Leave every control behind. Full screen shows only your image while navigation and gestures keep working.
Folders stay folders
See subfolders in the filmstrip and open them naturally. Recent locations are always close at hand.
Cull with confidence
Move unwanted images to Trash with confirmation, or use Finder’s familiar immediate-delete shortcut when needed.
Private by design
Your pictures remain yours.
Glimpse works directly with folders you choose. There are no accounts, no uploads, no analytics, and no photo-library import. An optional privacy control can replace minimized Dock previews with the Glimpse icon.
