QuickSelect
Cull a shoot with just ↓ and SPACE.
When a job means shooting a lot, the longest part comes afterwards: picking what to keep. This app exists to make that part as short as possible. You press the arrow keys and SPACE. What you SPACE, you keep.
The point that matters: the RAW file sitting next to each keeper comes along. You never go looking for "which RAW belongs to this JPEG" later. When you're done picking, the RAW files you'll develop are already lined up in selected/.
No library, no catalog, no import. Drop the folder, look, press. That's all it does.

Pick
Drop a folder. Arrow through it. SPACE to keep. ESC when done.
One photo at a time, large (up to 2400 px on the long side, oriented from EXIF). ← → or ↑ ↓ moves on. SPACE marks ★ KEEP; press it again to unmark.
ESC moves every keeper into a selected/ folder inside the same folder. Everything else stays where it was. Nothing is deleted or rewritten.
Stop halfway if you need to. Drop the same folder again and it asks whether to resume.
- ← → ↑ ↓ to move
- SPACE to keep
- ESC → selected/
- Resume later
RAW
The RAW of every keeper comes along.
You look at the JPEGs (or HEICs). When a keeper moves to selected/, the RAW and XMP files with the same name move with it. The "same name, different extension" pairs your camera writes stay together.
Shot RAW only? The RAW files are shown directly and you cull those (any format your Mac can decode).
RAW extensions it pairs: RW2, CR2, CR3, CRW, ARW, SR2, SRF, NEF, NRW, RAF, ORF, PEF, SRW, DNG, RWL, 3FR, FFF, IIQ, X3F, MRW, MEF, MOS, ERF, KDC, DCR, GPR, ARI.
If Adobe DNG Converter is installed, it offers to convert the moved RAW files to DNG (the originals stay; DNGs are added to selected/). If it isn't installed, it never asks.
- Same-name RAW and XMP
- RAW-only folders
- DNG conversion (optional)
