RawFetcher

Your best shot is hiding among hundreds of frames. RAWFetcher finds it — straight from your camera or SD card, before you import a single image.

Instead of clicking through previews for hours: plug in, cull, keep the best. RAWFetcher instantly shows you what's sharp, what belongs together and what can go — then hands a clean selection to Lightroom, Capture One or any other tool.

YOUR CARD, INSTANTLY VISIBLE
- Read cameras over USB or memory cards and folders directly — even with 16,000+ photos
- Insert the same card the next day and previews, scores and analyses are right there (persistent cache)
- Card unplugged by accident? RAWFetcher reconnects automatically — your selection is preserved

AI SEES WHAT'S SHARP
- Sharpness analysis marks the sharpest spot in each image and assigns a score — misfocused shots are gone in seconds
- The aesthetics score (Apple Vision) rates composition and visual impact
- A reject filter removes black and blown-out frames from your selection

BURSTS & PAIRS UNDER CONTROL
- Burst series appear automatically as stacks — expand, pick the best frame, done
- RAW+JPG pairs are detected and shown together
- Large preview with 1:1 zoom and exposure control (±3 stops) for judging dark shots

FILTER LIKE A PRO
- By sharpness, aesthetics, rating, date, location, subject (people, animals, birds, landscape), file type, focal length, aperture and shutter speed
- Free-text search across automatically detected image content

SAFELY SAVED
- Downloads with parallel copy channels, progress and remaining time
- Flexible subfolders (date, type, location, subject) and an optional filename prefix
- The download history skips already-saved images — perfect when the same card stays in use every day
- Optionally embeds tags and location as XMP/EXIF

NO CATALOG, NO CLOUD
Your photos remain regular files in the place you choose. Sharpness and subject analysis run entirely on your Mac.

For travel, wildlife, sports, events and portraits: if you shoot a lot, you'll cull faster with RAWFetcher.
