Field notes
The page describes a native Mac workflow for importing photos from Photos or Finder, using saved location metadata to position images, and rendering separate wallpaper projects per display. It says subject extraction runs locally in roughly a third of a second, with a brush for restoring or removing regions; supported systems are Apple-silicon Macs on macOS 14 or later. A free tier allows one project and five stickers, while Unlimited is described as a one-time purchase.
