Field notes
The page describes a folder-first workflow: open any image, move through neighboring files with arrow keys, mark keepers, then filter by stars or copy selected files. It says ratings are embedded for JPEG and HEIC, while RAW ratings use sidecar XMP files, and names Lightroom, Bridge, and Capture One as compatible readers. The optional Pro tier is described as adding features such as RAW+JPEG pairing and star-based folder sorting; the download is listed for macOS 13 or later.
