LilyView is a lightweight, Mutli-Touch friendly image viewer that’s handy and doesn’t get in your way. • Lightweight. There’s no image library to load, you just browse images in a folder. • Chromeless. No controls are visible until they are really necessary. • Multi-Touch friendly. You can literally touch the image when using a trackpad, but LilyView works just fine with keyboard and mouse.

Finally a practical image VIEWER without appsandbox problems

As a staunch Windows user and IT specialist, I decided to broaden my horizons and force myself to use a mac as my daily driver. As a windows user I’m used to having an endless number of choices in the software I use (much of it free and open source), I’m also used to being able to download and directly install most apps, I never needed an “App Store” to make Windows functional.The problem with the App Store and apples strict requirements such as App Sandbox, made it stupidly hard to find a decent image viewer that wasn’t constrained by strict security contexts. What this means is that the majority of apps on the App Store will only open a single image rather than the whole folder when launched by doubleclicking the file in finder. this is especially true when opening files from a NAS. Amazingly enough this made the Mac user experience extremely poor.One of the other 1 star reviews complaining about the app needing access to your entire hard drive has not the slightest clue about security contexts/App Sandbox and how apps are crippled by it.The only way this app or any photo viewer for that matter can allow you to swipe left or right to view the next image in a folder is for it to run within the same security context as you the user, NOT SANDBOXED!Finally I have found an image viewer for Mac that just works! (the way one would expect)MY ONLY COMPLAINTS:-I cannot set it not save a history of recent files. I’d rather not have to manually clear the history. Recent files is not a feature I use, the standard use case is opening files directly from finder. I don’t even have a shortcut in my dock for this.-Severely limited scaling options. I’d really like the ability to keep the window size and constrain the image within, showing black to fill in the empty space without having to use fullscreen. This is particularly annoying when browsing a folder of images that range from 20MP to 1MP (yes I have that problem, photos from plant auditors range from potato quality to canon 5D). I’d also like the option to specify a maximum auto-scale factor for scaling up when the window is larger than the image.P.S. To the dude complaining about permissions, I highly doubt the developer wants to steal your crap. I doubt it’s very interesting anyways. Click the accept button and get on with life.

Love the App! Nothing extra. I like how it browse from all images in a folder, exactly that I need.

This app doesn't delete images under Big Sur and the developer doesn't respond to support requests. I gave the app full disk access, but it still won't delete files. It's a shame because this is a nice app and I've used it for a few years.

Added the “Fit to Screen” automatic view option that shows smaller images stretched up to fill the available screen space. The previous, non-stretching view option is renamed to “Actual Size Limited by Screen”.
