Photo Stream Assistant

Flickr Pro Library & Bulk Edit

Only for Mac

Free · In‑App Purchases

Mac

Rename a tag across your whole library, fix hundreds of photos at once, and see where your views really come from. One-time unlock, no subscription. Photo Stream Assistant is a desktop app for people whose Flickr library has outgrown a web browser. Everything you have in one window, and the tools to work on it at the scale you actually have. It signs in with your own Flickr account and talks to Flickr's own API. Nothing is uploaded anywhere else, there is no account to create with us, and your credentials stay on your Mac. WHAT IT IS FOR Finding out how much of your library has no title, no tags or no location, and working through it. Renaming a tag across four thousand photos. Fixing the description on a hundred at once. Finding out which photos earned this month's views and where they came from. Giving a location to the shots that never got one. Seeing your whole library laid out instead of paging through a website twenty-five photos at a time. FREE, WITH NO TIME LIMIT - Your whole library: photos, videos, albums, collections, galleries, groups, tags, contacts and favourites - My Feed: the latest photos from the people you follow - Activity: who commented, faved or added a note to your photos, newest first - Search and filters, including a radius around a point on the map - A map of every geotagged photo you have - Account statistics, and the upload defaults Flickr will apply next - Rename and re-describe albums, galleries and collections - Bulk edits and tag changes, ten photos at a time PRO UNLOCK, ONE TIME, NOT A SUBSCRIPTION - Bulk editing and group submissions with no per-batch limit - Tags at scale: rename a tag across the entire library, merge one into another, or remove it everywhere. Flickr's own website offers none of this - Library health: one scan that counts what your library is missing, and the photos behind each number, ready to fix in a batch - Insights: how views moved over any range in Flickr's 28-day window, which photos led it, and where the traffic came from inside and outside Flickr, including per album - Places: browse by country, region and locality, and give a location to the photos that have none - Album curation: reorder photos by dragging, set any photo as the cover, reorder the albums themselves - Shared Links: your own register of the Guest Pass links you handed out, and to whom - Backup: download your library to a folder on your Mac, with the titles, tags, dates and locations saved beside each photo A NOTE ON BACKUP Flickr limits how quickly any application may download, so a large library takes a while and several sessions. The app paces itself to what Flickr accepts, waits when it is told to, and picks up where it stopped, but it cannot go faster than Flickr allows. For a first copy of a very large library, requesting your data from Flickr directly is quicker. GOOD TO KNOW - Requires macOS 12 or later. Runs on Apple silicon and Intel Macs - Requires a Flickr account. Insights reads the per-day statistics Flickr provides to Pro accounts - Available in English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Russian and Chinese - An independent app, not affiliated with Flickr or SmugMug

Now runs on Intel Macs as well as Apple silicon. If the app would not open on your Mac, this is the release that does. LIBRARY HEALTH One scan over your whole library, and a count of what is missing from it: photos with no real title, no tags, no location, nothing written about them, and photos sitting in no album. Open any of those counts and you get the photos themselves, so you can select a batch and fix it on the spot: add tags, set a location on a map, put them in an album or submit them to a group. A camera filename like IMG_4821 counts as missing a title, because it is not a title anyone chose. BACKUP AND FLICKR'S DOWNLOAD LIMIT Flickr limits how fast an application may download, and the app used to treat the first refusal as permanent: a backup could run through every photo in seconds and save none of them. It now waits as long as Flickr asks, retries the photo instead of discarding it, and paces itself to a rate Flickr accepts. When the limit is reached in full, the backup waits for it to lift and carries on by itself, with a countdown on screen and a Stop button that takes effect straight away. A large library is one run you can leave to it. There is a switch if you would rather the run ended at the limit instead. ALBUMS AND GROUPS Add to album is now in Bulk Edit, where it was the obvious missing button. Albums and groups also take several at once: pick every album a selection should go into, or every group to submit it to, and it works through them. MY PHOTOS More of a photo's details are editable without leaving the grid: tags, either added to what is there or replacing it and the dialog says which, the date the photo was taken, the date it was posted, and the location. Two new tabs show what everyone else can see: your public photos, or everything that is not public. WHAT IS FREE AND WHAT IS PRO Library health is part of Pro Unlock. It reads your whole library and groups it, which is the work the unlock pays for. Everything that was free stays free: the library, the feed, Activity, the map, search, basic statistics. The free tier's ten-photo limit now applies everywhere it was meant to. Several bulk actions - adding to albums, creating an album from a selection, deleting, and editing from My Photos and My Videos - had no limit at all. WHAT OTHER PEOPLE'S PHOTOS CAN REACH THE SCREEN My Feed now shows only what Flickr's Safe filter allows: it is built from a query that carries that filter, where the previous one could not be filtered at all. Search & Explore starts at Safe on every visit and offers Safe and Moderate; Flickr's Restricted level is no longer offered. Your own library and favourites are yours and are not filtered. The app also opens on the Dashboard rather than the feed unless you have chosen a start page. FIXED - The app could fail to open at all on some Macs, showing a window for a moment and then quitting with no explanation - Text from Flickr containing an ampersand appeared as "&" on profiles - A session that expired while the app was open showed an error on whichever screen you were using, instead of taking you back to sign in - In Bulk Edit, a panel taller than the window could not be scrolled, which hid the date fields on smaller screens - The link to Flickr's own data export points to the right page Most of this exists because people asked for it on r/flickr, in some cases with the exact screen and the exact photo that went wrong. Thank you.
