GalleryID Desktop
Your photo archive, offline
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Your whole photo library, on any drive and from any season, in your pocket. Offline.
GalleryID Desktop iOS pairs with GalleryID Desktop on your Mac to put your complete photo archive on your iPhone. Desktop catalogs your drives; the app syncs lightweight previews over your own wifi. Your originals never move, never upload, and are never touched.

Send by FTP or SFTP, to GalleryID Desktop, or to Photos
Folders, bursts, rename patterns, crop and tone, watermarks

HOW IT WORKS
Catalog your drives in GalleryID Desktop (Mac)
Scan the pairing QR code with this app
Sync over wifi, then browse, search and caption anywhere
Companion app for GalleryID Desktop on macOS, which requires a subscription. Try the built-in sample catalog before pairing. MatchID (facial recognition) runs on the Mac, not on the phone. This app also includes the GalleryID Cloud features, so you don't need a separate Cloud app; GalleryID Cloud is a separate subscription from GalleryID Desktop.
