Aperture Image Viewer v0.7.0-beta1
First public beta — a fast, local image & video browser for Windows, and a real-world showcase for
FunkyORM (its SQLite data access runs entirely on it).
Highlights
- Instant browsing of large, image-heavy folders (a Dropbox Camera Uploads, a Screenshots dump)
via a persistent local index + thumbnail cache; the first scan is the only slow one. - "Everything" library (the union of every included folder) plus a folder tree, with a date-grouped,
virtualized grid that stays smooth at tens of thousands of items. - Tags & notes per file, Gmail-style search (
tag:,note:,is:video…), multi-select, a full-screen
quick-look overlay, and a toggleable inspector pane. - Image + video thumbnails (SkiaSharp + ffmpeg) with EXIF-aware orientation, and drag-out of tiles
as real files onto email, folders, or any drop target. - Everything stays on your machine — no uploads, no telemetry.
Notes
- Framework-dependent build; requires the .NET 10 Desktop Runtime.
- Signed by Funcular Labs via Azure Trusted Signing (Authenticode).
