Aperture Image Viewer v0.7.0-beta1

Choose a tag to compare

@github-actions github-actions released this 11 Jul 04:42

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).

See CHANGELOG.md for full history.

Download

Aperture-v0.7.0-beta1-win-x64.exe — single-file, framework-dependent build (~25.17 MB).

Requirements

Notes

  • The download is signed by Funcular Labs via Azure Trusted Signing (Authenticode). If Windows SmartScreen warns on a very new release, the reputation graph builds up quickly for signed installers.
  • Your index/thumbnail cache lives under %LocalAppData%\Aperture and never leaves your machine.
