Photo Selector

Live: https://photo-selector.y3z.ai

A local-first web app for browsing a folder of photos and marking favorites. Favorited images are copied into a favorites/ subfolder on disk, so your selections persist as real files — no database, no upload, nothing leaves your machine.

Features

• Pick any local folder and view all images (JPG, PNG, WEBP, GIF) in a responsive grid
• Toggle favorites with one click — files are copied into a favorites/ subfolder you can open in Finder/Explorer
• Immersive full-screen viewer with keyboard navigation:
  • ← / → — previous / next photo
  • Space — toggle favorite
  • Esc — exit
• Filter between all photos and favorites

Requirements

Requires a Chromium-based desktop browser (Chrome, Edge, Arc, Brave) for the File System Access API. Firefox and Safari are not supported.
