Editing 2000 photos made me build a macOS bulk photo editor
Last year, I had 2000+ photos from my wedding to edit. The shots were great, but the lighting was different in every room. Some photos were too dark, and some were too yellow. I wanted all the wedding photos to have the same look before I shared them with my family. I tried using Lightroom. I would copy the settings from one photo and paste them to the next, then adjust it, and repeat. This was very slow. If I used a simple batch edit on all photos, it looked bad because the lighting changed in every shot. After 40 minutes, I was not even halfway done. I had to choose between bad quality…
Editing 2000 photos made me build a macOS bulk photo editor launched on April 11, 2026 with 13 votes, #1,135 of 21,248 launches that month and more than 90% of that year's launches.

Rapi is a macOS photo editor designed for bulk editing photos with varying lighting conditions. It addresses the problem of editing large photo collections where simple batch edits produce poor results due to inconsistent lighting across shots. The app allows users to edit multiple photos efficiently while maintaining individual control over each image, and keeps all photos private on the user's computer rather than uploading to cloud services or requiring subscriptions.

I had a huge backlog of photos that needed editing and organizing, and I tried many apps, but RapidPhoto is completely different. The Killer - feature is batch processing – apply the same adjustments to 100 photos with one click. The AI background removal is super fast and works offline. Even the tone curves and HSL adjustments are professional-grade. The app doesn't upload anything to the cloud, everything runs locally on my Mac, which gives me total peace of mind. Highly recommend for any photographer or anyone with a large photo archive. Thank you for the incredible review! We're so glad our batch processing and offline AI background removal are making quick work of your photo backlog.…from apps.apple.com

With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories.
