New in 1.9.12
Bigger release. Same job: folder review & demo.
Version 1.9.12 brings mixed media, warmer Finder open, a denser Library, and chrome that stays out of the way — including a Settings scroll fix so the image no longer zooms while you change preferences.
Opens clean from Finder
Open With / default app brings Vistaro front and loads on the first click. Single window — no dual-play glitches.
Folder grant when you need it
Open one file and still get Next/Previous for the whole folder with a clear grant path.
Library that works hard
Recents with thumbs, denser scroll hub, Close to Library on the bottom bar.
Filename when you want it
Cycle Off / Brief / While playing from the bottom View group — immersive by default.
Privacy by design
No account. No cloud library. Your files stay on your Mac.

Why Vistaro
Built for the job Photos won’t do
You already have folders — chart dumps, holiday diaries, export batches, short product reels. You don’t need another library. You need full screen, autoplay, video controls, and keyboard focus that stay out of the way.
That is Vistaro: open the folder, play the set, pay once on the Mac App Store.
Open a folder — not a library
Point Vistaro at any folder of charts, trip photos, exports, or short videos. No import. No cloud catalog.
Full screen, content first
Immersive by default. Chrome appears on intent — not permanent clutter over your media.
Autoplay for demos & reviews
Press Space and walk the set hands-free. Interval on the bottom bar. Built for batch review and presentations.
Video in the same playlist
Scrub, speed 0.5×–2×, and mute — same folder as your stills. One tool for demos and image review.
Keyboard-first controls
Navigate, fit, rotate, mute from the keyboard. Filename bar cycle on the bottom bar when you want names.
Local only. Pay once.
No account. No cloud library. Files stay on your Mac. One Mac App Store purchase — free updates.
Private by design
Your files stay on your Mac
No account. No cloud library. Local folders only — privacy by design. See the public policy for product-level privacy details.
FAQ
Common questions
Does Vistaro need an account?+
No. Core use is local on your Mac. There is no app account required to open folders and view images or short videos.
Do my files leave my Mac?+
Vistaro is local-first. Media you open stays on your device unless you export or share it yourself outside the app.
Does it play video?+
Yes. Open a folder that mixes images and video — autoplay stills, scrub clips, change speed (0.5×–2×), and mute. Same immersive chrome as photos.
What is it good for?+
Any folder you already have: chart exports, holiday diaries, screenshots, design refs, short demo reels. If Photos feels heavy for the job, Vistaro is the light path.
How much does it cost?+
Vistaro is a one-time purchase on the Mac App Store (listed at $4.99 USD; price may vary by region). Updates through Apple are free.
Is it a photo editor or iCloud Photos replacement?+
No. Vistaro is a focused folder image and video viewer — open, full screen, autoplay, zoom, review — not Lightroom and not a cloud photo library.
