AfterFrame / Usage guide

Start with the
folders you have.

Import a shoot, make a selection, and finish the image without moving the originals somewhere else.

macOSApple SiliconLocal-first

01 / Get started

Install, then choose a folder.

Download the latest DMG from GitHub Releases and move AfterFrame to Applications. When you first open it, create a catalog. It indexes your photos; it does not take ownership of them.

macOS noteIf macOS blocks an unnotarized build, control-click the app and choose Open, or allow it in Privacy & Security.

02 / Build a library

Import what you already have.

Point Import at a folder of photographs or video. Previews and metadata are built in the background, so you can start browsing straight away.

  1. Create or open a catalog.
  2. Choose a folder containing a shoot.
  3. Let the activity dock finish previews and metadata.
  4. Sort, rate, tag, and collect.

03 / Find people

Group faces on your Mac.

Install or select an ArcFace model in Settings, then scan the current catalog from the People view. Detection, embeddings, and person groups remain local.

  1. Open Settings → People and configure the local model.
  2. Open People and choose Scan faces.
  3. Name groups, choose covers, and move incorrectly grouped faces.
  4. Delete one or several incorrect groups; rescans keep them excluded.

Demo portraits are AI-generated and do not depict real people.

04 / Edit

Finish the image where you picked it.

Crop, add type, make a collage, add stickers, or use a camera frame. The original is left untouched; export at the size you need.

  • Crop: presets, rotation, and flip.
  • Text: system fonts, gradients, shadows, and depth-aware placement.
  • Frame: EXIF-aware camera styles and brand marks.

06 / Connect an agent

Give an agent access to the library.

While the app is open, AfterFrame runs a local MCP server. Add it to an MCP-compatible client to search, tag, crop, export, or show photos in the app.
