RapidRAW is a lightweight RAW editor for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android, using a GPU-accelerated 32-bit processing pipeline for responsive, non-destructive adjustments. It includes layer masks, subject and sky detection, and optional generative edits through an AI backend. For high-resolution RAW files and complex masking, the project recommends at least 16 GB of memory and a reasonably modern dedicated GPU.

BetterShot is a local-first macOS menu-bar app for region, window, and full-screen capture, screen recording, OCR, and color picking. Its floating preview opens an editor for annotations, backgrounds, padding, shadows, cropping, and video trimming, with MP4 export and drag-to-app workflows; it uses no cloud service, subscription, or telemetry.

AI Runner combines an offline conversational companion with configurable personality, voice, and memory, plus a layered canvas for generating and editing images. It can also run headlessly and expose local LLM, image, speech-to-text, and text-to-speech functions over HTTP. Docker is the recommended setup, while manual installation requires Python 3.13 and a substantial set of system dependencies.

Quick Picture Viewer is a lightweight Windows image viewer that opens common formats along with files such as WebP, SVG, DDS, PSD, and CR2. Users can rotate, flip, crop, convert, run slideshows, use picture-in-picture mode, print images, or export them to PDF. Plugin support adds extra effects and tools, while the Windows-only scope makes it primarily an alternative to the default photo viewer.
