Lysbild is a fast, native photo library for the Mac. Import, cull and develop, and keep every Mac you own showing the same library, down to the last star.
Lysbild reads the horizon (or the verticals) in every photo and gathers the tilted ones in one place. Press L and it lies flat, with the crop kept inside the frame.
Three exposures of the same scene, lined up to the pixel and fused into one photo with the sky and the shadows both intact. No ghosting from a hand that moved.
Backlit, a flat sky, a colour cast: Lysbild notices, says so in plain words, and offers the fix. Hover to preview, click to keep. Drag the photo to compare.
Rate a photo on your laptop and it's rated on the studio Mac a moment later. Edits travel as tiny changes, not whole files, so it's quick on hotel wifi too.
From a card, a folder or a drive. Add in place, or copy into dated folders and verify every byte.
Stars, picks, rejects and labels from the keyboard. Big previews are ready before you arrow to them.
The same photo imported twice, or ten frames of one moment: grouped, so you keep the best.
Bring your Lightroom library along: ratings, flags, keywords and albums come with it.
A real Mac app, not a web page in a frame. It opens in a blink and stays quick with big libraries.
Photos stay ordinary files in folders you choose, with XMP sidecars. Leave any time; nothing is locked in.
The app is yours to keep. Sync and backup run on servers, so they cost a small monthly fee; backup is priced by how much you keep.
Beta pricing, not final. During the beta, everything is free for invited testers.

Lysbild is new, and sync is the part that has to be right. We're growing it slowly, a few people at a time, so every problem gets fixed before the next wave arrives.
On your Mac, as ordinary files in folders you choose. Sync carries your library's changes (ratings, edits, albums) and a preview of every photo to your other Macs, and new photos travel along for a week so each Mac can have the original too. With Backup, every original is also kept safe in the cloud.
No. Your account uses a passkey: Touch ID on your Mac or Face ID on your iPhone. There's nothing to remember and nothing to phish.
Yes. Lysbild reads your Lightroom library and brings ratings, flags, keywords and albums across, and leaves Lightroom untouched.
macOS on Apple silicon today. The iPhone, iPad and Windows versions depend on how many of you ask for them (tap them under Pricing).
