The app is the solution for many of the problems with Photos that people routinely write to us about at Mac 911. Fat Cat Software’s PowerPhotos has filled that role since 2015, and the company released a major update in 2022 to version 2 that offers even more refinement. However, Photos still has substantial missing pieces for managing libraries.

PowerPhotos offers the missing management features needed in the Photos app while adding powerful de-duplication, an alternate search approach, and a list view.Īpple has matured its Photos app for macOS substantially in the several years since the company cut the thread for iPhoto and declared Photos its new approach.
