on pricing, that is fair callout, older versions had subscription and App Store listing might still show that depending on update or region I recently moved it to one time purchase because it makes more sense for this kind of tool

still figuring things out as I go

latest version is one time purchase now

trying to keep it simple and local, no uploads and no ongoing fees

I am shipping it now, but still treating it like a tool I use myself first and improving it based on real use

not trying to compete with big tools, more like filling that gap when you have a specific workflow that does not fit well anywhere

This is the OG enshittification.

Software quality is declining because people don't have the same problems anymore. They've become so detached from their true desires and learned to cope with their walled garden ecosystems. If their iPhone doesn't do it they just pretend it's not possible.

I think where I struggled was when the set is mostly similar but still needs small per photo tweaks writing new commands or rerunning pipeline for small changes felt a bit heavy

I wanted something more interactive where I can adjust visually, apply to many, then still tweak few without starting over
