Folder-first library browsing
Move through Recents, Favorites, Smart Filters, Smart Albums, folders, and user albums without flattening your Photos structure.
Opla for Mac
Desktop control for serious Photos libraries.
Browse, filter, sort, inspect, and edit large Apple Photos libraries with a Mac-native workspace built around albums, folders, Smart Filters, fast search, and precise photo actions.
Built for the work people do at a desk.
Opla for Mac brings the same serious-library focus to a wider workspace: persistent sidebars, adjustable grids, keyboard-friendly commands, and room to inspect photo context before changing albums.
Adjustable album grids
Resize thumbnails, switch between aspect-ratio and square grids, then filter or sort by date, duration, and largest dimensions.
Cleanup-focused Smart Filters
Work from Not in Any Album, old screenshots, long videos, large photos, large RAW photos, hidden media, and included-in-album counts.
Date Taken navigation
Jump into Today, Yesterday, recent ranges, This Year, On This Day, years, months, and days from the indexed Date Taken view.
Album membership in context
Use the inspector to see where a photo already belongs before adding, moving, or removing it from albums.
Real photo actions
Add, move, remove, favorite, hide, share, copy, rotate, crop, revert, and delete from the grid, viewer, inspector, or native Photo menu.
Quick Open and native windows
Search albums and folders with usage-ranked Quick Open, then continue in the current window, a new tab, or a separate window.
Private by design
Opla indexes your local Photos library for responsive filters and counts. It does not upload your photo library to Tiny Whale servers.
A focused desktop workspace.
The Mac workspace keeps the main cleanup surfaces close together: a dense album grid, a detail-rich viewer, and Add to Albums with search, pinned albums, recent albums, and folders.
Mac-native organizing loops.
Opla for Mac is built for cleanup sessions where you need to make repeated, careful changes without losing your place.
Find the photos that need attention
Start from Date Taken, Not in Any Album, included-in counts, old screenshots, long videos, or large RAW photos.
Shape the grid for the job
Switch thumbnail modes, resize the grid, filter the current album, and sort by time, video length, or image dimensions.
Move without losing context
Use the sidebar, Quick Open, back navigation, reveal commands, tabs, and windows to move through large folder structures.
Act after inspection
Use album membership, metadata, viewer zoom, filmstrip navigation, crop, rotate, hide, favorite, share, and delete actions after review.
Opla for Mac is live.

Frequently asked questions.
Does Opla upload my Photos library?
No. Opla is built around local Photos library access. It does not upload your photo library to Tiny Whale servers.
What permissions does the Mac version need?
Opla needs Photos access so it can show albums, folders, Smart Albums, metadata, thumbnails, and the library structure you are organizing.
Does this replace the iPhone version?
No. The existing iPhone page and App Store link stay in place. This page is a separate Mac-specific surface.
What is Opla for Mac built for?
It is built for serious Apple Photos libraries: lots of albums, folders, screenshots, videos, old items, and repeated cleanup work.
