Photos Alternatives? Image viewer

Hey all, I’m looking for an app that is basically an image viewer. Something like Plex or Photos. I’d use one of those but I want this instance to be completely separate from the others.


I basically just want a way to easily flip through and organize images, no editing necessary. The file viewer just isn’t doing it for me.


I’d also like the ability to add a password but that’s not a must. Any pointers would be appreciated!

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 13.6

Quicklook is on your Mac already. Open a folder of images. Click on the first one. Tap the space bar. Move to the next with the arrow keys.


No image viewer will have password protection. For that you need database, and then you're beyond an image viewer. What you can do is put your images on an encrypted disk image and use Quicklook or any other viewer you prefer.
