A macOS app that pairs photos with voice memos. Browse any image folder (supporting 15+ formats including RAW), record a voice memo for each photo, and get automatic on-device transcription in German and English — with optional German-to-English translation.

Audio files and transcriptions are stored as sidecar files alongside the original photos, keeping everything portable and non-destructive. Built with SwiftUI for macOS 15+ on Apple Silicon.
