Preview is great for one image, but weak at moving through a folder. MacViewPro brings IrfanView’s workflow to a native Swift/Metal Mac app: open one image, then flip through the whole folder with Space/Backspace. No import, no library. Single-key shortcuts (rebindable), 12 window fit modes, pixel grid past 800%, undoable edits, batch convert/resize/rename, support of RAW,JPEG, PNG, TIFF, GIF, HEIC, WebP, AVIF, PDF, BMP and ICO. Free, no account, no telemetry, images stay local.

No A high-performance native Mac app using Metal-accelerated rendering, raw directory traversal, and custom image decoding pipelines requires specialized macOS systems engineering.
What it would actually take: The product is built in Swift and Objective-C using Apple's Metal framework for GPU-accelerated texture rendering, custom shader pipelines, and low-latency file system streaming. The hard parts involve zero-latency buffer swapping, prefetching/caching threads to handle large raw image files, and low-level macOS keyboard event hooking. This requires specialized proficiency in Metal, Apple graphics pipelines, and asynchronous I/O architectures.
