Read the full description
Open a picture in Macview and the picture is all you get: no toolbar, no sidebar, no title bar, on a plain dark ground. The window opens at the size of the image, and the arrow keys move through the rest of the folder. It opens whatever macOS can read, including HEIC, WebP, AVIF and camera RAW, plays animated GIF, APNG and WebP at their own speed, and shows a window about half a second after launch. 1.6 MB, no network connections at all. Free and open source.
