Photographers spend hours on skin retouching, and most AI tools either make skin look plastic or upload client photos to the cloud. RETOUCH K evens out tone and removes blemishes while keeping pores, freckles, makeup and natural shading. It runs fully offline on Apple Silicon Macs, batch-processes hundreds of JPG, PNG and RAW (RAF, ARW) files, and never touches your originals. Three modes: Standard, Fast and Intense. Free during the beta.

Could you build this?
Partial The app shell and offline Mac packaging are vibe-codeable, but natural-looking skin retouching that preserves pores and texture needs a trained model and substantial tuning data.
What it would actually take: Ship a native Apple Silicon app (Swift with Core ML or MLX) wrapping a segmentation and frequency-separation retouching pipeline. The hard part is the model: natural-looking retouching that keeps pores, freckles, and makeup requires either fine-tuning open image-to-image models on paired before/after retouched portraits or hand-tuned classical methods refined by professional retouchers. That needs ML engineering and a curated dataset.
