The Minimalist Image Viewer. Sleek and fast.
Xee 3 lacks Apple Silicon support and struggles with some image formats, so I first built this with ChatGPT (o3-mini-high), and have continued evolving it with Codex CLI and whichever latest model was available at the time.
Designed for macOS. half-hearted Windows support.
Yee 3 is designed as a single-image viewer for very large folders.
It prioritizes rapid image swapping over thumbnail browsing, treating scrolling and touch-friendly input as primary navigation methods while also supporting precise keyboard control.
Its single-image view can be explored through independent vertical and horizontal orders, with each axis freely switchable between last-modified order, filename order, and random order.
Even with huge folders on SSDs, HDDs, or slower storage such as NAS, the aim is to keep browsing fluid and uninterrupted.
