| LightCraft | LightCraft is a free, open-source photo library and raw developer, an alternative to Adobe Lightroom. | 0.7.1 |
LightCraft is a photo library and raw developer that runs on your own computer. It is an open-source alternative to Adobe Lightroom, written in Rust, and part of the Craft App Suite from the ArtCraft team.
You import photos, sort them with ratings, flags and albums, and edit them without touching the originals. It reads raw files from Canon, Sony, Nikon, Fujifilm, Panasonic, Leica, Pentax and Olympus cameras, and DNG. There is no account, no cloud, no telemetry and no subscription. It runs on Windows, macOS and Linux, and in a web browser. LightCraft is in alpha, so expect rough edges.
