What's new

Sort the whole session on your Mac alone — no wifi, no waiting.

• Sorting now runs on your Mac with no internet at all. Take the laptop to the car park and hand the photos over before anyone drives off
• Waves the Mac isn't sure about land in To check, so you fix a handful instead of scrolling through everything
• See a whole wave at once, and split one in two on its own screen when it's really two rides
• Sessions screen: everything you've sorted, and what each one cost
• Already sorted on the Mac? Run the AI over it later, when you have wifi
• Usage now says which photos were free and which cost money
• Fixed: the Change plan button did nothing for anyone on a paid plan

RAW day: SurfSort now takes your camera's own files.

• Shoot RAW and point SurfSort at the folder — Canon, Nikon, Sony, Fujifilm, Olympus, Panasonic, Pentax, Leica and DNG all sort now
• Shoot RAW and JPEG together? The pair travels as one photo: both files land in the same surfer's folder, and it only counts once against your plan
• Finding surfers reads the small preview your camera tucks inside every RAW, so a RAW session isn't slower than a JPEG one
• The folder card used to count RAW files and then the sort would say it found no photos. It counts what it can actually sort now

Your lineup, your call: "Don't track" finally means it.

• People you leave out no longer get made-up "Surfer F" folders — their waves gather in one "Untracked waves" folder you can open at review and rescue waves from
• The app no longer remembers invented names between sessions, so yesterday's placeholders can't come back as "known" surfers
• The finish screen scrolls when a big day makes more folders than fit the window, and every folder card shows its real cover photo and count
• Removed the "Can't tell" chip — leaving a card blank does the same

Look closer: photos now zoom, and every screen reads waves the same way.

• Pinch to zoom on any full-screen photo — double-click jumps in, drag looks around
• "Every wave they rode" is now split into waves, with a Surfer only switch for just the surfer cut-outs
• Spot a wave in the wrong folder while naming people? Chips under each wave move it on the spot
• Review and "same surfer twice?" share the same flat look and photo size now, and the one Surfer only switch follows you across all of them

First light: SurfSort's first public version.

• Drop in a session folder and get back one folder per surfer, named and ready to hand out, in minutes
• Photos are grouped by wave first, so a surfer's whole ride stays together
• Nothing moves until you've seen the plan — and one click puts every photo back where it was
• Name a surfer once and SurfSort recognises them in the next session
• Runs on Apple silicon (M1 or newer), macOS 14 or later
