The fastest first pass in photography.
No import. No catalog. The folder is the catalog.
Click a folder of 2,000 RAWs and start culling immediately — while catalog apps are still importing, f/uno is already on frame forty.
No import step, no indexing, no database. Thumbnails stream from embedded previews the moment a folder is clicked — local drive or external SSD.
Stars, color labels, and rejects on the keys, with auto-advance. Rate a frame, you're already looking at the next one. Lightroom-matched filters: at least / exactly / at most.
Compare up to four near-identical frames with synchronized zoom — scroll on one and all four magnify the same eye. The sharpest frame wears the crown.
Every face cropped and graded: eyes open, squinting, or closed — smile-aware, so a laughing kid doesn't sink the frame. Click a face to inspect it at 1:1. All on-device.
Sharpness measured on the subject's face, not the whole frame. A crisp portrait against creamy bokeh scores high. A busy back-focused frame doesn't fake it.
Selects ship straight to Lightroom's import dialog or open in Photoshop, ratings and labels intact. Folder templates build your shoot structure in one click.
Ratings live in standard XMP sidecars. Lightroom, Capture One, and Photo Mechanic read them natively.
Ingest copies from memory cards — never moves, never modifies. The card stays exactly as shot.
Nothing is ever deleted in place. Every file operation is undoable.
Quit f/uno and your work is still in your folders and sidecars, readable by everything. There is no catalog to lose.
Beta — free while we tune it with working photographers.
