About the project

A free, open-source raster image editor for macOS written in Swift — a Photoshop alternative focused on compositing and post-processing.

Useful for
  • Build the editor from the Xcode project and modify features for your own workflow
  • Composite an image from multiple layers with masks, blend modes and adjustment layers
  • Cut out an object with Remove Background or Content-Aware Fill and export the result as JPEG

2.6 Steady Magnitude out of 10 — how fast interest is growing, not a quality score.

Star growth looks organic. Data as of November 2, 2026, 19:22 UTC.

The star-growth assessment does not verify whether the project is safe to run.

Stars per day

Bars show stars per UTC day; the line is a moving average of available history. Gaps mean missing data, not zero growth. Today's bar is incomplete. Red marks spike days.

Why it’s trending

  • Star-counter measurements on 2026-11-02 (UTC), 00:10–19:11: 18340 → 18377 stars (+37). This is the change over that interval.
  • Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +46 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
  • The repository is 47 days old and already has 18,377 stars.
  • Top new repositories in the last 4 months: #26.
  • About 11 forks a day — people are taking the code.

Measured growth: the last 7 completed days

New stars over 7 days: 481. -14% versus the preceding 7 days.

Star trust

Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.

These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
