Cull thousands of RAW frames at the speed of the arrow key.
RobinRAW is a ruthlessly minimal macOS app for picking your keepers
before Lightroom. Open a folder of RAW, flip through frame by frame with no
lag, set ratings, and they propagate to Lightroom Classic via XMP sidecars.
Coming soon to the Mac App Store
What it does
Instant previews. The next frame is ready before you press → — it reads the camera's embedded preview instead of demosaicing.
Keyboard-driven. Arrows to move, number keys to rate, flags and colour labels — full-screen, black background, nothing in the way.
Pixel-peep when it matters. Click or press Space to snap to 1:1 and check critical focus.
Works with your camera. Sony, Canon, Nikon, Fujifilm, OM System, Panasonic, Pentax, Ricoh and more.
Ratings travel. Stars, picks and colour labels are written as XMP sidecars next to your RAW — Lightroom Classic reads them on import.
