Archyv for Mac

Batch photo and media file manager for macOS — rename from metadata, convert formats, find duplicates, and edit metadata across hundreds of files at once.

$99.00

Version 1.4.2

Archyv overview

Archyv is a native macOS app for managing large photo and media collections in bulk. It runs twelve focused processes over a folder you choose: batch renaming from each file's own metadata, manual pattern renaming, image conversion to six formats, duplicate and near-duplicate detection, a full IPTC/EXIF/XMP metadata editor, photographer and copyright attribution, a read-only metadata inspector, species tagging with Darwin Core taxonomy, folder generation, templated file transfer with checksum verification, sequence renumbering, and metadata-based selection filters. It reads 40 file formats across 44 extensions — standard image formats, RAW from the major camera makers, and video — and writes metadata to 32 of them, using a bundled copy of ExifTool. Everything runs on your own machine. There is no account and no cloud processing; your photos never leave your Mac. Changes made in place are recorded in a change history and can be undone for a retention period you set, removed duplicates go to the Trash, and conversions write new files rather than altering the originals. A Simulation Mode performs a full run without changing anything so you can read the result first.

What's new in version 1.4.2

Fixed
  • Archyv no longer opens to only the Help window on macOS Sonoma and Sequoia after a force quit, crash, or restart with "Reopen windows" enabled. The first launch of this update clears the stuck state on its own.
  • Metadata edits on video files now stick everywhere. Where a video carries the camera's own copy of a field, Archyv updates it alongside its own, so capture-date corrections and other edits show correctly in VLC, Plex, Jellyfin and Windows File Explorer.
  • Clearing a location on a video now actually removes the coordinates. Previously the log reported success while the coordinates stayed on the file.
  • Metadata Editor: removing a coordinate clears the map pin; coordinates held only in a sidecar reach the editor correctly on video and DNG files; "fill in only what is empty" now applies to GPS fields; protected-field warnings no longer block safe writes on files whose copyright lives only in the sidecar.
  • Completion lists now name every processed file, including files that share a name across different folders, and show old → new names with the source folder for every rename.
  • File Sort messages show your real filenames instead of Archyv's temporary working names.
  • Processing History records the destination folder for File Transfer, not the source.
  • Completion summary duration now covers the whole run, including the metadata read at the start.
  • Undo now records which photo each companion file travelled with, so a RAW file and a second RAW format sharing a name can no longer have their edit files swapped on undo.
  • Hover help beside labels now appears reliably.
