A fast image viewer and slideshow app for the Mac. Browse a folder, look through it, throw out what is bad, and file what is good. All from the keyboard.
Press ← → Return or Delete. Click the window for every key.
Each job starts with a key you already know from Finder. It does four jobs, and it reads every format macOS reads. Wêne is a port of Phoenix Slides, written again in Rust for today's Mac.
Your folders, in the order Finder keeps.
Return, and the slideshow starts.
Throw out the bad ones, file the good ones.
Your default viewer, from Finder.
Nothing is ever deleted for real, and nothing is ever replaced.
⌘ ⌫ asks no question: the system trash is the safety net. A name the target folder already holds keeps both files, the way Finder does. ⌘ Z takes back any cull, move or copy of the session.
Wêne shows up under Open With in Finder. Get Info › Open with › Change All makes it the default. Opening images shows their folder, with them selected; no slideshow starts on its own.

Two crates: a portable core that scans, sorts and moves files, and the macOS shell.
