FlowVision
FlowVision is a macOS image and video browser built for quickly scanning large folders and managing local media files.
What is FlowVision?
FlowVision is a native macOS media browser that helps users review, organize, and preview large folders of images and videos more comfortably than Finder alone. It is designed for local-file workflows, making it useful for photographers, designers, collectors, and anyone who regularly sorts screenshots, reference images, or mixed media folders. The app supports grid and waterfall-style browsing, fast folder navigation, zooming, and direct video preview so you can inspect content without constantly switching tools. It also includes everyday file-management actions such as move, copy, rename, delete, tagging, and rating while you browse. FlowVision is published by CHUNYU DU and is available for modern versions of macOS on both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs. Its focus is on responsive browsing, local organization, and a Finder-friendly viewing experience for large personal media libraries.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
FlowVision is a local media browser for macOS, so access to your files and folders is normal for its purpose. Using its built-in file management tools can change, move, rename, or delete items, so take extra care when organizing important photo or video libraries. The app's local-first design is a positive sign for privacy-conscious users, but you should still review what folders you open and keep backups of media you cannot easily replace.
Recommendation: Keep FlowVision if you use it to browse or organize image and video folders on your Mac. If you no longer use it, removing the app is usually fine, but be mindful that any file changes you made inside the app affect the original files in those folders.
