gBrowser
gBrowser is a macOS image browser and organizer for viewing folders, sorting photos, and managing files without importing them into a separate library.
What is gBrowser?
gBrowser is a native macOS image browser and organizer built for people who want to work directly with folders of pictures instead of importing them into a separate photo library. It helps users browse image collections with large thumbnails, preview files quickly, and sort or move selected photos during cleanup and culling workflows. The app is especially useful after photo shoots, when you need to compare images, flag keepers, and organize files across folders. It also includes tools for batch renaming, viewing image details such as EXIF and GPS information, and showing image locations on a map when that data is present. Slideshow viewing and a Quick View-style preview window support both single-display and multi-monitor setups. gBrowser is published by Andreas Schwarz.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
gBrowser is ordinary photo-management software for macOS. It works with the folders and image files you choose, so it may access photos, metadata, and related file locations as part of normal use. Actions such as moving, sorting, or batch renaming files can change your photo library structure, so it is wise to work on copies or keep a backup before making large changes. No special concern is implied by its normal access to image folders for browsing and organization.
Recommendation: Keep gBrowser if you use it to sort, preview, or organize image folders on your Mac. If you no longer use it, you can remove it like other apps, but consider keeping backups of photo folders before relying on any bulk move or rename workflow elsewhere.
