Download Phoaly
The current build for macOS. Download the DMG, drag Phoaly into Applications, and your existing index and settings carry over.
Latest release
Fixes
- Fixed a crash in face indexing, People, photo categories, and visual search in the signed release. The bundled ONNX Runtime was blocked by macOS library validation; the app now carries the required entitlement.
- Fixed activation and device management reporting cannot connect on high-latency networks. Interactive requests now wait up to 30 seconds and retry once; background checks stay at 5 seconds and no longer block the UI.
- The license service now uses only the phoaly.com endpoint instead of first trying a subdomain that was never deployed.
Notes
- This release contains fixes only; no new features.
- macOS 13 or later, Apple silicon.
- In-app update checks, signature verification, and installation on restart.
Install
- Download the DMG and open it.
- Drag Phoaly into the Applications folder, replacing the older copy.
- Start Phoaly. If macOS says it cannot verify the developer, open System Settings → Privacy & Security and choose Open Anyway.
Neither this page nor the update check asks for anything about you or your photos: the app sends its architecture and interface language, and nothing else leaves your Mac.
