You can query the Photos library database — for example, file name, file path, and metadata such as keywords/tags, persons/faces, albums, etc. You can also easily export both the original and edited photos. OSXPhotos also works with iPhoto libraries though some features are available only for Photos. Table of Contents Supported operating systems Installation Documentation Getting Help Command Line Usage Command Line Examples Tutorial Command Line Reference: export Files Created By OSXPhotos Python API Template System Related Projects Contributing Known Bugs and Limitations Implementation Notes Acknowledgements Supported operating systems Tested on Ubuntu Linux and macOS. Many features are only available on macOS. On Linux, macOS-specific features of the CLI will not be available (these will not be shown in the help output). The export and query CLI commands as well as the Python API will work on Linux which enables you to export photos from a Photos library on a Linux machine. Tested on macOS Sierra (10.12.6) through macOS Sequoia (15.i7.2). Tested on both x86 and Apple silicon (M1). Most features work on macOS 26.1 but OSXPhotos does yet fully support 26.x. Notably OSXPhotos cannot read shared albums on macOS 26.x. macOS Version macOS name Photos.app version ----------------- ------------ :-------------------- 26.0 Tahoe 11.0 (limited testing) ✅ 15.0 - 15.6 Sequ","default_branch":null,"files":null,"tree":[],"storefront":"/r/RhetTbull","claimed":false,"request_supported":{"post":"https://gitbuyer.com/r/RhetTbull/osxphotos/request-supported","requests":0},"note":"indexed from public GitHub; nothing is for sale on this page.
