Mac App Store What it does
Menu bar panel. FrameFerret is on. Sony α6700 is ready, battery at 86 percent, with a Sync button. Below that: Settings, Check, Sync, Activity, and Quit.

Apple Photos or a folder

Photos and videos go to Apple Photos, or to a folder grouped by capture date.

  • Apple Photos. Photos and videos go into your library.
  • A folder. Original files are saved in folders grouped by capture date.

Choose one destination in Settings. FrameFerret keeps a separate import history for each destination.

Destination settings. Apple Photos is selected and access is allowed. A folder is the other choice. The sidebar shows General, Cameras, Destination, and Logging.

The days you choose

Your first import lets you choose everything, a starting date, or individual days. Bring in a recent trip or an older collection without selecting each file.

FrameFerret records completed imports and checks the destination for existing files. This reduces repeated transfers and duplicate copies. If a match is uncertain, FrameFerret imports the file and marks it for review.

RAW, JPEG, HEIF, and video

FrameFerret supports RAW, JPEG, and HEIF photos, with an option to include videos.

In Apple Photos, you can keep a RAW file and its JPEG or HEIF companion together as one photo. You can also import them separately. When you choose a folder, FrameFerret saves both files separately.

FrameFerret keeps the originals on the camera’s memory card. When it saves to a folder, it preserves existing files.

The menu bar has Check, Sync, and Activity.

  • Check camera availability. See which configured cameras are ready to connect.
  • Start a sync. Use the Sync control when you want to import new files.
  • Follow progress. See the current file and overall progress while an import runs.
  • Continue working. Close the import window while the transfer continues.
  • Review activity. Check completed imports, skipped files, and errors in the Activity window.

You can configure more than one camera. FrameFerret processes imports one at a time.

The camera can turn off

FrameFerret can turn off a compatible camera when an import finishes. Enable this option for each camera in Settings. The completion message confirms the result or reminds you to turn the camera off.
