Cyme’s Photo Management App Update

Peakto 2.5, the latest update of Cyme’s AI-powered photo management app for macOS, is here. The big new feature turns a user’s Mac into a secure private server, letting photographers share and collaborate on images remotely through an encrypted connection. Cyme says the update aims to solve a common problem for photographers: having to choose between cloud storage, which is convenient but expensive and less private, or keeping everything local, which is safer but limits collaboration.

Peakto already works as a central hub for managing photos across multiple editing apps, including Lightroom Classic, Photoshop, Capture One, Luminar, and ON1. It uses on-device AI to automatically tag and group images, detect faces, and let users search their libraries. The app can also analyse photos based on their visual qualities, breaking down things like colour harmony, composition, and metadata patterns to help you sort and evaluate your work more efficiently.

According to Cyme co-founder and CEO Claudia Zimmer, Peakto 2.5 “offers the security of local storage with the flexibility of the cloud, without the risks, fees, or data exposure.” The new collaborative features, along with guest sharing and a soon-to-launch Premiere Pro plugin, are included in the Professional plan, which starts at $25 per month.
