Peakto 2.6 Is Here

Peakto 2.6 is here, the latest update of Cyme’s macOS photo and media management software. The main change in this version is a new system-wide duplicate and similarity detection tool. Instead of only scanning a selected folder or catalog, Peakto can now analyse your entire photo library at once, no matter where the files are stored. That includes internal drives, external storage, network drives, and catalogs from various apps. The goal is to identify similar images, near-duplicates, and redundant files across everything in one pass.

This builds on Peakto’s approach of acting as a layer above different editing apps and storage locations. The software already supports a wide range of platforms, including Adobe Lightroom Classic, Photoshop, Capture One, Luminar, ON1, DxO PhotoLab, Apple Photos, and Premiere Pro. Peakto indexes photos from all of these sources and shows them in a single interface, where you can search by content, people, or metadata and build albums that pull from multiple locations at once.

Alongside the scanning and indexing improvements, version 2.6 also updates Peakto’s web tools, allowing teams to view and share libraries online. Peakto 2.6 is available as either a subscription or a one-time purchase. Subscriptions start at $10 per month for individual use, while a lifetime license for the standard (non-collaborative) version costs $270.
