A macOS image editor for Apple Silicon

About
A new macOS image editor with familiar key bindings and a somewhat retro aesthetic. Keeping the dream of the '90s alive!
No AI tools here – plenty of other apps do that. We focus on deterministic and mathematical mutations rather than stochastically generated slop.
Not much here yet, really just the proto nucleus of an image editing app. But feel free to try it out and send feedback.
Built for Apple Silicon. Requires macOS 15 Sequoia.
