05 / SOME THINGS SHOULD STAY LOCAL

NO CLOUD.
JUST YOUR MAC.

Your photos don’t need a trip to a server to lose a few megabytes. Pinch does the work right on your Mac.

  • No uploads or processing account.
  • Originals kept by default.
  • Choose which metadata to remove.

THE SMALL PRINT, MINUS THE SQUINT

Glad
you asked.

01What kind of Mac do I need?

Pinch runs on macOS 15 (Sequoia) or later, on both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs. It’s a native Mac app that lives in your menu bar.

02Do my files leave my Mac?

No. Image compression, video exports, and screenshot organization happen locally. There’s no upload step or account needed to process your files.

03What happens to my originals?

Pinch saves beside your originals by default. You can choose another folder or opt into replacing originals. Undo is available during your session, and Pinch protects generated files you’ve edited since compression.

04Which formats can I use?

Export images as WebP, JPG, PNG, HEIC, or AVIF. Transparency is supported in WebP, PNG, and AVIF. For video, make a smaller clip, export an MP4, or turn a selected moment into a GIF. Animated and multipage image inputs aren’t supported.

05Do I have to give Pinch access to Finder?

Only if you want the shortcut that reads your current Finder selection. You can decline and still choose files, use Open With, or drop files onto the menu-bar icon. The App Store version also asks you to choose the folders it can work in.

06Is it a subscription?

The planned App Store release is a one-time purchase. Final pricing will be shown on the App Store when Pinch launches.
