A QUIET PHOTO INGEST UTILITY

Take more photos.
Leave the importing to us.

Connect a memory card and launch Photo Ferry. Photos and videos go to Apple Photos; RAW files go to your chosen archive. The moment you import, everything starts falling into place.

Quietly at work. Precise and fast.

PHOTO FERRY UNIVERSAL
01 / THE PROCESS

Connect. Check. Leave the rest to us.

Build an organized collection from the moment you import.

01

Connect and launch

Connect a card, then launch the app. A single DCIM card is selected automatically. Or choose a folder when no card is connected.

02

Check and import

Existing items are checked to reduce repeat imports. Files needing a decision are presented for your review.

03

Arrive in order

Photos and videos land in Apple Photos; RAW files are archived to your chosen folder. Review the voyage log.

02 / THE ROUTE

One departure. Two destinations.

What the current app does

Duplicate checks

Checks items with matching full filenames and compares original content where possible.

Originals preserved

Leaves the selected source files in place while importing and copying RAW files.

Voyage log

Records new items, skipped files and results requiring attention.

Dated RAW archive

RAW files are sorted by year and month when dates are available; unknown dates go into a review folder.

Current release notes

Based on Universal 2.1.3 (build 2026-10-03). Connecting a card does not launch the app automatically. Content comparisons are limited in size and count; the app does not detect every visually similar image with a different name. Apple notarization is not yet complete.

Keep it tidy from the very first import.
