How it works

Card to library in three steps.

  1. 1

    Put in a card

    Camera Sink notices it right away and counts what's new.

  2. 2

    Name the day, if you like

    Type “Jake's Wedding” and it goes into every folder and file name. Or leave it blank and it starts by itself.

  3. 3

    That's it

    Every photo is copied, read back and checked. A ✓ in the menu bar means it's all safe.

Features

Careful with every photo.

11-14

Folders that make sense

By year, month and day, with RAW, JPG and video side by side. Change the pattern to suit you.

Never copies twice

It knows what's already in your library. Click Learn Library once, and it spots photos you copied in by hand years ago too.

Waits for your drive

Library on an external drive or a NAS? If it's unplugged, the import waits until it's back.

Import When Connected

Keeps pairs together

RAW and JPG share a number. Edit files and voice memos travel with their photo.

Organize a Folder

Messy old folders, sorted too.

Drag any folder onto the menu bar icon. Name the days you remember from their thumbnails, and Camera Sink files the rest.

Questions

Does it change anything on my card?

No. Camera Sink only reads your card. Nothing on it is ever moved, renamed or deleted.

Which cameras does it work with?

Almost any camera that saves to a memory card: Nikon, Canon, Sony, Fujifilm, Panasonic LUMIX, OM System, GoPro, DJI drones, RED and AVCHD camcorders. RAW, JPG, HEIC and the usual video formats are covered. A few formats, like 360° video, stay on the card, and Camera Sink tells you so.

Does it work with Lightroom or Apple Photos?

Yes. Camera Sink fills ordinary folders on your drive, so you can open or import them in Lightroom, Capture One, Photos or anything else.

Where can my library live?

On your Mac, an external drive or a network drive. If the drive is unplugged when a card goes in, Camera Sink waits for it.

What happens after the free trial?

The 7 days start with your first import. After that, buy a license for $19 to keep importing. Everything already in your library stays exactly where it is.

Does Camera Sink go online?

Only to check your license: once when you enter it, and briefly about once a month after that. Just the license key and your Mac's name are sent. Your photos never leave your drives.

What do I need?

A Mac with macOS 14 Sonoma or later, and a card reader (built in or plugged in).
