#1 Ask
Say what you want
Type “golden hour”, “down exposure by ten points” or “paste the edits from the previous photo”. A small Rembrandt thinks it over, then moves each slider while you watch, with Undo.
⌘ K Ask
Develop RAW files, ask for a look in plain words, or just drag on the photo. Free on your own computer, the code is public, and your edits are plain XMP files next to your photos.
#0 Develop
We think you should own your editor the way you own your camera. So Rembrandt is free on your computer, open for anyone to read, and paid only where it costs us money every month: keeping your photos online.
The code is under the GPL, so nobody, including us, can take it back or close it later.
No investors and no ads. Your photos are never used to train anything.
If we ever stop, you still have the app, the source and your edits in an open format. Every slider, mask and AI tool runs on your own machine. Your photos never leave it unless you send them somewhere.
#2 Touch
Drag up or down on any part of the picture to lighten or darken that tone, left or right to change that colour. A label shows what you’re about to change; the sliders follow.
#3 Refocus
Measures how far out of focus the photo is and brings the detail back, even from heavy blur, on the subject or the whole picture. Deconvolution on your GPU, no upload.
#4 Super Resolution
2× and 4× with real detail, or Restore at the same size to sharpen soft and slightly out-of-focus shots. Runs on your GPU, through Metal on Apple silicon.
#5 Masks
Brush, linear and radial gradients, colour and tone ranges, each with its own sliders. Subject, background, object and depth masks are found by AI on your device.
M MasksO Overlay
#6 Remove
Click a dust spot or paint over something you don’t want. Rembrandt fills it from a matching patch; drag the source if you want a different one.
Q RemoveH Hide spots
#7 Compare
Split or side by side with a divider you can drag. The histogram updates as you work and can mark clipped highlights and shadows.

#8 Library
Albums, stars, flags, smart collections and search. Point it at a folder and it stays in sync, or bring a Lightroom Classic catalog with its edits.
#9 Self-host
One command serves the editor and a photo folder to every browser on your network. It updates itself from Settings.
Open a folder and keep your photos where they are, or bring a whole library over with its ratings, flags and edits.
