Support & FAQ

Does Nimble Photo move, copy, or rename my files?

No. Nimble Photo works directly on your existing folder structure, in place. Files are never renamed, copied, deleted, or relocated into a "library." Classification is written as a standard macOS Finder tag on the file itself — nothing else changes.

Where is my classification data stored?

In the files themselves, as native macOS Finder tags — so they show up in Finder, Spotlight, and any other tag-aware tool, and survive moving the file to another Mac. Nimble Photo also keeps a local cache purely for speed. You can delete it at any time; relaunch the app and it rebuilds itself from your files in seconds, with nothing lost.

What file formats does Nimble Photo support?

JPEG, PNG, WEBP, HEIC/HEIF, TIFF, and RAW (CR2, DNG, RAF) photos, plus MP4, MOV, and M4V video — all sorted together by date taken, in the same grid and the same full-size viewer.

Can I rename the categories?

Yes. Rename any of the four working categories — "Delete" can become "Reject," "Star" can become "Portfolio," whatever matches how you work. Colors and keystrokes stay put, and Nimble Photo safely migrates the Finder tags on every already-classified file to match.

What are the system requirements?

macOS 15 Sequoia or later. Nimble Photo is built natively with SwiftUI, fully sandboxed, and distributed through the Mac App Store.

Is Nimble Photo free?

Pricing hasn't been announced yet — check the Mac App Store listing for current details closer to launch.

What file format does Nimble Task use?

Nimble Task reads and writes plain-text files using the widely used TaskPaper format. You structure your file with Areas (prefixed with *), Projects (lines ending with :), Tasks (prefixed with -), and Notes (plain lines). Tags use the @tagname syntax. The file is yours — you can open it in any text editor.

Nimble Task adds two things to the standard TaskPaper format: Areas, which let you optionally group projects into higher-level domains, and a different note behavior — notes belong to their enclosing project, not to the task above them. This makes it easy to jot down thoughts while reviewing a project.

Where is my data stored?

Your tasks live in a local text file that you create and choose where to save. Nimble Task does not use any cloud service or external server. You can create separate files for different areas of your life — one for work, one for home, one for a side project — and open them one at a time.

Can I sync tasks between multiple Macs?

Since your tasks are just a plain-text file, you can place it in a folder synced by iCloud Drive, Dropbox, or any other file-syncing service to access it from another Mac.

How do tags and filtering work?

Add tags anywhere in your text using the @tagname syntax (e.g. @urgent, @waiting). Tags are detected automatically and appear as clickable pill buttons above the editor. Click a tag to filter — click additional tags to narrow the results further. You can also search by keyword with ⌘F.

When a filter is active (tag or search), the view is read-only — you can browse but not edit. Press Escape or click the × button to clear all filters and return to editing.

Is Nimble Task really free?

Yes. There are no in-app purchases, no subscriptions, and no ads. Nimble Task is completely free.

How does Nimble Text work?

Nimble Text opens with whatever's currently on your clipboard, drops you straight into an editable scratchpad, and copies your edited text back to the clipboard when you're done. There's no file to create or save — the clipboard is the whole workflow.

Does Nimble Text save my clipboard content anywhere?

No. Nimble Text works entirely in memory on your Mac. It doesn't write your clipboard content to disk or send it anywhere.

Is Nimble Text free?

Yes. There are no in-app purchases, no subscriptions, and no ads.
