What Priime is
Priime is a freemium photo-editing suite for macOS, iOS, and Android, with RAW support, masking tools, and batch editing. AI retouching is not included. The iPhone app offers photographer-authored styles, adjustable intensity, and manual controls for exposure, white balance, contrast, highlights, shadows, vignette, and grain. It is free on the App Store with no subscription, keeps photos on the device, and reports no tracking or telemetry. Priime RAW for iPad provides 16-bit non-destructive RAW editing, Apple Pencil masking, local adjustments, camera tethering, histograms, and versioned edits. Priime for Mac works with folders or a managed library and supports keyboard shortcuts, batch export, external-editor round-trips, AppleScript, and Shortcuts. Lightroom presets and profiles are sold in six listed packs, with Lightroom Classic 7.3 or later and Lightroom cloud environments supported. iPhone and iPad can sync favorites and recent edits through iCloud. Support usually replies within a day or two.
