Hi r/macapps
I’m finishing a lightweight image viewer for macOS and I’m still unsure about the name Titta (Swedish for “look”). While early testing, I’ve received feedback that the word gives off an odd vibe in English, so I’d love a quick sanity check.
What I’d love from you
- First thought: When you read or hear “Titta,” what do you feel or picture?
- Name ideas: If you think Titta won’t land well, suggest a short, clear alternative that still says “image viewer” or “quick look.” Up-vote names you like.
Reward
I’ll DM a free App Store promo code to the top-voted alternate name (or to the commenter who convinces me to keep “Titta”) once the app goes live.
Problem
- MacOS Quick Look might not be the best tool for handling big folders, and it doesn’t let you easily mark important files or compare images.
- Power-user viewers exist, but many feel bloated or haven’t been updated in years.
Comparison
vs Xee³ – Xee³ is quick but lacks a pick/filter workflow and synced-zoom, higher RAM use, and its last major update was years ago.
vs ApolloOne – ApolloOne is feature-rich but heavier. Titta keeps navigation snappy and UI interactions lag-free even in huge folders.
vs Pixea – Pixea down-samples during browsing. Titta always shows each image at its true resolution while staying responsive.
vs Apple Quick Look – Titta keeps speed in large directories, remembers your picks, and shows thumbnails all the time.
Pricing
Final price not decided yet.
If you’d rather try it first, the TestFlight is here: https://testflight.apple.com/join/MgQB29yU (feedback welcome but not required for the name poll).
Thanks for helping choose a name that feels right! 🙏
