TripShow
Your holiday photos,
a polished slideshow.
Point TripShow at a folder or a Photos album. It finds the places, hides the duplicates, picks the best shots, and turns it all into a cinematic slideshow you can play or export as a video — entirely on your Mac.

No timeline scrubbing, no manual sorting. TripShow does the tedious part.
Import anywhere
Pull in disk folders and Apple Photos albums — mix them in one project. Sorted by capture time automatically.
Knows the places
Reverse-geocodes each photo to city & country, and infers a location for shots with no GPS from their neighbours.
Finds the best shots
Groups near-duplicate bursts and pre-selects the sharpest frame — you just confirm or override.
AI captions, your provider
One-line descriptions from on-device Apple Intelligence, a local Ollama vision model, or a cloud model via your OpenRouter key — pick the provider per project, steer the tone with a custom prompt. Your own edits are never overwritten.
Cinematic playback
Crossfades, gentle Ken Burns motion, location title cards, and looping background music that fades in and out.
Export to video
Render the exact slideshow to 1080p or 4K, H.264 or HEVC — overlays, motion and music burned in.
Four steps to a finished film
From a messy folder to a shareable video in minutes.
Import
Choose a folder or a Photos album.
Analyze

Review
Reorder, select, caption. You stay in control.
Play & export
Watch it, then save it as a video.

Local by default
Analysis, playback and rendering run entirely on your Mac — your photos never leave it. Captions default to on-device Apple Intelligence or your own local Ollama. Choosing the cloud OpenRouter provider is the only path that uploads a photo — and TripShow asks you to confirm first, then flags it with a red privacy banner while it’s active.
