About Oculante

Oculante is an image viewer written in Rust that opens a wide range of formats quickly and includes a set of basic editing tools, so small adjustments can be made without switching to a full editor.

It runs on Windows, macOS and Linux, and the repository also contains a NetBSD build script. The project is currently in maintenance mode, so expect fixes rather than new features.
