Version 1.2.4 What's new
Two formats per OS. The installer (Windows) and disk image (Mac) are the friendlier first-run path; the portable zips are there if you prefer not to run an installer.
Windows 10 or 11
Download installer (.exe)Recommended. Installs to Program Files, registers an uninstaller, and adds a Start Menu group.
PhotoTaken.exe.
macOS 12 or later, M1 and later
Download disk image (.dmg)Recommended. Mounts a drag-to-install volume with the app and the manual.
PhotoTaken.app wherever you like.
Read the full Documentation.
Download PhotoTaken and enter your email address. That is the whole setup: 14 days with every feature switched on, no credit card and no license key.
Nothing starts counting when you download. The 14 days begin when you open PhotoTaken and click Start free trial, so you can grab it today and start whenever your week is clear.
Your picks, ratings, and keywords are written into your own photo files and sidecars, not locked inside the app. Nothing you tag during the trial is lost when it ends, and nothing needs importing again when you buy.
One trial per computer. When it ends, enter a license key and carry on where you left off.
The trial is the Pro edition, so every feature is switched on. If you buy Light afterwards, the Pro-only features turn off. Nothing you tagged goes anywhere.
The Mac build is signed with our Apple Developer ID and notarized by Apple, so it opens normally. The Windows build is code-signed by LorMarSoft, LLC, so you see our verified name instead of an unknown publisher. Windows may still show a SmartScreen notice on a fresh release until enough people have downloaded it. It takes one click to clear, and it is not a sign that anything is wrong with the file.
This build of PhotoTaken.app is signed with our Apple Developer ID and notarized by Apple, so macOS Gatekeeper lets it open normally. No warning, no Privacy & Security detour.
Just open the disk image, drag PhotoTaken.app into Applications, and double-click to launch.
1. Downloading (Edge only). Microsoft Edge warns that the file "isn't commonly downloaded". To keep it: open the Downloads panel, click the … beside the installer, choose Keep, then Show more and Keep anyway. Edge tucks that last option away; the buttons you see first are Cancel and Delete. Chrome and Firefox use their own reputation systems and typically download it without comment.
2. Running it. Whichever browser you used, Windows itself checks the file when you open it, so downloading in Chrome moves the warning here rather than avoiding it. Windows shows a full-screen notice headed "Windows protected your PC". The Run anyway button is hidden until you click More info first.
LORMARSOFT, LLC, which is how you can tell the file is genuinely ours. Click Run anyway.3. Installing. User Account Control asks "Do you want to allow this app to make changes to your device?", showing Verified publisher: LorMarSoft, LLC. Click Yes. The installer only writes to its own folder in Program Files and the Start Menu.
None of this is a virus warning. Microsoft Defender SmartScreen is saying only that it has not yet seen this exact file downloaded many times, and every new release starts that count over. Microsoft removed the option to pay for an exemption in 2024, so every small developer distributing outside their Store hits it.
The prompts show you who signed it: LORMARSOFT, LLC, Naples, Florida. To check for yourself before running it, right-click the installer, choose Properties, and open the Digital Signatures tab.
