About

This is a community package of LightCraft, maintained independently and unaffiliated with the LightCraft project. It repackages the official upstream Linux release build unmodified.

LightCraft is an open-source, native photo library and raw developer written in Rust that follows the Adobe Lightroom workflow. It is local-first: no account, no cloud and no telemetry.

  • Its own raw decoders: DNG, Canon CR2, Sony ARW, Nikon NEF, Fujifilm RAF and more
  • Scene-referred, wide-gamut develop pipeline running on the GPU
  • Color grading, tone curves, the Color Mixer, presets and profiles
  • Brush, linear, radial and range masks
  • A catalog with collections, ratings, flags and keywords
  • Scriptable from a CLI and an MCP server

The headless command runner and MCP server is included: flatpak run --command=lightcraft-cli ai.storyteller.lightcraft --help

Permissions: this package uses the same sandbox as upstream's own Flatpak manifest: display (Wayland, with X11 as a fallback), the GPU device, and the Pictures folder. Files anywhere else are opened and saved through the system file chooser. No network access is granted.

Optional overrides:

  • Let agents on the host reach the --control automation server: flatpak override --user --share=network ai.storyteller.lightcraft
  • Open files by path anywhere in your home folder (command line, Open Recent): flatpak override --user --filesystem=home ai.storyteller.lightcraft
