MacPhun Software has made some of the most innovative Mac software I’ve had the pleasure to try. Their SnapHeal image editing app is one of the most effective ways to remove items seamlessly from a photo and they recently released the Lost Photos app, which scours your email account’s history for images and attachments and places them in a separate folder for ‘rediscovery’.
“The photos we email with family and friends are the ones we care the most about,” that’s what MacPhun Software had in mind when they created Lost Photos and many of us have sent and forgotten various precious photos through the years which are stuck somewhere in the cloud or in our PCs.
Using the demo of Lost Photos, I managed to recover a bunch of really important photos I had either thought I lost forever or forgotten that I had at all. I quickly reached the demo limit of what the free version could grab and decided to buy the full version which made sense at $2.99.
Using the full version of Lost Photos, I was able to dig deep into my Gmail account where I have, sad to say, thousands of emails I haven’t yet archived, and I managed to regain a ton of attachments.
Granted, the majority of the images were junk from press releases or arbitrary e-mail attachments such a logos or infographics, I still managed to recover many important family and personal images which I would have otherwise deleted or forgotten entirely.
As a result of my Lost Photos finds, I’ve been able to share the images with my friends and family and even used the photos as a means to get in touch with some that I haven’t spoken to for a long time, that’s just priceless.
MacPhun Software has proven once again that they are capable of creating solutions we don’t know we need, but value once we use. Like with their other solutions, they made Lost Photos easy to use. If you’re on a Mac and have sent tons of images via email through they years, give their demo version a try, you’ll be surprised at what you’ll find.
