The open-source work Luz Photo and this site are built on.

GeoNames

Place names — city, region and country — are worked out entirely on your own Mac from a bundled list of towns and cities. Nothing is ever looked up online.

That list comes from the GeoNames geographical database, used under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International licence.

Typefaces

This site uses Coconat, Geist and Geist Mono. They are licensed under the SIL Open Font License and are served from this domain — no font request leaves for a third party, so no visitor’s IP address reaches one.

Apple frameworks

Image analysis, text recognition, rendering and playback are done with Apple’s own frameworks — Vision, Core Image, ImageIO, PDFKit, AVFoundation and Quick Look — running on your Mac.
