Download installerA note about first launch
The downloads are currently unsigned. On macOS, Control-click the app and choose Open. On Windows, choose More info, then Run anyway in the SmartScreen prompt. Later updates install from inside Aesthetician.
Not a filter pack
The signal path is the look.
Each treatment models the artifacts of the physical or electronic process that made the original image and sound.
Real media behavior
Film grain, halation, gate weave, composite subcarriers, tape tracking, print screens, speaker response, and codec damage behave like their historical sources.
Live, adjustable previews
Browse by family or era, compare against the original, tune every parameter, save custom looks, and export several jobs at once.
Your media stays yours
Processing runs entirely on your computer. There is no account, upload, telemetry, subscription, or remote rendering service.
Open source
Use the app. Read the engine. Make your own era.
Aesthetician is MIT licensed, with a documented CLI and declarative preset system for repeatable or batch work.
