Seashore (software)

Seashore is an image editor for Mac OS X that is based on the technology of GIMP, with a clean user interface (using Cocoa). Seashore uses GIMP's native file format, XCF, and has support for a handful of other graphics file formats, including full support for TIFF, PNG, and JPEG, and read-only support for BMP, PDF and GIF. Seashore offers a smaller number of features in comparison with GIMP, but it includes layers and alpha channel support, gradients and transparency effects, anti-aliased brushes, tablet support and plug-in filters.

Seashore version 0.5.1 was released in 2010 and is considered to be in Beta stages. The last stable release is more than seven years old, and the most recent preview release is over three years old.

It lacks many features that GIMP has, but Seashore's purpose is to become an easy-to-use free software graphics editor that runs natively on Mac OS X. Seashore is written using the native Mac toolkit, Cocoa.
