Numa — Support

Numa is a photo editor for iPhone, iPad and Mac, and for Linux. Here's how to get help.

Guide

  • How to do something in Numaguide.numa.photoEvery feature, and where to find it, on Linux, iPhone, iPad and Mac.

Contact

When you report a problem, it helps to say which device and version you use (About, in the ⋯ menu on the Libraries page, shows the version), what you did, and what you expected to happen. A screenshot is welcome. If Numa crashed, you can include a report: the Diagnostics screen (iPhone, iPad and Mac) or “Send Report…” at the next start (Linux) shows it, and you choose whether to send it.

Common questions

Where are my photographs kept?

Wherever you keep them: in the folders and drives you add as libraries (an external drive, a NAS or a synced folder such as iCloud Drive or OneDrive included), or in your Photos library. Numa reaches them through your device’s own files; it has no cloud of its own and no account. If you choose, a library syncs both ways with Numa Home, a photo server that you run yourself.

Does Numa upload my photographs?

Only to a Numa Home server that you run yourself, and only after you sign in to it and choose Send Home, Keep at Numa Home or Sync to Numa Home. Numa has no cloud of its own and sends nothing to the developer.

Why does Numa ask to download things?

Some features use AI models or camera profiles that are too large to include in the app. You choose which to download in Add-ons; each one says what it's for and how big it is. Everything runs on your device.

My camera's colours look different from its own JPEGs.

Choose a camera profile in the Colour tab. If your camera isn't listed, you can import profiles in Add-ons.

A library on an external drive or SD card says "Not connected".

Numa remembers it and shows the thumbnails it already made. Your stars and flags are kept and added to the library when you connect the drive again.

Does Numa work on Mac?

Yes: the same purchase works on iPhone, iPad and Apple silicon Macs.
