Immich is a photo and video backup application for Android that automatically syncs a media library with a private server. Users can browse, and organize their files.
Self host
It is worth noting that the app is designed for users who host their own server, allowing complete ownership over personal media content. No third-party storage or cloud provider is involved, eliminating data tracking and other risks. Moreover, those who need 2FA may install LastPass as an additional layer of protection.
Sort and share
Powered with AI-based facial recognition, the platform helps organize photos by person. The algorithms automatically detect people across your library and groups similar ones together for tagging and filtering. Thus, you can quickly find all photos featuring a specific person.
Furthermore, you are able to create shared albums for family or friends, enabling collaborative uploads and access. Multi-user support with individual login credentials ensures personal libraries remain private while allowing group collections. In other words, each individual gets a customized gallery.
