Immich
photos.itzgee.com
The photo library that never phones home.
replaces Google Photos · iCloud Photos
Immich is a private photo and video platform with the polish of the big services: automatic phone backup, a fast timeline, albums, sharing and machine-learning search. The difference is where the intelligence runs — facial recognition and object search happen on this hardware, and your memories never leave it.
what it does
Automatic mobile backup
The iOS and Android apps upload new photos and videos in the background. Lose the phone, keep the memories.
Search by what’s in the picture
“Dog on a beach”, “red car”, a person’s face — the ML models index your library so you can find anything in seconds.
On-node intelligence
Face grouping and smart search run on the server itself. No cloud API sees a single pixel.
Albums & sharing
Organise into albums and share them with other people on the platform, or via link.
RAW and video friendly
Handles RAW formats and transcodes video for smooth playback on any device.

Runs inside the same defences as everything else here — /security for the six layers, /mesh for the tunnel it's backed up across.
