Immich

Pictaria Server is a self-hosted photo-intelligence and curation server for Immich libraries, developed by Pictaria. It provides a private web dashboard for collection insights, optional AI enrichment, human photo review, and Smart Albums that synchronize saved Immich searches on a schedule. Its curation workflow groups photos from the same moment into similarity stacks and suggests which photos to keep using frame-worthiness scores; an optional AI referee can compare grouped photos, while human decisions take precedence. Enrichment classifies selected images with operator-hosted Ollama, LM Studio, llama.cpp, or other OpenAI-compatible endpoints, as well as supported cloud providers. Smart Albums can apply saved searches and a Best of mode that ranks results using enrichment data, curation decisions, and photo scores. The server can run as a Docker container or directly on Node.

SCM is a local-first macOS application for searching photos and videos by visual content, visible text, and spoken dialogue. It indexes whole files with local vision models, segments videos into scenes so searches can jump to a timecode, runs Tesseract OCR for literal text matching, and uses Whisper transcripts for exact spoken-word searches. An optional local LLM can answer questions over extracted dialogue, OCR, and filename evidence with citations. The app imports files through manual selection, drag-and-drop, or watched folders. It content-hashes files for rename-proof deduplication, stores embeddings and media metadata locally, and can re-embed a library when the selected vision model changes. Model weights and language packs download once; subsequent inference runs offline, with no accounts, uploads, or telemetry. SCM is distributed as an Electron application for macOS, including a Homebrew cask and packaged DMG/ZIP builds.

Lap is an open-source, local-first desktop photo manager for macOS, Windows, and Linux. It works directly with existing folders and keeps original photos and videos on the user's disk rather than requiring cloud upload or a closed import database. It provides browsing and filtering by metadata, folders, locations, cameras, tags, ratings, and faces; map views; rule-based Smart Albums; collections; duplicate detection and cleanup; culling and comparison tools; editing; format support for photos, RAW files, and videos; and support for grouped assets such as Live Photos and RAW-plus-JPEG/HEIC pairs. Its local AI features use ONNX Runtime with CLIP for image-text similarity search and InsightFace for face detection and recognition. AI search, visual similarity, subject tags, face clustering, and optional multilingual search run on the local machine. The application is built with Tauri and Rust, with a Vue/Vite/Tailwind frontend and SQLite storage; local catalog data includes collections, tags, ratings, culling states, Smart Album rules, AI indexes, face data, and thumbnails, while the original media remains in ordinary filesystem folders. Lap is distributed as desktop packages for macOS, Windows, and Linux, including a Homebrew cask, Debian packages, and AppImages. It is licensed under GPL-3.0-or-later.

Prismedia is a private, self-hosted media library for managing and using movies, series, music, books, audiobooks, comics, images, and galleries across a web app and native apps for iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV. It uses a shared media entity containing an item's identity, metadata, artwork, files, relationships, and personal progress, while providing medium-specific playback, reading, and listening experiences. The server scans watched folders, identifies items through metadata-provider plugins, organizes files and relationships, and supports browser and native playback with resume support, subtitles, and client-dependent direct playback or conversion. It includes EPUB, PDF, and comic readers, audiobook playback, music queues, media requests through optional indexers and download clients, household accounts, background jobs, and database backups. It runs as a Docker container containing the database, web app, API, worker, and media tools; users supply their own media files.

OmaPhoto is a layered image editor for Linux, developed first for Omarchy. It provides layers, folders, masks, clipping masks, blend modes, selections, painting and retouching tools, transforms, adjustment layers, layer effects, filters, text, shapes, and image export. It imports JPEG, PNG, TIFF, HEIC, Photoshop files, and camera RAW images. OmaPhoto is a Linux port of Wonder Assembly's macOS Compositor and follows Compositor's tools, menus, shortcuts, and layered project format. It can read and write .comp projects so projects can move between the two applications. Its offline Remove Background feature uses U²-Net through ONNX Runtime; the editor also includes Content-Aware Fill, Gaussian and motion blur, noise, lens correction, and other image adjustments. The project distributes packages for x86_64 Arch, Ubuntu, Fedora, and NixOS systems, and can also be built from source with Docker or a C++20, Qt 6.4-or-later, CMake, Ninja, image-format, RAW-processing, font, and ONNX Runtime toolchain. It is licensed under MIT.
