About Immich
Immich is an open-source, self-hosted system for managing photos and videos. It includes a mobile app and a web interface, and the project is published on GitHub under the AGPL-3.0 license. The mobile app can back up photos and videos automatically, with options to select specific albums and to prevent duplicate uploads. Both mobile and web versions support multiple users, albums and shared albums, search by metadata, objects, faces, and CLIP, and map-based metadata views.
Some features are available on only one platform. Offline support is listed for the mobile app but not the web interface. User management and tags are listed for the web interface but not the mobile app. The project's documentation, including installation guides, is at immich.app, and a demo is available at demo.immich.app. The project warns users to follow a 3-2-1 backup plan for their photos and videos.
