This software is still alpha and under active development. You're welcome to join our team.

Our goal is to provide the following features (tested as a proof-of-concept):

- High-performance command line tool
- Web frontend
- No proprietary or binary data formats
- Duplicate detection
- Automated tagging using Google TensorFlow
- Reverse geocoding based on latitude and longitude
- Image search with powerful filters
- Easy backup and export
