PhotoPrism is a server-based application for browsing, organizing and sharing your personal photo collection.
It makes use of the latest technologies to automatically tag and find pictures without getting in your way.
Say goodbye to solutions that force you to upload your visual memories to the cloud or pay monthly fees.

All you need is a Web browser and [Docker ](https://store.docker.com/search?type=edition&offering=community )
to run the server. It is available for Mac, Linux and Windows.
2018-11-19 06:12:52 +01:00
Note that we just [started working ](https://github.com/photoprism/photoprism/wiki/Project-Status )
on the UI and features are neither complete nor stable.
2018-12-16 16:32:24 +01:00
We plan to ship the final app as a single binary including all dependencies.

## Why this has to be free software
2018-10-07 15:47:56 +02:00
2018-10-13 17:28:53 +02:00
The development of every commercial product is focused on monetization.
2018-12-14 02:51:42 +01:00
We've [built similar apps more than once ](https://github.com/photoprism/photoprism/wiki/Mediencenter ) and every single time the constraints of working
2018-10-13 17:28:53 +02:00
in a profit-oriented corporate environment were an impediment.
2018-12-16 15:13:52 +01:00
2018-12-16 14:04:54 +01:00
We are sure we can do better with only a fraction of the budget. Simplicity - the art of maximizing the amount of work not done - can be very powerful.
Go, the programming language we're using, is a [great example ](https://dave.cheney.net/2015/03/08/simplicity-and-collaboration ).
2018-10-07 15:47:56 +02:00
2018-12-16 21:38:14 +01:00
Our long-term goal is to become an open platform for machine learning [research ](https://dl.photoprism.org/slides/Personal%20Photo%20Management%20and%20Preservation.pdf ) based on real-world photo collections.
