PhotoPrism: Browse your life in pictures
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.

For the early birds
You're welcome to play with our demo at demo.photoprism.org. Leave your email to get a release notification.
Step-by-step installation instructions can be found in our User Guide. Developers can skip this and move on to the Developer Guide.
All you need is a Web browser and Docker to run the server. It is available for Mac, Linux and Windows. Note that we just started working on the UI and features are neither complete nor stable. We plan to ship the final app as a single binary including all dependencies.
If you have a question, don't hesitate to ask in our help forum or contact us via email.
Why this has to be free software
The development of every commercial product is focused on monetization. We've built similar apps more than once and every single time the constraints of working in a profit-oriented corporate environment were an impediment.
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.
Our long-term goal is to become an open platform for machine learning research based on real-world photo collections.
How to contribute
We welcome contributions of any kind. If you have a bug or an idea, read our guide before opening an issue. Issues labeled help wanted / easy can be good (first) contributions. Please join our developers mailing list to receive regular project updates and discuss development related topics. Don't be afraid to ask stupid questions.
Donations
We don't want to ask individuals for a donation at the moment. Please leave a star if you like this project, it provides enough motivation to keep going. Thank you very much! <3
Sponsorship
Developing open-source software is a community effort. Solid funding enables us to quickly implement features and integrate with services you care about. Grants and donations will be used for organizing meetups, running our servers, visiting conferences, buying test devices, offering perks for contributions, and covering our cost of living.
