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.

## 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](https://github.com/photoprism/photoprism/wiki/Mediencenter)
|
|
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 itself is a [great example](https://talks.golang.org/2015/simplicity-is-complicated.slide).
|
|
|
|
Our long-term goal is to become an open platform for machine
|
|
learning [research](https://github.com/photoprism/photoprism/wiki/Research) based on real-world photo collections.
|
|
|
|

[organizing meetups](https://github.com/photoprism/photoprism/wiki/Meetups),
|
|

|
## Public and corporate sponsorship ##
|
|
|
|
Our software is now almost done after two years of hard work, some days 16 to 20 hours on top of other projects we
|
|
did to finance this. We spent weeks asking organizations like [The Prototype Fund](https://prototypefund.de/en/)
|
|
for help and also tried to cooperate with companies like Mapbox and Cewe. We have been ignored and even given
|
|
the advice that what we do "already exists in America".
|
|
|
|
If any of those organizations changes their mind, they are welcome to [reach out to us](mailto:hello@photoprism.org).
