I’m currently using Fossify Gallery and I’m wondering if there’s any open source gallery with facial recognition, or OCR, or something more like the corporate apps.

        The server is the main purpose - it’s a replacement for Google Photos. The app is an extension of the server.

        But yes, the frustration is real. I have the infrastructure set up at home to handle this stuff; but for the layperson who doesn’t do this stuff, I can imagine it’s really irritating to come across Immich in the app store, download it, then suddenly get prompted to point it to a server that doesn’t exist.

      I’ve been using it for five minutes and it looks better than all the other ones.

    I am not aware on any on device ones that aren’t tied to a service (e.g. Ente does it on device because of E2E encryption meaning they can’t do it on the server) but I think you need an account or to self-host the service.

    There are options (other than ente) if you can self host, but (other than ente) the server will be doing the processing.

      SimpleMobileTools has been sold to a questionable Israeli publisher called ZipoApps two years ago.

      I’m advising anyone still using them to switch to the Fossify App Suite, which are the forks created as a reaction by some of the original developers.

      That’s basically what OP is using now. After Simple was sold to a questionable owner all their apps were forked as Fossify. They are better.
