  • Timeline

    Scroll years of photos at full speed, grouped by day.

  • Albums and sharing

    Make albums, share them with family, or send a public link.

  • Search what is in them

    Local semantic search finds “beach at sunset” without sending your photos anywhere.

  • Standard metadata

    Tags and edits go into XMP sidecars, so other apps see them too.
