MidShip ItCozy

E2EE albums and Rust backend are nice, but Immich dominates this crowded space.

Strengths
  • Rust backend uses TUS protocol for fast, resumable uploads across all clients.
  • Local CLIP and face detection models run entirely on your hardware.
  • Ships native Android app source alongside web client and server binaries.
Weaknesses
  • Only 14 commits suggests embryonic state versus mature alternatives like Immich.
  • Lacks clear advantage over established tools beyond encrypted albums feature set.

I built an open-source About A macOS style photo manager for Windows

Folder-native manifests plus a global SQLite index let you keep originals untouched while getting album features and very fast queries — smart trade-offs for large local libraries. Live Photo pairing/playback, a map view, and GPU-accelerated browsing show real engineering focus; it's not reinventing the genre (digiKam/Lightroom exist), but this is a tidy Photos-to-Windows port with thoughtful implementation details.
