Hi guys! Is there any smart gallery app that can help tag/search the gallery pictures through automatically created tags, such as objects/things recognized in the pictures, locations etc? This is a rather convenient feature in some apple and samsung phones, which I think would be nice to have…But I reckon must consume some CPU/battery. I’d still want it scanning the gallery from time to time, if it was a private local process.

    My understanding is that apple/google do that server side because its difficult to do on the phone.

    FOSS wise there are a few tools out there but they are self hosted (ex. Immich). Don’t know if any app-only version exists yet

      Apparently Tidy does it. It’s…a bit resource heavy, and if the picture library is big, it seems to be taking quite a while to chew through it…We’ll see if performance improves after the first scan.
