Opensolr Photos

Opensolr Photos turns the photo folders on your phone into a search engine. Type "dog on the beach", "birthday cake" or "the receipt from the gas station" and the matching photos come up. Tap one and it opens full screen, or in your phone's own gallery. How it works Pick the folders you want. Every photo is read into words describing what it shows, the printed text in it is read, the camera data is kept (date, camera make and model, GPS turned into a city, region and country), and everything is written into a search index in your own Opensolr account, one index per phone. New photos are picked up on their own a minute after they land on the phone. What you get - Search by meaning: "puppy" also finds the photos read as "dog" - OCR: the words printed in a receipt, an invoice, a screenshot or a business card become searchable - People by their faces: name a face once and the app finds that person across your library, on the phone alone - Similar photos, from loosely alike to exact copies, with a slider, so the library does not grow on noise - Autocomplete and "Did you mean", built from your own photos - Filters: year, any two days, what the photo shows, your tags, person, city, country, camera, orientation, a distance around a point - A map of every photo with a position, grouped into thumbnail markers, with "Search this area" - Stats: your library in numbers, by year, month, day, hour, person, tag, thing, place and camera, every line one tap from its photos - Your own tags and words on any photo, or on a hundred at once. Your words always win over what the model saw, and are written into the photo files themselves - Automatic sync when your photos change, plus a daily, weekly or monthly safety net - Seven languages: English, German, French, Spanish, Romanian, Japanese, Chinese Your data The originals never leave the phone. A 1024 px copy of each new photo is sent once, with its EXIF, to be read; it is processed in memory and not stored. Faces are found and compared by your phone alone; the names and fingerprints go only to your own index. No photo backup, no Google account, no ads, no analytics. The index lives in your Opensolr account: you can see it, download it or empty it from the Opensolr control panel. The map uses OpenStreetMap tiles, requested only while the map is open. Requirements Android 8.0 or newer and an Opensolr account (free to create at https://opensolr.com/register). Battery settings On Xiaomi, Redmi, POCO, Huawei, OnePlus, Oppo and Vivo phones, set the app's battery to "No restrictions" so the sync can run in the background. Without it the sync only advances while the app is open. It resumes where it stopped, nothing is lost.
