Embeddings (and other derived metadata) will sync across all your devices e2ee. So you could use our desktop app[1] to import and index your existing library. Newer photos will get indexed during upload on respective clients.

Search is yet to be implemented on web and indexing is turned off by default on devices with < 4gb of RAM. You can opt-in from Settings > General > Advanced > Machine learning.

Why should people not turn to https://permanent.org, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that that claims to care about your photos even after you die?

  • I can’t see any evidence of encryption on their front page. I can see evidence of storing your data in multiple third party clouds (this is advertised as a feature, data redundancy).
