Just ged rid if icloud and apple photos. slow as f*ck, crash all the time once the library get big enough on my mac. damn slow to scoll in the photos app with lot of picture.

I switched to https://immich.app/docs/features/command-line-interface and import all of my photo into it. 1.3TB and it's damn fast with all the face detection and ml features.

Is it possible to search immich images via spotlight like one can from iCloud photos? I’d love to jump ship away from iCloud but spotlight search is legitimately helpful and I use it many times a week. It’s saved my bacon quite a few times too (didn’t realize I had eg a document as a photo or pdf instead of email).

I have 60k photos using 1.2TB and Photos.app feels faster than Google Photos or Lightroom to me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
