I'm building a self hosted photo gallery with lots of features minus having to share your photos with Google/Apple.

I'm a photographer and I find myself often wanting to show someone a photo but then spend minutes trying to browse all my 30,000 photos to find it. I'm not fond of Lightroom Cloud, Google Photos, Apple Photos, etc, so I built my own, Your Own Gallery (Own Your Gallery).

It can tag images for textual search ("cloudy mountains with trees"), identify dogs and humans, and supports lots of other ways of filtering/sorting/searching photos. All the processing is done on your own computer (which can be quite slow on older machines with lots of photos).

It currently has support for NearlyFreeSpeech hosting.

There's a web app you can deploy yourself or you can just deploy the backend and connect to it from the iOS app (coming soon).
