Looking for an alternative to synology photos. I moved over to synology about 3 years ago and am now considering moving out of the synology ecosystem. I’m looking for something that has a decent android app, wifi syncing, shareable albums, all the standard stuff.

Edit: thanks for the many replies, I’ll likely move to nextcloud as I was planning on deploying that anyway as a synology drive replacement. I’ll look into immich as well.

Does Immich support deduplication of images? I have a large set of old scanned photos that I put on photoprism that has deduplication listed as one of its features. It puts photos in its own database.

Also, how is the face recognition of Immich when compared to others like photoprism?

if they have the same hash the deduplication thing will work. if they are different quality or other stuff no. thare are plans to implement something regarding more advanced deduplication but not anything implemented at the moment.

Looks like a polished app but sadly it has issues on my Fennec/Firefox for Android

You could try connecting the Android app with the demo portal.

I’ve tried everything. If you like a modern UI and simplicity, you want immich. The lead dev designs the app specifically so his wife is happy using it, and it shows.

Immich is still in relatively active development, but has a great feature set and is the only app that could reasonably replace Google Photos for me. Can recommend!

Moved to immich from Google photos recently, it’s an awesome replacement and the ml stuff works really well actually

Not bad at all, set it to sync the photos on my phone with the app and imported photos I had on a drive previously, I still need to get a download of all of my Google photos that aren’t on my phone though

I’m running Immich on an Odroid N2 and it’s great! https://immich.app/

Don’t judge the project based on that. It’s genuinely a quality application once you get it up and running.

The immich logo is undoubtedly ugly

The logo plus every screenshot on iOS uses that same font. There’s not much else to it. It’s simply an ugly font.

Jist moved from Photoprism to Immich. Glad i did. Mich better feature set, active development, and multi-user capability isn’t locked behind a paid subscription.

Immich seems to be really focused on pictures from phones. Which is probably useful for many, but not all people.
