Explore Photo PC

Photo PC for Windows is a full desktop photo library. The Mac version is in development. Choose the folders it indexes, browse a local catalog, and organize photos from the computer. Your library can stay usable without signing in; accounts help connect devices, not store your photo and video files.

What you can do on the computer

1. 1
   Browse the library you choose

   Move through the timeline, albums, Collections and physical folders. The PC keeps the local catalog for the folders you add.

2. 2
   Organize without moving originals

   Use favorites, tags, Smart Albums, Archive and recoverable Trash. Review duplicates and related photos from the library tools.

3. 3
   Search and explore

   Use Similar and semantic search, People & pets, and the Places map. Places uses location already present in photo metadata.

4. 4
   Run optional AI on the PC

   Photo PC owns analysis. AI model packs are separate downloads, are not bundled with the installer, and run on the computer you choose.

5. 5
   Connect your iPhone when you want

   Pair by account or QR, then use the direct connection for selected transfer, original backup and remote library browsing.

Desktop app and Docker server

The Windows download is a desktop application with the photo-library interface described above. The Mac version is in development. The Linux Docker package is a separate headless server for Docker Engine and Compose v2; it does not include the desktop UI. It binds its service ports to the host by default and needs a trusted HTTPS endpoint before an iPhone can connect. Follow the network steps shipped inside that package rather than the Windows/Mac QR flow.
