Memories
Fast, modern and advanced photo management suite. Free and open source Nextcloud app.
Memories is a self-hosted photo management application that runs on a Nextcloud instance, giving users full control over their photo storage and data. It addresses the privacy concerns associated with cloud-based photo services by keeping all photos on the user’s own server, with the option to encrypt data using a secret key. The app is free and open source.
Key features include a timeline view for navigating large photo libraries, album creation and sharing with other Nextcloud users or publicly, and automatic tagging through integration with the Recognize and Face Recognition apps. Users can edit EXIF metadata such as title, description, GPS location, date, and time, and apply changes to multiple photos at once. The app supports video transcoding with optional VA-API or NVENC hardware acceleration, and provides a map view that plots photos using GPS data with reverse geocoding. It is designed for performance on modest hardware like a Raspberry Pi and stores metadata in EXIF headers to avoid vendor lock-in.
Memories is intended for individuals or organizations already using Nextcloud who want a private, self-hosted photo management solution. It is available as a free and open source app, with no mention of paid plans, trials, or seat-based pricing.
