Work - Tools for Immich

A suite of independent tools for Immich, the self-hosted Google Photos

The immich-places interface: photo grid and geolocation map

Immich is an open-source, self-hosted alternative to Google Photos with a large community. Quub built a suite of independent tools that fill gaps in the app: grouping similar photos, geolocating those missing GPS, and pushing edited photos straight from Capture One, Darktable or Lightroom. From open-source tooling (immich-stack, immich-places) to a paid macOS product (Whimbrel), with the same engineering standard as a client engagement.
