Everything a library needs

Built around the way people actually look for a picture: roughly when it happened, who was there, or what was in the frame.

A timeline that scrolls decades

Photos group by the day they were taken, with a year rail down the side so a jump to 2013 is one click, not a minute of scrolling.

People & pets, found automatically

People, cats and dogs are recognised locally as photos arrive. Name someone once, keep pets in their own tab, then merge or correct a match at any time.

Search by what's in the picture

Describe the shot — "a dog on a beach" — and get results without a single tag or filename. Filenames, dates, albums and folders are searchable too.

Duplicates worth reviewing

Perceptual hashing finds re-saved, resized and re-sent copies of the same shot — not just identical files — and groups them so you choose what to keep.

Albums and real folders

Upload a folder and its structure comes across intact. Albums sit alongside, so curated sets and the original tree can both exist.

Private sharing

Keep every account separate by default, then share exactly the photos, albums, or folder trees you choose — read-only and only with people on your server.

No one else is in the loop

Every part of Imadeo runs on your machine — including the parts that recognise faces and understand what a photo shows.
