Check out our new release 🎉✨ (Patreon)

Our latest release includes a redesigned Places view, with the search box moved to the top and a preview for selected clusters at the bottom. We've also added support for Samsung/Google Motion Photos, so you can view them like Apple Live Photos after re-indexing your library. Beyond those highlights, you'll get many usability improvements, new search filters, and fixes for recently discovered issues. A big thank you to everyone who contributed!

Places View

When you click on a cluster, a preview now appears at the bottom so you can view the pictures as you continue exploring the map. In addition, the search box has been moved to the top, a scale shows the approximate distance on the map, and our members can switch to one of the additional map styles without having to open the settings first.

Album Sharing

The album preview images have been completely redesigned to resemble a stack of Polaroids, e.g. when you share a link via messenger or post it on social media.
