Memories is a self-hosted photo and video management system designed for organizing, indexing, and sharing media libraries from a private server. It functions as an AI-powered media organizer that uses artificial intelligence for face recognition and object tagging to automatically categorize large collections.
The system distinguishes itself through deep metadata integration and specialized processing, featuring a geographic photo viewer that plots media on a map using GPS data and reverse geocoding. It also includes a self-hosted video transcoder that converts files into adaptive HLS streams using hardware acceleration for optimized web playback.
The platform covers broad capability areas including chronological timeline browsing and EXIF metadata editing for maintaining library accuracy. It provides tools for mobile media synchronization, batch selection, and secure external sharing for users without accounts.
The system supports the import of existing media collections and the migration of external metadata into image and video files.
