About Lomorage
Lomorage backs up photos from iPhone and Android phones to a computer or NAS you keep at home, in original quality and without a cloud subscription. The server side installs on Windows, macOS, Ubuntu, Raspbian, Synology, Unraid and Docker, and there is an importer for existing photos.
Photos can be found with AI scene search, by person, place, date, on a map, or by words inside images such as receipts. The AI can run on the phone with optional syncing of results to your server. A Free Up Space feature helps clear the phone once photos are safely stored.
