I have been unhappy with Google Photos for a while. Apple Photos was far better, but I don't want to move my stuff to iCloud. I started building an app for myself a year ago. PixdeX started as a GH Copilot-agent vibecode and now has full-text search, face recognition and a lot of other features. Indexed fully on my local Mac Studio and hosted on Cloudflare for remote access (no photo sharing with Cloudflare). Zero cost. Indexed ~70% of my wildlife/family photos in a few days. The quality has been pretty good so far. github.com/varunkumar/pixdex

Tried SigLIP2 and InsightFace models on my local albums to identify faces. It came up with these cute little fellas
When the forest came alive at dusk! 馃悈
The safari was almost over when we found a tigress and her two subadult cubs in a small rocky terrain. One cub was resting at a waterhole, while the other stayed hidden higher up in the bushes. A sudden growl changed everything, and the second cub came rushing down and disappeared into the bushes. Soon, the tigress appeared with the first cub following her, heading towards the other cub. She then stopped for a few minutes and gave us a beautiful glimpse of the family before they vanished into the forest.

Live rewind looks cool. #AppleWatch #AppleEvent Siri Recap can take live notes. Will be part of Siri AI later this year.
