Ente · Immich
What it's for
Two ways to keep your photos without handing them to Google or Apple.
Why it matters
Ente is a managed, end-to-end encrypted service, with on-device recognition and search: simple and safe. Immich is a Google Photos clone you host yourself (face and object search included), for those comfortable running a server.
For whom & when
Ente for everyone; Immich for self-hosters. Note: Immich is not end-to-end encrypted, its security depends on your server.
Install & use
- Ente: install the app, create an account, turn on automatic backup of your camera roll.
Immich: deploy it on your server (see section 10) via Docker, then connect the mobile app.
