PhotoPrism is a server-based application for browsing, organizing and sharing your personal photo collection.
|
|
It makes use of the latest technologies to automatically tag and find pictures without getting in your way.
|
|
Say goodbye to solutions that force you to upload your visual memories to the cloud or pay monthly fees.

## Why this has to be free software
|
|
|
|
The development of every commercial product is focused on monetization.
|
|
We've [built similar apps more than once](https://github.com/photoprism/photoprism/wiki/Mediencenter) and every single time the constraints of working
|
|
in a profit-oriented corporate environment were an impediment.
|
|
We are sure we can do better with only a fraction of the budget. Simplicity can be very powerful.
|
|
Go, the programming language we're using, is a great example. It is heavily influenced by the ideas of Niklaus Wirth.
|
|
|
|
> Simple, elegant solutions are more effective, but they are harder to find than complex ones, and they require more time, which we too often believe to be unaffordable.
