New in 1.3.0
Timeline filter, videos that play everywhere, faster search
Filter the timeline, play every video in your browser, and search faster. Every instance should update; multi-user instances right away, for security fixes.
- Filter the timelineUse the Filter button on the timeline to hide screenshots and documents, or show only videos or favorites. Save as default keeps your choice.
- Videos play in every browserVideos that did not play in your browser before now play, for example iPhone videos in Firefox.
- Fix a wrong categoryIf a photo is marked as a screenshot or document by mistake, fix it with the badge in the photo details.
- Faster search and scansSearch, scans and the app are faster and need less memory.
- For adminsRemove photo details from old thumbnailsThumbnails made before 1.3.0 still contain the location and camera details of the photo, and public links show them. One cleanup removes that data.
A look around
The current release with a sample library. The screenshots follow the theme you are reading in.
The timeline groups your library by the day it was taken and shows where you were. Scroll years in a flick with the scrubber on the right.

No company. No product key. Just people who want their photos back.
LibrePhotos is maintained by volunteers in their spare time. There is no venture money and nothing is held back for a paid tier. If it saves you a subscription, consider passing a little of that on. Sponsorship pays for the hardware the models are tested on and the hours that go into releases.
