Lightwell is a serious photo-service replacement: automatic uploads from the mobile apps, a fast timeline, face grouping and machine-learning search that runs entirely on your hardware.
Worth knowing before you commit:
- The ML features want real RAM; budget for it on small machines.
- Development moves fast — read release notes before upgrading.
- Import leaves your existing folder structure untouched.
The closest thing self-hosting has to the big-cloud photo experience.
