Lap is an open-source, local-first photo manager for browsing family albums, finding old photos quickly, and managing large personal media libraries offline.
It is a privacy-focused alternative to cloud photo services: no forced upload, local AI search, folder-first workflow, and free to use.

## Why Lap
- **Local-first by design**: your photos stay on your own disk, with no required cloud account or upload.
- **No library lock-in**: work directly with your existing folders instead of importing everything into a closed database.
- **Private AI tools**: search, similarity, smart tags, and face features run locally on your machine.
- **Built for large collections**: optimized for smooth browsing and organization across libraries with 100k+ files.
- **Open source and free**: no subscription, no forced ecosystem, and code you can inspect.
## Features
- **Flexible library browsing** by date, folder, location, camera, lens, tags, ratings, and faces, with random sorting and a small-image filter.
- **Interactive Map View** to explore geotagged photos and videos in clusters that follow your current filters.
- **Smart Albums** save rule-based views with custom grouping and sorting.
- **Collections and tags** to organize selected files in bulk without moving or duplicating the originals.
- **Local AI search** for text prompts, visual similarity, subjects, face clustering, and optional multilingual search in 50+ languages.
- **Apple Live Photos and Google Motion Photos** with motion playback and a unified Smart Album filter.
- **RAW + JPEG/HEIC pairs** displayed as one item, with linked files kept together during file operations.
- **Configurable RAW thumbnails and previews** using RAW rendering or the camera's embedded preview.
- **Folder-first workflow** with multiple libraries, drag-and-drop import, copy-paste import, filesystem sync, and safe move/copy/delete operations.
- **Date-organized import** with day, month, year, or single-folder layouts, original filenames, and duplicate skipping.
- **Culling and comparison tools** including a fExcerpt of 11,298 characters
