Vast Search & Filtering

Finding the exact memory you want shouldn't take minutes of scrolling. LocalPhotos builds a lightning-fast offline index of every piece of metadata inside your files, giving you instant search capabilities without relying on a cloud server.

Search by Anything

• Face Tags: Search directly for people you've named.
• Geotags & Location: Search by city, state, or country name automatically reverse-geocoded from your GPS coordinates.
• Object Types: The on-device ML scanner identifies objects (like "Dog", "Car", "Beach") so you can search for concepts without ever tagging them.
• Text Recognition (OCR): Automatically extract and index text found inside your photos (like receipts, signs, or menus) so you can search for those exact words.
• Camera EXIF Data: Search by camera make and model (e.g., "iPhone 15 Pro", "Sony A7III").

Temporal Filtering

Use our advanced sidebar filters to instantly slice your library by specific Years, or drill down into specific Months. The timeline view reconstructs dynamically, allowing you to seamlessly cross-reference filters (e.g. "Show me photos of John in London taken in July 2023").
