I’m currently using Fossify Gallery and I’m wondering if there’s any open source gallery with facial recognition, or OCR, or something more like the corporate apps.
This one has a beautiful UI and does face-based grouping of photos: https://github.com/IacobIonut01/Gallery
I’ve been using it for five minutes and it looks better than all the other ones.
I am not aware on any on device ones that aren’t tied to a service (e.g. Ente does it on device because of E2E encryption meaning they can’t do it on the server) but I think you need an account or to self-host the service.
There are options (other than ente) if you can self host, but (other than ente) the server will be doing the processing.
Immich, but it needs the server side running somewhere.

(edit: didn’t read the entire post like a fool. No facial recognition but still a solid gallery app)
Simple Mobile Tools apps were sold to a different company!
Fossify apps are the replacement.
That’s basically what OP is using now. After Simple was sold to a questionable owner all their apps were forked as Fossify. They are better.
