Immich
This is a client app for the self-hostable Immich Server (which can be found with the app's source repo). You will need to run/manage the server on your own in order to use the app. Once set up, this app can be used as photo and video backup solution directly from your mobile phone. Features: * Upload and view assets(videos/images). * Multi-user supported. * Quick navigation with drag scroll bar. * Auto Backup. * Support HEIC/HEIF Backup. * Extract and display EXIF info. * Real-time render from multi-device upload event. * Image Tagging/Classification based on ImageNet dataset * Object detection based on COCO SSD. * Search assets based on tags and exif data (lens, make, model, orientation) * Upload assets from your local computer/server using immich cli tools * Reverse geocoding from image exif data * Show asset's location information on map (OpenStreetMap). * Show curated places on the search page * Show curated objects on the search page
ScreenStream
The application allows viewing the device screen in your web browser. The main idea is to show your device screen during presentations and demos. No need of any additional software except for this app and a web browser. No annoying ads or pop-ups. It uses MJPEG to encode screen images and send them through the network. So it works with any desktop or mobile browser which supports MJPEG (Chrome, Safari, EDGE, Firefox). The application works via WiFi and/or 3G/LTE network. Fast and stable WiFi recommended because of high traffic and low network delay requirement. No Internet required, however, there must be a network connection between the client and the device. The number of client connections is unlimited, but be aware that each of them requires some CPU resources and bandwidth to send data. Application uses Android Cast feature and requires at least Android 5.0 to run. WARNING: This is not a real time streaming app. Expected delay is at least 0.5-1 second or more on slow devices, bad WiFi or on heavy CPU load by other apps. WARNING: This app is not designed for streaming video, especially HD video. Use Chromecast instead. WARNING: This app does NOT support SOUND streaming, because MJPEG does not support sound. WARNING: Some cell operators may block incoming connections to your device for security reasons, so, even if the device has an IP address from a cell operator, you may not be able to connect to the device on using this IP address. WARNING: Some WiFi networks (mostly public/guest) block connections between its clients for security reasons, so you may not be able to connect to the device via WiFi. For example, a laptop and a phone in this such a WiFi network will not be able to connect to each other.
