Memories for Nextcloud
Advanced photo and video management app for Nextcloud

Memories is a fast, modern photo and video management application that runs as a Nextcloud app. It provides a responsive web interface to browse large libraries, organize albums, edit metadata, and stream videos efficiently while keeping files in your existing Nextcloud storage.
Key Features
- Timeline-based browsing using extracted EXIF date/time metadata
- Albums with collaborative organization and sharing (including external sharing)
- Bulk metadata editing (titles, descriptions, dates, GPS, tags)
- Map view using GPS EXIF data, including reverse geocoding for locations
- Video playback with on-demand transcoding and adaptive streaming (HLS)
- Archive workflow to hide selected items from the main timeline
- Integrations for automatic tagging and face/object grouping via Nextcloud AI-related apps
- Performance-oriented indexing designed for very large libraries
Use Cases
- Replace or enhance Nextcloud Photos with a faster, feature-rich gallery experience
- Organize and share family or team media libraries through Nextcloud accounts and public links
- Browse and stream mixed photo/video collections on mobile and desktop with efficient transcoding
Limitations and Considerations
- Some advanced features (for example AI tagging) depend on installing and configuring compatible Nextcloud apps
- Video transcoding can be resource-intensive and may require additional configuration for hardware acceleration
Memories is well-suited for users who already rely on Nextcloud and want a dedicated, high-performance media library experience. It emphasizes retaining your existing folder structure and storing key metadata in standard formats to reduce lock-in and ease migration.
