A local photo manager with the features that actually matter — people, tags, albums, search, RAW and a fast grid — without the cloud machinery you never asked for.
What’s inside
This is pre-release software, built in public. The feature set below is what the beta is focused on: a fast, private library that feels familiar from the first minute.
01People
Live Gallery detects and groups faces locally, with no internet connection required. Tag someone once and the app finds them across the whole library. Face data stays on your hardware.
02Tags & albums
Tags, albums, star ratings and folders all work as first-class ways to organise. Keep a simple system or build a detailed one; either way, the library stays readable and yours.
03Search
Filter by date, tag, person, folder or album. Because the index is local, results appear immediately instead of waiting for a server to answer.
04Appearance
Built natively for Windows 11 with light and dark modes and Mica material support. The app picks up the visual tone of your desktop instead of imposing its own.
05Formats
A real library is never one format. Live Gallery reads RAW from major camera manufacturers, HEIC from modern phones and the older formats sitting at the back of your archive.
06Clean-up
Duplicate finding helps you see repeated files and clean up the library without losing the version you meant to keep. Exact duplicates are excluded from your image count.
Privacy, not a setting
Live Gallery is local software, not a service. There is no account, no sync layer and no server-side scan. The app makes no external connections during normal use; your library is read and indexed on your machine.
