Original Summary

Long story short it&#x27;s a media library licensed under Apache2. It cares about your privacy. It doesn&#x27;t send any data and it doesn&#x27;t have telemetry. It is local only project. It&#x27; helps you to organize, view, search and do plenty of things with your photos and videos locally. If you are interested in it&#x27;s story you can read on OR visit <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;videre.sh" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;videre.sh</a> for installation instructions.<p>I have been collecting my photos and videos since 2000s. My collection grew exponentially when I bought iPhone 3GS back in 2010. I had roughly 1TB of backups in multiple iPhoto folders. It was nice at the beginning but than I realized that there are multiple copies of files in multiple backups. It&#x27;s not just one or two, they were like thousands because I copied them here and there time to time from drive to external drive and import from iCloud etc.<p>So There was a big chunk of unnecessary data sitting in my external drive. I tried iPhoto itself to resolve it but it wasn&#x27;t good enough. So I decided to write small app (dedupe) to eliminate them by myself. The story of videre started like that. There is a longer story in videre.sh&#x2F;blog if you would like to read.<p>videre is local &amp; privacy first CLI tool. You can do many things with it such as duplicate elimination, date&#x2F;time fix with EXIF&#x2F;mtime support, recognise&#x2F;cluster faces automatically, date grouping, event detection, map, advanced search via composable filters and lucene syntax, import&#x2F;export Google&#x2F;Apple&#x2F;Adobe, XMP support, tags&#x2F;keywords etc. Other media libraries have similar features but the difference of videre is CLI. Since it runs in terminal it&#x27;s very convenient to use it via AI Assistant. So you don&#x27;t even have to know all those commands and their usages. You may ask to you AI assistant: &quot;Find my photos with George in NY at last summer by using videre&quot; and that should be enough (of course you need to define who is George via videre gallery People section first).<p>I enjoy using it. It&#x27;s not because I built, it&#x27;s a strong tool and you can do many things. Especially it&#x27;s gallery command and web UI is strongly recommended. I bet all of you need such tool at some point so just give it a shot. Installation is very easy and then scan some files and see videre gallery UI&#x2F;UX. Hope you enjoy it.<p>Github: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;aegea-dev&#x2F;videre" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;aegea-dev&#x2F;videre</a> Docs: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;docs.videre.sh" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;docs.videre.sh</a>
