Sora Frame
An old tablet on the shelf can show family photos all day once Sora Frame feeds it. The slideshow runs in any browser with soft cross-fades, a large clock, date, and weather widget, and it keeps the screen awake, even on iPads and phones. Install it to the home screen like an app, then pick what plays: every photo or a single folder, nested folders included. The library takes photos by drag and drop or the Upload button, builds folder covers from their own pictures, moves photos with a drag, deletes a multi-selection in one go, and offers an optional Google Photos import. JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF, and iPhone HEIC files are accepted, and only a resized copy is stored. Notes slip a message like a visit reminder into the rotation, with up to four photos, a date range, an optional event countdown, and a choice of eight memory-book layouts. Each frame or family member gets a PIN limited to chosen folders, and a new frame pairs by scanning a QR code or opening an address that carries the PIN. The interface speaks English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Dutch, Hindi, Japanese, Chinese, and Arabic, and keyboard shortcuts cover play, next, fullscreen, and photo info. A living room shelf, a grandparent's tablet, or an office desk display makes a fine home for it. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPL-3.0 licensed.
Pictaria Server
Pictaria Server sits beside your Immich instance and makes a photo library of thirty thousand images legible again, surfacing the trips, people, and best shots buried under duplicate bursts and forgotten folders. It starts with Insights: a clickable timeline of your years, detected trips, a people constellation linked by who appears together, place and camera rankings, and records like your busiest day. Click any number and you land on the actual photos, ready to open in Immich, turn into an album, or send onward. Enrich puts an AI to work describing what it sees, writing captions, menu-driven tags, and quality scores for every photo using a local model through Ollama or LM Studio, or a cloud provider with your own key, on a scheduled daily budget. Those tags can sync back into Immich, so searching improves everywhere, not just here. Curate then collapses bursts and near-duplicates into stacks with a suggested keeper, and one keystroke keeps the best and skips the rest. Smart Albums compose rules from people, places, dates, cameras, and tags, preview the result count, and maintain real Immich albums on a schedule. Frame owners get remote control, display metrics, and voice photo questions, while the Activity feed and runtime-editable Settings keep the whole box manageable from the browser. It connects with a limited-permissions API key and cannot delete a single photo. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPL-3.0 licensed.
