Instead of paging through albums, Photofield lays a whole photo library out on one zoomable canvas, where thousands of thumbnails sharpen into full-resolution pictures as you zoom. Collections come straight from directories named in a configuration file. One setting turns every subfolder into its own collection. Pick a layout per collection: album grouped by date, timeline with month markers, wall, map, highlights with dates and place names, or flex. Sort oldest first, newest first, or shuffled hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly. Tiles load progressively, and an info drawer shows the date, file name, and dimensions. A right-click menu opens or copies an image, copies its link, or finds similar images. Originals are never modified, so a read-only mount is safe. Indexing runs at up to 10,000 files per second on a fast SSD with a warm cache. JPEG, PNG, AVIF, HEIC, DNG, GIF, MP4, and MOV files are recognized. Place names resolve from an embedded database, with no external lookups. The optional photofield-ai companion adds search by words like beach sunset or cat eyes, plus a Faces layout of detected faces. Alpha tagging lets you label photos.
