I've been meaning to sort through years of photos piling up on my hard drive, but every app I tried wanted me to upload everything to the cloud first. No thanks. Last weekend a friend mentioned Lapphotos, so I gave it a shot. It runs entirely on my machine, indexes my messy folders in minutes, and search actually works. I typed "beach 2019" and there was that trip I'd forgotten about. Offline browsing, no account, no syncing my private stuff to some server I don't control. It's nice when a tool just does the job and leaves you alone. If you've got a chaotic photo library like mine and care about privacy, take a look at lapphotos.com. I'm genuinely glad I did.
