I have built something similar but only for photos - https://viroop.com. It is free for now. You have to run this command on the extracted app for MacOS to not show you the dreaded "App is damaged" dialog - `xattr -d com.apple.quarantine Viroop.app`.
My app is built with tauri too. It supports all kinds of images - - JPEG - PNG - TIFF - WEBP - BMP - ICO - GIF - AVIF - HEIC/HEIF and RAW images from various camera manufacturers.
The image reading and processing (for exporting images) is all done on the rust side. These are the crates i use
- image
- libheif-rs -> to read HEIF/HEIC images
- rawler -> to read JPEGs embedded inside RAW images
- libraw -> to convert RAW images to JPEGs and PNGs
- rexiv2 -> to read image exif data
I use the candle crate to download the CLIP model and generate index pairs for images. I store the faiss indexes in a file on the file system.
I am using the app personally for about a month and it feels amazing to use something you have built yourself.
I hope to add an image editor to the app in the future so that I have my own app management and editing software which is enough for my ametuer needs.
I have been making a photo management app for myself (https://viroop.com/) since i hate paying the monthly Adobe tax for Lightroom. I like Lightroom but for my needs, paying $10 per month is too much.
I have built the basic photo management functionality. I have also added conversational search using the CLIP model, which is working really well.
I hope to add a photo editor to the app because that's the part i love about Lightroom. It's a photo management app with a built in photo editor (which is really good).
