Noodle Gallery is a self-hosted photo and video management app that puts you in full control of your memories.
Connect to your own server and enjoy a complete Google Photos-like experience without giving up your data.
Browse your entire library organized by date. Find photos by what's in them using AI-powered search — try "sunset at the beach" or "birthday cake." Face recognition automatically groups photos by person so you can find every photo someone appears in.
Share memories with family through collaborative Shared Spaces with shared timelines, role-based access, and activity feeds. See where your photos were taken on an interactive map. Rediscover photos from this day in past years with Memories.
Your photos back up automatically in the background as you take them. Create albums, share links, and collaborate with other users.
Noodle Gallery connects to a server you run yourself. No cloud subscriptions, no storage limits, no one scanning your photos. Your memories stay on your hardware. Supports S3-compatible storage including AWS S3, MinIO, Cloudflare R2, and Backblaze B2.
Free and open source, built on Immich. View the code and contribute at github.com/open-noodle/gallery.
Requires a self-hosted Noodle Gallery server. See opennoodle.de/install for setup instructions.
