If you consider developing a desktop client, I recommend also including linux compatibility. Some people will request it anyway and it may be easier if the compatibility is built in from the start. |

I'll second the OS app request. I love the web interface and phone apps, but someone in my family, who used Picasa pretty exclusively until it was canceled, has a hard time learning new software. Even if it was super basic with a similar layout mimicking Picasa, I think that would help them out a ton. As always, keep up the awesome work! |

Bulk upload can be done with Immich CLI. |

So far im mixing immich and nextcloud to keep both parts, (upload and so i will use the nextcloud app to keep it consistent) but as soon as immich windows client is enabled i will switch the way of working. |

Does it work on Mac as a backup tool as well or as a sync/export kinda tool? |

Why was this closed? I genuinely believe there's a strong need for a dedicated syncing client for Windows. People keep suggesting Immich CLI, and while it’s a useful tool, it’s not what many of us are asking for. What we really need is a reliable way to automatically sync specific folders—like the image folder on my desktop—directly to Immich. For example, I have apps that save game clips or screenshots from VR sessions with friends. I want those to automatically upload to Immich without manual intervention. This is something Google Drive handles seamlessly with Google Photos integration—why can't Immich offer a similar desktop client? A lightweight sync client that watches specific folders and pushes new content to Immich would be a game-changer for users looking to fully replace services like Google Photos. |

I've built a small desktop application for Windows that monitors folders and connected SD cards, and can automatically upload new files to the Immich cloud. P.S. It might be useful for this discussion since people here are looking for such a client. |

Works for me. IDK how reliable this is though, the software they sent doesn't seem to be open source... I can't find the code for it and there is no reference to a github project on the website. |

Fixed, the issue was caused by the light theme. P.S. I’m planning to eventually release the code publicly on GitHub, but I need to prepare the repository first. The app was originally developed for personal use, so some commit history might contain credentials or similar sensitive data. For now, my focus is on another project that’s easier to monetize rather than relying on donations. Regarding privacy, the only data I collect is basic info like a random installation ID and the app version—purely to gauge interest and decide whether further development is worth it. It also does not perform any actions beyond what is expected. Since the code isn’t publicly available, there’s no reason to take my word for it, but still. |
