Overview

About Aubora

Aubora indexes photo libraries kept in pCloud, kDrive, Dropbox or local folders and enables natural-language search, face grouping and a location map. All processing happens on the Mac, and the index can sync encrypted through the user's own cloud.

What it does

Indexes photos on device so users can search by description, group faces and browse by location without uploading images to a large photo service.

Where it fits

A private search layer on top of an existing cloud drive, as an alternative to Google Photos or self-hosted photo servers.

Who it suits

Privacy-minded Mac users with large photo libraries who do not want to rely on big-tech photo clouds.
