Still requires hosting AFAICT. Would you know of a native Windows software alternative, perhaps? I could probably manage to host Photo Prism or Memories, but there's no way my parents would take the time to learn and set up a server, yet they have decades of pictures to sort through.
Sort of. It uses TensorFlow for object recognition and categorization. I personally wouldn't say it's very reliable. I'm not going to compare it to Google Photos, though, as I never fed my photo library to the latter.
No affiliation, just a happy consumer.
