Thanks for your answer, answers my question perfectly!

that is what I’m going to, besides interfaces from the 90s, what else is missing?

But I can find a centralised place to see all the pictures of my grandma

Here is the thing: I don’t trust cloud services to still exist in 40 years

Even open source ones, they are very complex and if the people maintaining it stop working on it, I’m doomed.

Is why I don’t want a server to run.

I have seen people using Adobe Lightroom to do sort of what I’m looking for. But too expensive.

As a DataHorder, by using those servers you are talking about, are you sure you will still have access to them in the future?

The problem I have with all the softwares listed on the link, is that they need to run on a server. I want it on my hard drive

My problem: what if there is a selfie of my sister at her marriage with my grandma. I want to easily find this picture by searching “My sister Marriage” and by searching “Grandma”

How would you go about doing that? or I’m asking for too much?

1. Scanning: Nextcloud built in scanner is really good (iOS app)
2. Organizing: I have been searching this for a long time
3. Accessing: NextCloud?
