MM

MM is a local-first media library manager for photos, videos, and audio. It helps you scan existing folders, import new files safely, organize media with tags and albums, and browse everything from a web UI.

What you can do with MM

• Browse your local media collection in a web UI.
• Import photos and videos into predictable folders.
• Keep your original files untouched while indexing.
• Search and organize media with tags, albums, ratings, places, and dates.
• Start locally and move to a server-backed setup later if you need it.

Install

Install the recommended media tools first:

macOS:

brew install exiftool ffmpeg

Ubuntu / Debian:

sudo apt install libimage-exiftool-perl ffmpeg

Then install MM:

pipx install litemm

First run

Create a library for your media folder:

mm init ~/Photos

Start the web UI:

mm server

Open http://localhost:8000 in your browser.

Import new media

Copy new media into the library:

mm import ~/Downloads/Camera

If files changed inside the active library and MM should update its index:

mm db sync

Native iOS / macOS app

A SwiftUI client targeting iOS 17+ and macOS 14+ lives under ios/. It's a separate Swift codebase that talks to this server over HTTP and shares no code with the web frontend (by design — native UI). See ios/README.md for build instructions.
