What it is
Lomorage backs up and manages phone photos and videos on a computer, NAS, or Raspberry Pi controlled by the user. It keeps original-size files and EXIF metadata, and supports Live Photos. Automatic backups can be limited to Wi-Fi, charging, nighttime, or selected folders. Image search covers scenes, people, places, and words within images, with AI processing available locally on the phone. After backup, Free Up Space can remove large local files, and duplicate or similar photos can be reviewed. Multiple isolated family accounts can be configured, with sharing for moments and groups. The service supports external hard drives and flash disks, and says it runs on a private network without collecting user privacy data. Remote access can be set up through a third-party reverse-proxy tunnel or router port mapping. The computer or NAS must be powered on and reachable for backups; iOS background backup is limited by Apple’s background-execution restrictions. Lomorage is free, though external storage is required.
