The record

Product: Imadeo is a self-hosted photo and video library that organises media by date, people and pets, and image content.
Timeline: Photos are grouped by the day they were taken, with a year rail for jumping through the library.
Recognition: People, cats and dogs are recognised locally as photos arrive, and users can name, merge or correct matches.
Search: Users can search by describing what is in a photo, as well as by filename, date, album or folder.
Duplicates: Perceptual hashing groups visually matching photos, including resized or re-saved copies, for review.
Sharing: Accounts have separate libraries by default; users can share selected photos, albums or folders with others on the server.
Storage: Originals are stored as ordinary files in directories, so they can be copied or backed up without Imadeo.
Privacy: Media, search analysis, face recognition and pet recognition run on the chosen self-hosted server; the project says it does not receive users’ media through normal use.
Security: The privacy policy says self-hosting does not automatically encrypt data, Locked items are not encrypted, and operators should use HTTPS or a trusted VPN for untrusted networks.
Optional integrations: Server operators can configure reverse geocoding, Google or Apple sign-in, and SMTP email delivery.
Deployment: Imadeo runs with Docker Compose on a NAS, home server or Linux machine; the maker lists Synology, Unraid and TrueNAS among supported environments.
Mobile apps: The mobile app connects to the user's server and can back up a phone's camera roll; the repository describes support for iOS and Android.
Email limit: Email is optional, but invitations and address-change confirmations cannot be sent until a server operator configures email.
Intended users: Imadeo is intended for people who want a private photo and video library on hardware they control.
