I had 27,000+ photos and videos scattered across a Linux PC, external SSD, and multiple USB sticks. Every existing solution either required cloud access, a subscription, or was too complex for non-technical family members.

So I built FotoApp — a free, open-source local photo & video organizer.

What it does

Scan folders recursively — finds all photos and videos (JPG, PNG, RAW, MP4, MKV, MOV...)

Detect duplicates by MD5 hash — shows groups, lets you mark which to keep
