A library the server cannot inspect

Photos

Back up and organize photographs without making a server-side face index part of the bargain.

For families and photographers who want dependable backup without converting their camera roll into behavioral data.

Current availability

Metadata, album, quota, and storage services exist. End-to-end upload, restore, and key recovery do not yet.

Incubating

Why use it

A smaller path from intent to outcome.

  1. 01

    Encrypt before upload

    The intended client protects media before it reaches storage.

  2. 02

    Organize without profiling

    Albums do not require server-side face recognition.

  3. 03

    Plan for loss

    Recovery is treated as a product feature, not left to a warning dialog.

Development record

What is real now—and what still has to be earned.

The badge names this product’s place in the portfolio, not public availability. This record separates working parts from missing product proof.

In the code today

  • Photo metadata, album, quota, and storage service code
  • Client-encryption-oriented API contracts
  • Gateway metadata routes

Before broader release

  • A real upload, restore, and key-recovery client
  • Cross-device and loss-recovery tests before any privacy claim goes public
