Lap is a fast, local-first photo manager built for large personal photo libraries. Unlike many modern tools that rely on cloud services, Lap runs completely offline and keeps your photos private on your own machine. It focuses on fast indexing, smooth browsing, and simple folder-based organization. Built with Rust, SQLite, and Tauri, Lap aims to be a lightweight open-source alternative to traditional photo managers.

Hi everyone, I’m the developer of Lap 👋
I started building Lap because I couldn’t find a photo manager that felt fast and simple when dealing with large local photo libraries. Many modern tools are built around cloud workflows, but I personally prefer keeping everything on my own machine.
Lap is designed to be local-first and fast. It focuses on smooth browsing, quick indexing, and working directly with your existing folder structure instead of locking photos into a proprietary library.
The app is built with Rust, SQLite, and Tauri to keep it lightweight while still handling large collections efficiently.
This is still an early project and I’m actively improving it. I’d really love to hear your thoughts, feedback, and feature ideas!
Thanks for checking it out 🙏
