It featured geotagging and made it pretty easy to get really nicely organized albums for trips.

However I don’t really want my stuff on their servers nor am I fond of the subscription for trips I get to take maybe once a year these days.

Currently I use syncthing and some gallery apps (immich, photoprism), but due to network conditions (CG/NAT) accessing these outside my local network can be annoying at times. Ideally I could sync&transfer photos and have them cached on the device instead, which is what Journey accomplished for me.

    I would look into options for solving your CG/NAT (DDNS…) problems, since it’s a first backup aswell. If your phone is stolen or lost, the captures from the last sync are already on your server.

      Try GIMP, I switched from PS with relative ease. I made graphic designs, though.

      Affinity photo has a free trial and a buy once keep forever alternative for indesign, illustrator and photoshop. Gimp is none of those.

        I like Photopea, although I feel bad… I should have clarified, I specifically meant mobile editing apps unfortunately! For the times when exposure is just a bit low.

        I have the whole adobe suite for PC editing, since unfortunately too many of my projects just rely heavily on them. No creative cloud for me, though!
