Timich is a simple and elegant app for browsing your personal self-hosted Immich server from iPhone and iPad. Immich is a free and open-source photo management solution that runs on hardware you control. Timich connects to your own server, or to a paired Timich Agent, and gives you a smooth, responsive interface for exploring photos and videos without distraction. Use Timich at home with your local Immich server, or pair Timich Agent for a private connection path to your library. Timich Reach is an optional auto-renewable subscription that adds Remote Browsing through your paired Timich Agent when you are away from your home network. Timich Reach Family adds Family Sharing and supports Remote Browsing for up to five active app devices. Timich does not replace Immich and does not host your photo library. Your media stays on the Immich server and Timich Agent you run or control.
