Look is a private photo library app for people who run their own photo server. Connect your iPhone or iPad to a Look server over Tailscale, then browse, search, organize, and inspect your photo archive without moving your library into a public cloud service. Look is built for self-hosted libraries: • Browse a fast, full-screen photo grid • Search by filename, tag, camera metadata, and path • View albums and smart collections from your server • Open photo details with EXIF, dimensions, file type, tags, and location metadata • Long-press photos to enter multi-select • Save selected photos back to your device when you choose • Connect with a Tailscale MagicDNS name or private Tailscale IP address • Use an optional API key when your server requires one Look does not provide cloud photo hosting. You need a running Look server that your device can reach over Tailscale or another trusted private network.
