Of families lack confidence that their photo backup is reliable
From opening the box to your first photo backup running
Photos leave your device for AI processing — metadata only
Setup in minutes
Not a NAS. Not a homelab project. Immich Photo Box is built for people who want their photos home — not a new hobby to maintain.
Connect power and ethernet. The device boots automatically and configures itself — no monitor, no keyboard, no terminal window.
Open the Immich app, scan the QR code on the device screen. Paired in seconds — no IP addresses, no router port forwarding.
Every photo you take is backed up silently in the background. Invite family members — their phones sync to the same device.
Type "2022 spring grandma's birthday" and find exactly those photos. AI runs on-device, processes only metadata — your originals never leave home.
No Docker. No SSL certificates. No manual updates.
Firmware and Immich app updates are delivered automatically over the air.
Honest comparison
We're not trying to be everything. We're purpose-built for one thing: your family photos, home, organized, and always yours.

Data ownership
We know asking you to trust a new brand with irreplaceable family memories is a big ask. Here's exactly how we protect them.
The box works completely offline. Your original photos are never transmitted to our servers — or anyone else's. No exceptions.
JPEG, RAW, video — every file is stored in its original format on the hardware you own. Plug in a drive and take everything with you anytime.
Powered by open-source Immich. If we ever close, you can run the software yourself — independently, forever. Your access never depends on our servers.
Common questions
A NAS is general-purpose storage — photos are one feature among many, and you configure everything yourself. Immich Photo Box is built around the photo experience: Immich pre-installed, mobile-first UX, zero-config remote access, managed updates. The goal isn't "store lots of things" — it's "photos just work."
We support importing from major photo services and local libraries through a built-in migration wizard — no batch uploading by hand. The exact list of supported sources will be confirmed before launch.
Your photos are stored in standard formats on the device you own. Export them any time. The software is based on open-source Immich — you can run it independently forever. You never need our servers to access what's on your hardware.
This isn't a NAS for homelab enthusiasts. Setup is: plug in, scan QR code, start backing up. What we're selling isn't a feature list — it's low cognitive overhead. If they can use a smartphone, they can use this.
Yes — multiple family members connect their phones and everything flows into one shared library. Shared albums let everyone contribute and browse together. Exact member limits and permission models will be confirmed at launch.
We're not claiming to be identical. We're aiming to be genuinely close — with natural language search like "2022 Christmas with kids" — while keeping full photo privacy. AI processing runs on-device, using only metadata. Your images are never uploaded anywhere.
