Frequently Asked Questions
Everything You Need to Know Before Switching
Yes. Google Takeout ships photo timestamps, descriptions, and album memberships in
JSON sidecars. Importing with immich-go restores
those dates, GPS coordinates, and albums directly into your CarryPhotos timeline.
CarryPhotos connects via RS256 OpenID Connect to Zitadel at
https://dewid.carryos.com. Click
Sign in with carryOS on web or mobile, authenticate once, and your
account is auto-provisioned without maintaining a separate photo password.
Yes. The upstream immich-server, machine learning,
Postgres, and Valkey containers stay 100% stock while our Rust CLI
cpctl deterministically layers CarryPhotos branding
and mobile patches onto each new release.
Your originals sit as standard image and video files in predictable folders or
external libraries — no proprietary container lock-in. You can download albums or
copy the raw library disk anytime.
