About
Mimick is a native Linux desktop client for self-hosted Immich servers. It monitors your folders in the background and automatically syncs photos and videos to your server.
- Per-folder sync methods: upload only, download only, or full bidirectional sync with optional deletion mirroring.
- Built-in Library View for browsing your timeline, managing albums, and searching with Smart Search, OCR, and metadata filters.
- SHA-1 deduplication, parallel upload workers, and offline retry queue for reliable transfers.
- Environment-aware: automatically pauses on battery or metered connections. Configurable quiet hours and per-folder rules.
- Built in Rust with GTK4 and Libadwaita. System tray integration and Flatpak sandbox support.
Mimick is a community-developed client and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Immich project.
