Mimick

Mimick is a high-performance Rust desktop client that mirrors local media to your Immich server in real-time. Designed as an interactive agent with a built-in Library View, modern dashboard, and system tray indicator, it provides transparent, user-led control over your backups and media browsing.

Mimick is a community-developed client and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Immich project.

• Library View: Browse and manage your Immich assets directly in the app with dedicated Photos, Explore, and Albums pages.
• Advanced Search: Find assets using EXIF metadata filters, timeline search, and OCR text matching.
• Bidirectional Sync: On-demand album synchronization to seamlessly download or upload differences between local folders and remote albums.
• Intelligent Monitoring: Uses native filesystem events with a polling fallback for sandboxed directories.
• Efficient Deduplication: Tracks local assets using SHA-1 checksums to prevent redundant uploads.
• Secure Storage: Leverages the native secret keyring standard for all configuration parameters.
• User-Centric UI: Provides a graphical dashboard and tray menu for manual sync, settings, and status monitoring.
