Show HN: Lap – Fast photo browsing for libraries (Rust and Tauri)
julyxx Tuesday, February 17, 2026
I’ve been a software engineer for 10+ years and a hobby photographer for even longer. Over time my family archive grew to 100k+ photos and videos, and browsing it smoothly on macOS became surprisingly hard.
So I started building Lap app.
The current focus (v0.1.6) is simple: fast local photo library browsing and management - Smooth scrolling through very large libraries - Works directly on your existing folders (no import/catalog) - Fully local
Planned next: deduplication, photo comparison tools, and RAW support.
