Google Photos vs LUMORA
Google Photos taught a generation that search could feel magical. It also taught that magic often requires uploading everything.
LUMORA keeps the search metaphor — type what you remember — while leaving originals on disk. No Google account. No cloud album as the source of truth. Optional CLIP, OCR, and faces run locally.
Choose Google Photos when you want frictionless phone backup into a hosted library. Choose LUMORA when the archive already lives on a desktop and must stay there.
