ZimaOS 1.8 Adds Photos, a Private Self-Hosted Photo Library
Shanghai – October 16, 2026 -- ZimaOS 1.8 is available now and adds ZimaOS Photos, a self-hosted photo library that stores every picture on your own ZimaOS device instead of a subscription cloud service. Existing users get it by updating to the latest release.
Browse by year, month or day, or just describe the scene
The library replaces the generic thumbnail grid with a continuous stream of memories. Year, Month and Day views let you scroll at your own pace or jump back through years of photos.
Search works by description: type out a scene and Photos returns matching shots, which you can gather into albums. A Collection section resurfaces older images through interactive map views, Favorites and personalized Memory highlights.
