Videre is a Rust CLI that turns a folder of photos and videos into a local, queryable media library using SQLite. It combines duplicate detection, semantic search, face recognition, and a local web gallery, all while keeping originals untouched and data private. The project stands out for its AI-friendly design, resumable long jobs, and thoughtful importers from Google Takeout, Apple Photos, and Lightroom.

Target audience: photographers, privacy-conscious users, developers, data engineers
