Self-hosted media archive · Local AI

Your photos and videos, searchable in plain language. On your own server.

Memoriva collects your team's photos and videos automatically from phones and computers, describes every image with AI that runs on your own hardware, and lets anyone find the right shot by typing what they are looking for. No cloud, no external AI services, no files leaving your building.

Self-hosted

Installs with Docker Compose on a server you own, even without internet access. Your media, database and AI models stay inside your infrastructure.

Search by meaning

Local AI writes a description of every image. Search in everyday language instead of relying on folder names, file names or manual tags.

Automatic capture

Android phones back up new photos the same day; Windows computers sync folders in the background. Nobody has to collect files by hand.

How it works

From a photo on a phone to an answer in seconds

Four steps, all running on your own server.

Capture

Android camera-roll backup and Windows desktop sync bring media in automatically. A local-only mode can index files on a device and upload just a small preview.

Understand

AI models running locally describe and tag each image. Cloud AI providers are optional and only used if you switch them on.

Find

Type what you remember: a place, an object, a defect, a scene. Results are ranked by how well they match, across all projects and years.

Keep

Older material moves to cheaper cold storage with verified offload and restore, so years of archive stay affordable and intact.

Who it's for

Built for organisations whose work is recorded in images

Construction & site documentation

Daily site photos from every site manager's phone, findable through the warranty period across all projects and offices.

Building surveys & evidence

Pre-construction surveys, damage assessments and court evidence: find the matching baseline photo years later, without leaving your premises.

Property management

Inspection and damage-report photos across thousands of units, ready when an owners' meeting asks about a job from two years ago.

Museums & archives

Make scanned collections browsable on day one. AI gives uncatalogued negatives and slides a first description, so curators can search them.

Photo & video studios

Honest status

Early access

Memoriva works end to end and is now onboarding its first pilot partners. These are on the roadmap, and pilot feedback decides what comes first:

  • iOS and macOS apps
  • Per-project / per-case albums
  • User roles and single sign-on (Keycloak / LDAP)
  • Tamper-evident audit trail for evidence use
  • Multi-tenant mode for hosting partners
  • Sharing selected sets with clients

Free pilot for early partners

I'm working with a small number of organisations to shape Memoriva around real workflows.

  • I help you install it on a machine of yours
  • You use it on real material for as long as you need
  • No licence fee, no contract, and your data stays with you
  • In return: honest feedback on what works and what's missing

About

Maksym Kolomiiets

Founder & developer

I built Memoriva because the organisations that depend most on photos, from building surveyors to archives, are often the ones that can't put them in a public cloud. Memoriva gives them modern AI search while keeping every file on their own hardware.
