A record of the main features, improvements, and fixes from the first Libria release to the present.

Library management improvements and fixes

Libria makes library updates easier to stop and rebuild, with safer folder changes and clearer guidance when original files are unavailable.

  • You can safely stop a full rescan or change update in progress.
  • You can keep registered folders and original photos while rebuilding search, AI, face-analysis data, thumbnails, and caches.
  • Folder registration, removal, and relocation now update library records safely when other work is active.
  • Libria now shows guidance when an external drive or NAS is disconnected and an original file is unavailable.
  • Fixed an issue that could prevent an original-file preview from appearing in photo details in some environments.
  • Fixed an issue that could show zero searchable photos even when on-device AI search was available.
  • Improved overall stability.

Local-network connection with Libria Connect

Libria can now connect securely over the same local network to Libria Connect, the companion app for iPhone.

  • Added secure pairing with a QR code.
  • Mac-to-iPhone communication is protected with TLS.
  • Browse the photo grid and previews, or use regular search, SmartSearch, and on-device AI search from iPhone.
  • Save a selected original photo to the iPhone photo library.
  • Made AI-search preparation and connection status easier to understand.
  • Improved stability and compatibility.

Libria Connect requires an active 14-day Trial or Full Unlock in Libria for Mac.

Initial release

Libria launched as a Mac photo library that organizes and searches the folders you already use without moving photos into a separate library.

  • Register photo folders with read-only access and create thumbnails and search data locally on your Mac.
  • Use regular search, filters for shooting details such as camera, lens, and focal length, and SmartSearch.
  • Search with on-device AI without uploading your photos to a cloud AI service.
  • View similar photos and add photos to Favorites.
  • Try Libria with a user-started 14-day Trial, then continue with a one-time Full Unlock with no monthly fee.
