What is immich-swipe?
Immich Swipe is a lightweight web application for reviewing photos and videos in an Immich library using a swipe-based interface similar to dating apps. Users swipe right to keep assets or left to move them to trash, with keyboard shortcuts and touch gestures supported. It offers random or chronological review order, album filtering, favorite toggling, adding to albums via configurable hotkeys, undo functionality, and persistent reviewed-item caching. The app has no backend of its own — the browser calls the Immich API directly using an API key — and includes a built-in CORS proxy when run via Docker. It supports light and dark themes and can be installed as a Progressive Web App on mobile devices. Deployment is via a prebuilt Docker image (ghcr.io/dev-nick421/immich-swipe) or by building from source with a .env file. It requires Immich v1.116 or newer. The project is MIT-licensed and actively maintained.
