I would love to hear more. I badly want the same thing. I take on average ~10,000 pictures a year.

I do the poor mans version of this:

- Look at all my pictures in chronological order on apple photos.

- Open: http://maps.google.com/locationhistory

- Look at my journal for that day

From all that, I can kind of piece together where I was and what I was doing. I would love one app that does all of this seamlessly.

That's more or less what I'm building. I'm building it for myself with little concern for distribution, but you can find it here: https://github.com/nicbou/backups

The biggest challenge is to extract stuff from all those data silos. For geolocation, I'm using the excellent OwnTracks, and I plan to write my own receiver to replace the one in Nextcloud. I also extract geolocation from images.

One tool I use is this python script called Sort Photos. It will organize photos and videos into folders by date. It especially use full when you use multiple cameras.

I call it from a batch file that will pull in photos from SD cards. I have a few cameras, and my phone will let me backup photos/video to an SD card. This will organize everything into a folder structure by year/month/day.

python ./sortphotos.py "/Volumes/CANON_DC" "/volumes/Seagate_2019/Photos" -r --keep-duplicates --sort %Y/%b/%d-%b

I have a few lines of these in the batch file, one for each SD card name. So I don't even have to think about the paths. I just put in the SD card and run the batch file to import.

I realize the pandemic is temporary but I was amused at the thought of just how useless that feature would be for me at present.

That would be a really neat tool though - I hope it makes an appearance on HN once you get it working.

I had my own geotracker running pre-pandemic and it is very nice. When you run this long enough you get very nice heatmaps out of it. (Can't share mine for obvious privacy reasons) They are something very personal, almost worthy putting on the wall ;)

It's still cool to know when you last left the house!
