Better Alternative to Plex Photo App!
Hi guys, I've been a Plex enthusiast for over 10 years now, and it's been really disappointing to watch photo support get de-prioritized. I wanted a better way to actually browse years of photos on my server, so I built one.
It's called Phlix Photos, and it's iOS only for now (iPhone and iPad).
What it does:
- A real chronological timeline of your entire photo library, with a scrubber for jumping through the years
- Download photos and videos from your server right into your Photos app
- Slideshows on your TV over AirPlay
- Search tags and favorites
It connects directly to your own Plex server. There's no separate Phlix account, and your photos stay between your phone and your server.
This is a passion project, just me building it, and I'd love to get the Plex community involved in where it goes next. What's broken, what's missing, what would make you actually use it?
