Look is a self-hosted photo library client for iPhone and iPad. It is designed to connect to a Look server that you control on a private network, such as a Tailscale Tailnet.
Look does not collect your personal data for the developer.
The app connects directly from your device to your configured Look server. Your photos, photo metadata, tags, albums, server URL, and optional API key stay on your device and your self-hosted server. They are not sent to a developer-operated cloud service by the app.
Look may store the following information locally on your device:
This information is used only to connect to and browse your configured Look server.
Look displays photos and metadata served by your self-hosted Look server. This can include filenames, dimensions, file types, EXIF metadata, tags, albums, and location metadata if your server provides it.
Look does not upload your photos or metadata to a developer-operated service.
If you choose to save a photo from Look to your device, iOS may ask for permission to add the image to your Photos library. Look uses that permission only to save photos you explicitly choose to save.
Look connects to the server URL you configure. The app is intended for private networks such as Tailscale. If you use a Tailscale MagicDNS name or private Tailnet IP address, traffic is routed through your private Tailnet according to your Tailscale configuration.
