RootMap

RootMap browses and organizes your photos and videos by location. It reads the GPS data your camera or phone embeds in each file and plots everything on an interactive map, so you can explore your library by where the photos were taken. It also groups the people in your photos with on-device face detection, and lets you tag and export.

Free to use. Closed-source. Local-first — your photos and face data never leave your computer. The map needs internet for map tiles and place search, and the photo viewer looks up place names online. RootMap sends LTC Labs anonymous diagnostics (an update check, crash reports, and usage counts you can turn off in Settings → Privacy). The privacy policy lists exactly what is sent.
