I am still holding onto my S22 for a while yet, but I am looking for something non-Samsung as my next device (probably Fairphone).

Whilst I think I can do without most of Samsung’s features, I do really like the gallery app and what it offers. Background OCR so I can search for text in an image, and manual as well as automatic tags. The built-in editor is also nice, but there are alternatives for that.
The main reason I like using manual tags and OCR is for quickly sharing memes I’ve saved over the years.

I have resigned myself to losing the tags I’ve already created, as it doesn’t seem those can be exported. But I have yet to find a gallery app in which I can slowly start rebuilding my set.

Here’s some of what I’ve come across:

• Google’s gallery is not an option for me. I want to move away from big tech.
• Aves supports tags, but is very laggy to use and has no automatic OCR/tags.
• PhotoPrism doesn’t support OCR.
• Ente doesn’t do OCR or manual tags.
• “Gallery” looks promising, but does not yet have the feature set I’m looking for.

Does anyone have any other suggestions?
