How Pictaria reaches your Immich library. Values marked env come from the server environment until you override them here. Changes apply immediately — no restart.

Set up only the providers you plan to use. Feature-specific provider choices remain in Enrich, Curate, and Voice TTS.

NOTE: Enrich requires vision models with structured output and the Curate referee needs multi-image support.

How often the snapshot refreshes, and what counts as a trip on the timeline. Trip thresholds apply at the next refresh. Details in the Insights guide.

Controls enrichment, the image size sent to AI, and the shared live Curate policy. Manage inference prompts and taxonomies in Enrichment profiles. Choose the provider for new runs on the Enrich page; your selection is remembered. Provider connections and model names live under AI Providers. How the pieces fit — prompts, taxonomy, and the response schema — is explained in the enrichment guide.

Photos discarded from the Enrich stuck-photos list. Nothing was changed in Immich. Restore a photo and enrichment will try again.

How the review queue presents your photos. Changes apply on the next page load — decisions you already made are never affected.

Every device running Pictaria Frame this server has seen — the device names come from the Pictaria Frame setup screen. Deleting a device removes it from the Remote and erases its display history; if it comes back online later it simply registers again. Use it to clean up renamed, re-onboarded, or retired frames.

Group nearby cities into one synthetic location. Useful for handling neighborhoods or suburbs — e.g. a "Bay Area" that includes San Francisco, Burlingame and Oakland.

Once created, Insights shows the group (marked ⁕) instead of its member cities, and also lets you easily create Albums for the group.

NOTE: Groups only relabel in Pictaria — your photos in Immich are untouched, and deleting a group brings the original cities back.

Upload an openWakeWord TensorFlow Lite model for Pictaria Frame devices with the one-time Pictaria Connect in-app upgrade. Models stay on this server, download to a frame only when selected, and continue working offline after installation. Pictaria checks the model structure here and the Android runtime validates and smoke-tests it again before activation.

Configure how Pictaria Frame answers voice commands. Provider connections live under AI Providers; Voice Commands and the wake phrase are configured in Pictaria Frame. Changes apply immediately.

The exact instructions sent to the AI provider for “interesting” and “tell me…” voice commands. Leave a box empty to use the built-in prompt, or load it, edit what the answers should emphasize, and save. Answers from a custom prompt carry a “-custom” promptVersion so odd results are traceable. Clear a box and save to return to the built-in prompt.

How photo GPS becomes place names — the labels on the frame, voice answers like “where was this taken?”, and Insights' home-base name. Optional place naming sends coordinates to the Geoapify account you configure. Weather sends the frame’s city or US ZIP to Open-Meteo for geocoding, then requests the forecast with the resulting coordinates; no key is required.

Automatic snapshots of Pictaria's own data — your Curate decisions, tags and captions, album rules, location groups, and these settings. Your photos live in Immich and are not part of this. The destination folder is set by BACKUP_DIR in the server environment — point it at a NAS mount or synced folder for real safety. See the backup guide.

Pictaria Server has no telemetry, analytics, or Pictaria-operated cloud service. Features you enable can connect to your Immich server and the AI, TTS, weather, or geocoding providers you choose; see the privacy overview. If Pictaria has earned a place in your home, you can support its development with a one-time contribution at pictaria.ai/contribute — you'll receive a supporter key by email. Paste it here for a small badge and our sincere thanks. Supporting never gates any feature. The key is verified entirely on this server against a pinned public key; verification makes no network request to Pictaria.
