  • Darktable? It’s a RAW developer and photo managing software on Linux, Windows and Mac, a little bit like Adobe Lightroom, but OpenSource. If GPS coordinates are in the RAW, sidecar or jpg files, the photos can be displayed in the map module. Much better, if you have a GPX file and no GPS data embedded, you can assign the photos to the GPX route, as long the timestamp of DateTimeOriginal in Exif is accurate. If the timestamp differs, you can specify the difference.

    Maybe Digikam can do the same. But I don’t like the KDE framework which is used there. Digikam is available for Linux and Windows (yes, I know it’s strange).


  • If you can selfhost, you can try my SyncMarks AddOn. It will work on any webextension compatible browser, e.g Firefox, Chrome, Chromium, Edge, Brave, Kiwi and so on. You can sync across all Browsers.

    The backend is working with selfhosted PHP/MySQL (or SQLITE) stack. If you can’t use this, you can fallback to WebDAV as backend, but with limited functionality.

    The addon can work together with the standard sync mechanisms in all these browsers, but it’s up to you if you want that.

    If the addon is not installed, you can access the backend url with any browser and use it as WebApp. With apps like Tasker or HTTPShortcuts, you can share any url, from any to the backend.



  • This is for what I have created a Extension called “SyncMarks”. It’s available for Firefox from AMO. The same exist for all Chromium based browser, including Chromium, Chrome, Edge and a lot more. For Edge its available in the Microsoft Edge Store, all others can sideload the extension. The extension is cross-browser compatible, so that you can sync bookmarks between Firefox and Chromium. As a backend for best results, you can use the PHP based backend for selhosting or any WebDAV as a alternative (not all functions available). Installation of the backend is super easy. You can find everything at Codeberg.

    BTW. The PHP backend works as WebApp, so that you can access the bookmarks also, when the extension is not installed, from any browser.












  • Hmm sounds like a Webmail client, like Roundcube. Luckily (at least from my point of view) it has no ‘unified inbox’, but you can have as many mail accounts you want, with one login, from different vendors. You can selhost it easily. I use it on a Raspberry Pi with one login and have then access to gmail, yahoo and some other accounts.

    To mimic a ‘unified inbox’ you can forward all the different accounts, to one ‘major’ account, so that you receive every mail in this inbox. Than you can create a ‘sending alias’, to answer the incoming mails with the proper SMTP service. Nothing easier than that with Roundcube.
