Best is self-hostable, FOSS, and offline usable.

I'm currently in the process of de-googling and generally removing my reliance on company-services for my digital stuff.

Currently using nextcloud for contacts, calendar, files and photos (via nextcloud memories). It's not super fancy, but it's easy to use, understand, setup and it doesn't require all too much out of your system, etc. My self-hosted nextcloud stuff (+ a few other VMs) all run on the same mini-PC in my living room.

Regarding the coming netxcloud memories app: I just sync the photos to my desktop and laptop via nextcloud desktop app. This is probably only possible because I do not own terabytes of pictures though. If you have a lot of photos and videos, I can understand how syncing would be a bad idea.

I didn't know photoprism, I'm going to take a look at that for the "curated albums" feature, thanks!
