Foldergram
Turn your local folders into dynamic, private feeds
Foldergram turns the photo folders already on your computer or home server into a polished, self-hosted gallery. Drop images into local folders, and they become app folders with profile-like pages, a fast home feed, previews, thumbnails, and offline-friendly PWA browsing. No uploads, accounts, cloud sync, or social noise - just your media, organized by the filesystem you already use, served beautifully on localhost or your own network.

Hey Faziers 👋 I built Foldergram for myself as I organize photos in local folders, but wanted a nicer way to browse them. Foldergram scans a local gallery folder and turns each folder into a profile-style page, with a fast Instagram-inspired feed, thumbnails, previews, and reels with PWA support. It is a self-hosted, local-first, and intentionally simple open-source project. I’d love feedback from photographers, homelab folks, designers, and anyone with a giant folder full of images and videos they keep meaning to make easier to browse.
