Photos alternative with good recognition / search? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

Slowly but surely trying to de google my life, but Google Photos is a hard one. I have a kid and seven pets, and I've come to rely on Google Photo's search abilities to actually find anything I want to see in the hot mess of disorganized photos.

I tried a trial of Ente and filled it up to the free limit with pics. It was able to recognize my toddler in THREE photos, no one else. I don't know how many or which photos are backed up because it doesn't seem to show them separate from my un-backed up ones. It doesn't learn to recognize pets as far as I can tell.

I'm too tired to learn to self host just to use Immich, even though I've heard good things, ha.

That looks like a really interesting project, but the scope appears to be outside of what I was looking for. I think people here are looking for something more like Google Photos or Ente, something that operates more like a gallery app with extra features on top.
