Effortlessly keep your local media library in sync with your personal Immich server — with a focus on speed, reliability, and a premium user experience.\n\n![Lymic Screenshot](lymic_screen.png)\n\n---\n\n## ✨ Features\n\n- **🚀 High Performance**: Intelligent, metadata-based hash caching skips redundant processing for massive libraries.\n- **⚡ Real-time Watcher**: Instantly detects new or modified files in your watched folders and starts background synchronization.\n- **📦 Large File Support**: Optimized streaming uploads ensure that multi-gigabyte 4K videos are handled without high memory consumption.\n- **🎨 Premium UI**: Clean, modern interface with real-time progress reporting and full system tray integration.\n- **🔒 Secure**: Credentials are safely stored in your system's native keyring (Keychain, Credential Manager, or Secret Service).\n- **🔄 Smart Deduplication**: Leverages Immich's bulk-upload-check API to verify assets before transmitting data.\n- **📂 Folder Management**: Easily add or remove multiple watched folders from your local filesystem.\n\n---\n\n## 🛠️ Tech Stack\n\n| Layer | Technology |\n|---|---|\n| **Backend** | [Rust](https://www.rust-lang.org/) + [Tauri v2](https://tauri.app/) |\n| **Frontend** | [SvelteKit](https://kit.svelte.dev/) + [TypeScript](https://www.typescriptlang.org/) |\n| **Styling** | [Tailwind CSS v4](https://tailwindcss.com/) |\n| **Icons** | [Lucide](https://lucide.dev/) |\n| **Database** | [SQLite](https://sqlite.org/) via [SQLx](https://github.com/launchbadge/sqlx) |\n| **Networking** | [Reqwest](https://github.com/seanmonstar/reqwest) (HTTP / multipart streaming) |\n\n---\n\n## 🚀 Getting Started\n\n### Download\n\nThe easiest way to get started is to download the latest installer for your operating system from the [Releases](https://github.com/xXRoxXeRXx/immich-desktop-sync/releases) page.\n\n\u003e [!IMPORTANT]\n\u003e **macOS Users:** Since this is an open-source project without a paid Apple Developer certificate, macOS will block the app as \"unidentified\" or \"damaged\".\n\u003e\n\u003e **Option 1 (Recommended):**\n\u003e 1. Drag the app into your **Applications** folder.\n\u003e 2. **Right-click** (or Control-click) the app icon and select **Open**.\n\u003e 3. Click **Open** in the confirmation dialog.\n\u003e\n\u003e **Option 2 (If Option 1 fails):**\n\u003e If you still see the \"App is damaged\" message, run the following command in your terminal:\n\u003e ```bash\n\u003e xattr -cr /Applications/Lymic.app\n\u003e ```\n\n### Building from Source\n\n#### Prerequisites\n\n- [Rust](https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install) (latest stable)\n- [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/) (v18+)\n- OS-specific dependencies (see [Tauri prerequisites](https://tauri.app/start/prerequisites/))\n\n#### Steps\n\n1. **Clone the repository**\n   ```bash\n   git clone https://github.com/xXRoxXeRXx/lymic.git\n   cd lymic\n   ```\n\n2. **Install dependencies**\n   ```bash\n   npm install\n   ```\n\n3. **Run in development mode**\n   ```bash\n   npm run tauri dev\n   ```\n\n4. **Build for production**\n   ```bash\n   npm run tauri build\n   ```\n\n---\n\n## 🔑 Immich API Configuration\n\nTo use Lymic, generate an API Key in your Immich web interface under **Account Settings → API Keys**.\n\n### Required Permissions (Scopes)\n\n| Scope | Purpose |\n|---|---|\n| `asset.upload` | Transmit new media files to the server |\n| `asset.read` | Verify whether a file already exists before uploading |\n| `server_info.read` | Validate the connection and check server compatibility |\n\n\u003e [!TIP]\n\u003e Lymic adheres to the principle of least privilege. It currently **does not** require `asset.delete` or `album.write` permissions unless you are using specific experimental features.\n\n---\n\n## ⚙️ How it Works\n\n1. **Scan** — The app scans your watched folders for media files (`jpg`, `mp4`, `heic`, etc.).\n2. **Hash** — A SHA-1 hash is calculated for each file. Results are cached in a local SQLite database alongside file metadata (mtime/size) so unchanged files are never re-hashed.\n3. **Verify** — Before uploading, Lymic checks the Immich server in chunks of 500 to determine which assets already exist.\n4. **Stream** — Missing assets are streamed directly from disk to the API, keeping memory usage low even for large video files.\n\n---\n\n## 🤝 Contributing\n\nContributions are welcome!
