I’m looking to switch from Google Photos to an alternative. Looked into Immich and Ente already, which have quite some reviews online. But have found little about Zeitkapsl. Anyone here have some experience?

    No, the actual AI runs locally, on the phone. What MLKit does is two things:

    1. Downloads the actual AI models from Google’s servers — not sure, but maybe they can be bundled or downloaded from other sources.

    2. Send the usage analytics about those models — again, don’t remember exactly what’s being sent but the actual prompts/source images/model responses shouldn’t be sent in normal operation.

    Why I highlighted the normal operation thing is because Google is kinda famous for collecting data it shouldn’t be collecting, e.g. read this README for example: https://github.com/PlqnK/magisk-supl-replacer
