Hello everyone!
The day is here! Journiv’s Immich integration (watch full demo) is out. Now you can capture the story behind your photos and videos.
Highlights:
- Dual mode: Since the community was split (1, 2) on link vs copy, Journiv supports both mode.
- Link Mode: Journiv will store references to Immich assets and also add them in an album called Journiv in you immich profile so you can easily see all the assets used in your journal.
- Copy Mode: Journiv copies the original assets in it’s media storage so you always have them in Journiv as a copy.
- Linkbacks: If an assets in your journal entry came from Journiv then Journiv shows you an option to jump back to that asset in Immich with a single click (well if we are counting it is two clicks :))
- Immich Picker: Journiv has a integrated immich picker which allow you to browse all your immich assets within Journiv.
- Principle of least privilege: Journiv Immich integration has been designed with principle of least privilege and require a minimal set of permission on the API key to function.
- Many more features, bug fixes, enhancements.
- I also wrote a blogpost about this development.
- Yesterday was a big day for Journiv and me: Alex Tran u/altran1502, the founder of Immich became a Github sponsor of Journiv.

Agreed. This is legit so cool, but I just don’t have a use for it myself.
Immich is set up because I really like the image processing for things like seeing a timeline of my son’s pictures as he grows up. Pretty nifty addon to all that.
In between preparing for the snowpocalypse, I’ve been scratching my head, because this seems huge. Two very capable dev teams/softwares combined their wonder twin powers, and it looks so awesome.
