[!IMPORTANT] Read our announcement about supporting Immich by buying a license here

Highlights

Welcome to version v1.109.0 of Immich. This release introduces an additional way for you to support Immich financially as well as bug fixes for various issues. Some of the highlights in this release include:

Immich licenses (and https://buy.immich.app)
"My Immich" url forwarder (https://my.immich.app)
Notable fix: Generate thumbnail for iOS18 HEIC

Immich licenses

With the announcement of Immich's licensing, you can now purchase a license to support Immich and open-source software.

In the web app, there is an information box that shows if you are a licensed or unlicensed user. You can click on the box to navigate to the purchase page or to enter the license key directly.

Unlicensed	Licensed

"My Immich" url forwarder (https://my.immich.app)

To help with future support, we are happy to introduce a "proxy" mechanism to help us navigate you to the exact location on your instance without knowing your instance URL.

The website prompts for your instance URL on the first visit and stores it client-side. It automatically redirects on subsequent visits, making it convenient to link to specific pages in self-hosted instances.

Below are some of the example use cases:

Linking directly to relevant pages from the documentation site.
Sharing the location of a particular setting in a support thread.
Automatically activate your instance after you buy a license.

Support Immich

If you find the project helpful, you can support Immich by purchasing a license at https://buy.immich.app.

Cheers! 🍻
