I've stopped using Google Photos but haven't really found a suitable android app (or two separate ones) which can replace two main features:

  1. One-click post-processing - I think Google called it something like "auto awesome", basically a single button which slightly tweaked brightness, contrast, and presumably a few other things to make snaps look a bit better
  2. Automatic backup - I've tried proton drive but the app is a bit slow to load thumbnails, and critically it's a one-way copy so you have to manually re-delete everything from your phone

Any recommendations for apps which can replace these features? Doesn't have to be all-in-one, and FOSS is preferred!

Immich is the best option I believe.

i currently use immich, and it is phenomenal. immich is self-hosted, though, so you will need to host it somewhere.

i like it more than google photos because of its search features. ai/ml (local) learning of your photos so you can search for generic stuff and get pictures for it - it has been super helpful for sharing pictures with others, and i can generate single-use or limited-permission links to the photos just like a pro service. after importing a whole bunch of photos and letting the ai/ml run, make sure to name the people it pulls from your photos for easy searches for them : D

I'll add it to the list of things to self-host one day!
