Photocean is a photo library app for iPhone. It shows the photos on your Immich and MT Photos servers together with the photos on your iPhone. Photocean has no server of its own: photos move only between your device and your server (see the Privacy Policy).
To report a problem or suggest an idea, open an issue at kingcarn/photocean-feedback. The issue form asks for the version and build number — you’ll find both at the top of Settings in the app.
If something is wrong with syncing, backups, or how photos appear, please attach a diagnostic log as well. How to export one, and what to check before you upload it, is covered in the repository’s README.
Can’t Connect to Your Server
First, check that the server address is complete, including https:// or http:// and the port. The first time you connect to an address on your local network, iOS asks for Local Network permission — after you answer, tap Connect again. Addresses on the public internet must use HTTPS with a valid certificate.
Some Photos Are Missing
The first sync goes through your whole library, which takes a while for a large library; you can follow its progress in Settings › Sources. People, place names, and smart albums fill in once that background work finishes.
What Free Up Space Deletes
It deletes only the copy on this device, and only for photos whose original is confirmed to be on your server. Deletion goes through the iOS confirmation dialog, and the photos move to Recently Deleted, where you can recover them for 30 days.
Moving to a New iPhone
If you turned on iCloud Backup, the app offers to restore it when you install it on the new iPhone. It restores your settings, sources, and the way you’ve organized things; the photos themselves stay on your server. Source passwords aren’t in the backup, so you’ll sign in to each source again.
Subscriptions and Refunds
Purchases and subscriptions are handled by the App Store. To manage or cancel a subscription, open the Settings app, tap your name at the top, then tap Subscriptions. To request a refund, contact Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com.
Requirements
An iPhone with iOS 26.1 or later.
