On Windows 11, it may be time to ditch the default Photos app in favor of Lap, a private, local-first photo manager built for speed and control.
If your photo library lives on your computer instead of the cloud, most modern apps don't feel built for that experience. That's where Lap comes in. It's a free and open-source desktop app available for Windows 11 (and 10), macOS, and Linux, designed around the simple principle that your photos stay on your device and that everything from browsing to search happens locally.
