Media stays on the Mac, drive, or NAS unless you explicitly upload or share selected items from Wimemo.
Bring camera, drone, desktop, and NAS media into your trip memories.
Install a small local service on your Mac or NAS. Wimemo can discover the media you choose on the same local network, read its time and location metadata, and stream originals when you ask.
Mac setup should feel like pairing an accessory.
This installer places the connector in your home folder, creates a LaunchAgent, starts it automatically, and prints a pairing token for the Wimemo app.
curl -fsSL https://wimemo.com/downloads/local-connector/install-macos.sh | bash
Choose media folders
export WIMEMO_MEDIA_DIRS="$HOME/Pictures,/Volumes/TravelDrive/DJI"
curl -fsSL https://wimemo.com/downloads/local-connector/install-macos.sh | bash
The connector indexes selected folders only. It does not upload originals by itself.
Use read-only NAS mounts or dedicated folders so the connector can index and stream without modifying your library.
The local API requires a pairing token. The token is shown only on the connector host—never to another device that merely reaches it over the LAN.
Run it beside your media library.
For Synology, TrueNAS, Unraid, or a small Linux box, use Docker and mount the photo/video folders read-only.
curl -fsSLO https://wimemo.com/downloads/local-connector/docker-compose.yml
docker compose up -d
Show the pairing token on the NAS host
docker exec wimemo-local-connector \
wimemo-local-connector -data /data -print-token
Enter this token in Wimemo on the device you choose to pair. Remote requests to /pair cannot reveal it.
Automation can install it, but the user stays in control.
If OpenClaw is available on the user's Mac, it can read the install recipe, ask which folders to expose, show the exact command, and run the installer after confirmation.

The recipe requires explicit confirmation, read-only folder guidance, and no background upload of originals.
