Kader
A fast photo gallery for Linux and Windows. Browse by timeline, album, map or person, zoom in to single pixels, and find a moment by describing it. Kader even makes a short memory video from your photos every week. Your library stays on your computer.
Your memories, in one place.
See where you’ve been
Explore geotagged photos on a 3D globe or an OpenStreetMap map, and open any place to swipe through its photos.
Find it your way
Search by person, place, colour or month, or describe what’s in the photo. Faces and AI search run on your device.
Memories, made for you
Each week Kader picks photos from one day and turns them into a short video with a fade and a calm or upbeat soundtrack. Play it, save it or delete it. New ones replace the old after a week.
Every pixel, exactly
Zoom in up to 6400% and a pixel grid outlines each source pixel, perfectly aligned with the photo.
Your colours
Kader’s purple, twelve presets or your wallpaper through matugen. Nine Material 3 colour styles, in light and dark.
Inside Kader
Folders, turned into albums.
Kader builds albums from your folders, with custom covers and pinning. Make virtual albums from any photos without moving a single file.
A globe full of your photos.
Geotagged photos become pins on a globe, a regional map or a city street. Open a place card to flip through everything taken there.
Type what you remember.
One box finds people, places, colours, months and albums as you type. Download an on-device model to search by description, like “red car at night”.
Zoom in until you see the pixels.
Pinch, scroll or double-click to zoom up to 6400%. At pixel level a grid appears, aligned exactly with the photo, so you can check an edge or a single dot.
Make it yours.
Pick Kader’s purple, one of twelve presets, or take colours from your wallpaper. Nine Material 3 styles and a light or dark theme change every part of the app.
