PhotoLib
A personal photo pipeline that pulls photos off iCloud, frees up iCloud storage, and serves them back through a private, VPN-gated viewer.
StorageiCloud integrationVPN/securityFull-stack
PhotoLib downloads photos and videos from iCloud on a schedule, stores them locally, and deletes the iCloud copies once they're safely archived — solving the iCloud storage problem without giving up access to the library. A front end lets the household browse, favorite, and filter by account or year, and access is restricted to specific people over a private VPN rather than exposed publicly.
Role
Solo build: sync pipeline, storage, front end, and network access control — orchestrated end-to-end with Claude.
Outcomes
- Manages 2,600+ photos and nearly 400 videos with per-account and per-year filtering.
- Access is scoped to named users over a private VPN rather than a public login.
