Community tool: Immich Holiday Album Collector (GUI) — build holiday/birthday albums across years

[ldivl]

Hi all — I built a small desktop GUI that connects to an Immich instance and helps you generate/update albums for holidays (and custom dates like birthdays) across a year range. Goal was to be able to share these dates across the years to other users.

  Repo: https://github.com/ldivl/immich-holiday-album-collector
  Windows download (EXE bundle): https://github.com/ldivl/immich-holiday-album-collector/releases

What it does

• Pick one or more holidays, choose Start year → End year, and set a Delta days window (±N days around each date).
• Optionally run a Specific date once or repeat the same month/day across all years (handy for birthdays/anniversaries).
• Creates/fetches the target albums and adds matching assets automatically.

Advanced search (things I wanted that aren’t in the Immich UI)

• People filter with OR (any) / AND (all) matching (e.g., jack, jill for OR; jack jill for AND).
• Optional raw /search/metadata JSON filters for power users (example: {"isFavorite": true}).
• Includes a people picker: pulls your people list, lets you scroll + type-to-filter + multi-select.

Privacy / safety

• Uses an Immich API key; the app can store it in your OS keyring (optional). Local config is kept in app_config.json (gitignored).
