Does anyone know of an offline photo manager with object detection search? All I want is an app which I can point at a folder and then search for "cat" or whatever and have it show all the pictures with cats. Seems like all the photo apps I look at are either vastly over-engineered or lack this kind of visual search/tagging.
(Edit: I guess Ente is online)

I am surprised by the over-engineered comment. Object auto-detection is kind of an advanced feature and I would expect a lot of extra infra required for it. Immich hides it because they just publish docker containers for you but I imagine it would feel more complex if you were to look at the internals.
Unless Cloudinary is open-source (hadn't heard of it before, a quick browse of their site makes me think it isn't) then calling this a Free/Open Source project is somewhat questionable, since it leverages Cloudinary for a lot of what it does.
Immich is self hosted and open source
I am planning to use NextCloud for the sync, as I like its YEAR/MONTH/FILE structure, and configuring it as an external library in Immich. I could also use NextCloud Memories, but Immich UI is nicer, and its face/object recognition model is better.
Thought I heard the name before: https://www.photobox.co.uk/ Probably a good idea to change the name now... However, I'm always surprised people don't search for the name of their project before using it. Also, if common TLDs are already registered, I'd usually avoid using the name as well in case of future success and spoofing the domains.
Happy to see any open source project, but this seems very basic. No search function that I could tell.
my first past was mainly focused on initial organization and editing, including Creations (which i was most excited about)

as far as free, it's absolutely free to spin up. it does require registration (like any other service), but Cloudinary has a generous free tier. it was made pretty clear on the website and repository it relied on that service
just for transparency, i work at Cloudinary, but I stand by the above whether it was Cloudinary or another service

Do any of Photostructure, Photoprism, Ente, or Immich fit the bill? (Edit: I guess Ente is online)

My only gripe with Immich is it renames the files to UUIDs, and stores them in its own directory structure. This works ok if you are only backing up images from your phone as file names don't make sense anyway, but if you have existing backups it makes it harder to sync them.

but you say it can also use external libraries? so it does not copy those?
