Immich Alt Text Helper

A small Flask app that fetches recent Immich photos and helps generate high-quality Mastodon alt text via the OpenAI API.

Getting started

1. Create and populate a .env file (or reuse the existing api_keys file) with:

   IMMICH_API_URL=https://photos.4angle.com/
   IMMICH_API_KEY=your-immich-api-key
   OPENAI_API_KEY=your-openai-api-key
   

2. Install dependencies and run the development server:

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   flask --app app run --debug
   

3. Visit http://127.0.0.1:5000 to browse recent Immich photos, view cached alt text, and request new alt text guided by optional notes.

The app stores alt text in instance/alt_text_cache.db. Remove this file to clear the cache.
