Muse Life Graph
Free desktop app for Windows

Your photos and videos, sorted and made into films.

Muse Life Graph goes through your whole photo and video library on your own computer: it sets aside the copies, learns who is who and when things happened, and lays your life out as a timeline. Then ask in one sentence, and it makes a personal film from your own pictures.

Free and open source. Your photos stay on your computer.

What it does with your library

  • Reads everything in place: folders, phone backups, your Facebook or Instagram download. Nothing is moved.
  • Sets aside the copies by how they look, so a WhatsApp re-send counts as the same photo.
  • Learns who is who. You confirm a face once; it finds that person across the years.
  • Builds memories and a timeline: trips, birthdays, everyday days, each with a title.
  • Makes films on request: "my daughter growing up", "our trip to Italy", with music and narration.

Watch it make a film

A real archive, a real request, and the app at work, from the first look at the photos to the finished film.

How it works

Not a photo tagger: every step keeps its evidence, and the crew checks its own work.

  1. Add your photos

    Point it at a folder or your Facebook or Instagram download. Files are read where they are; copies are set aside by visual fingerprint.

  2. Muse understands them

    Who is there, what happened, and when, with the reason. A name goes on a face only when two independent signals agree.

  3. Ask for a film

    "A film of my daughter growing up." The crew researches, writes, asks you what only you know, edits, scores and narrates.

  4. It watches and re-cuts

    A critic watches the draft and leaves timed notes. The editor re-cuts, and a blind test picks the better version.

Run it on your own photos

Your family's photos never have to leave home. The app runs on your computer and reads your photos in place.

Download for Windows Source code

Unzip and open MuseLifeGraph.exe. The app isn't code-signed yet: if Windows warns you, choose More info, then Run anyway. macOS and Linux: run from source, see GitHub.

  • Windows 10 or 11. The first screen walks you through setup and tests each key before saving it.
  • A Meta Model API key from dev.meta.ai. About $0.006 a photo, paid to Meta directly; the app shows the estimate before it spends anything.
  • A free graph database (Neo4j AuraDB Free, a few minutes to create).
  • Optional: a Baseten key to run search and checks on Muse Spark Open, and an NVIDIA GPU for music and narration. Without a GPU, films get captions.
