Insights
Insights gives you a one-page summary of how, when, and where you shoot. Heatmap, top people, top locations, monthly breakdown, camera usage. Click anything to pivot into search.
What’s on the page
Heatmap
A 53-week × 7-day grid of your photo activity for the selected year. Each cell is a day; colour intensity scales with the photo count for that day. Hover for the exact count and date. Click a cell to open a search for that specific date.
The default year is the current calendar year; switch via the year selector at the top of the page.
Monthly bars
A bar chart of photo counts per month for the selected year. Hover for the exact count.
Top people
The 10 people who appear in the most photos this year (or this library if no year is filtered). Each row shows:
- Person’s avatar (their hero face),
- Name,
- Photo count.
Click any person to open their detail view — every photo they appear in, across years.
If you have more than 10 people, Show all expands the list.
Top locations
Country and city breakdowns:
- By country — every country your photos came from, with totals.
- By city — every city, with totals.
Click any location to search for it.
Camera usage
How often each camera (and lens, when present) appears in your library. Useful for “which lens did I actually use last year?” type questions.
Year filter
The year selector at the top controls every panel on the page. All years shows your entire library; specific years scope everything to that year.
The heatmap defaults to its own year (last year with significant photo activity) regardless of the page filter — heatmaps for empty years are pointless.
Pivot to search
Most clickable elements on the Insights page open a search:
- Heatmap cell → photos from that day
- Top-people row → that person’s detail
- Top-location row → photos from that place
This makes Insights the fastest navigation surface for “where was I in 2019” or “who did I shoot the most last summer” type questions.
