Photos Preview

Your phone does not need to hold every photo to show every photo. With ZimaClient connected to your ZimaOS device, the phone becomes a window into the whole photo library, and content from other cameras and older phones shows up right next to what this phone shot.

View Content from Other Devices

The photo library lives on your ZimaOS device, so everything stored there is browsable from the phone. Photos shot by other cameras or backed up by previous phones appear in the same app, without copying anything twice.

Preview Modes

The library supports three preview modes so you can browse the way you like.

  • Grid — uniform thumbnails, fastest to scan
  • Waterfall — masonry layout that preserves original aspect ratios
  • Justified — rows aligned to full width, like a printed contact sheet

iPad

ZimaClient works the same on iPad. The library loads from the Zima device over the network, so the tablet sees the same photos and files as the phone without holding a second copy.

Load from Another Phone

On a new phone, install ZimaClient and sign in with the same ZimaOS account. The existing backup loads from the device, and photos backed up by the previous phone appear in the library. Nothing moves by cable and nothing passes through a third-party cloud.
