What is Immich?
Immich's 3.4 candidate adds passkeys and built-in backups.
Immich is in its v3.4 release-candidate cycle. rc.1 added passkey sign-in, built-in backups using restic's parallel scan, JPEG XL decoding and encoding, mobile tags and workflow filters, plus security fixes around shared links, partner timelines, symlinks and OAuth cookies; rc.2 on 4 November contains bug fixes only. The v3.3 cycle before it brought people management, TensorRT-RTX acceleration and lighter ML models.
What is Tango?
Tango ships an MCP server, so AI assistants can answer from a team's captured workflows.
Tango captures browser workflows into step-by-step guides, and the Tango MCP, now live on Enterprise plans, lets teams query their Tango workspace from inside AI assistants. Before it, 2026 releases deepened the guide itself: voice narration during capture, branching, translations, video embeds, plus a September rebrand and edit-mode shortcuts.
Immich vs Tango: editorial side-by-side
Immich
5.0COLLAB
Immich's 3.4 candidate adds passkeys and built-in backups.
◆ Current state
Immich is in its v3.4 release-candidate cycle. rc.1 added passkey sign-in, built-in backups using restic's parallel scan, JPEG XL decoding and encoding, mobile tags and workflow filters, plus security fixes around shared links, partner timelines, symlinks and OAuth cookies; rc.2 on 4 November contains bug fixes only. The v3.3 cycle before it brought people management, TensorRT-RTX acceleration and lighter ML models.
◆ Where it's heading
Each minor now runs through three or four public candidates before release. The 3.x line moved from discovery features (search, faces, memories) toward running Immich safely as a household's primary photo store: sharing controls, authentication and backups.
◆ Prediction
v3.4.0 stable should follow after one or two more candidates. Restoring from the new backups inside Immich is the natural follow-up if it isn't already part of 3.4.
Tango
3.8COLLAB
Tango ships an MCP server, so AI assistants can answer from a team's captured workflows.
◆ Current state
Tango captures browser workflows into step-by-step guides, and the Tango MCP, now live on Enterprise plans, lets teams query their Tango workspace from inside AI assistants. Before it, 2026 releases deepened the guide itself: voice narration during capture, branching, translations, video embeds, plus a September rebrand and edit-mode shortcuts.
◆ Where it's heading
The MCP changes where Tango's content gets read: guides become a knowledge source for AI tools, not only pages people open. It is the first AI move in the feed since the April 2025 AI CRM Admin agent, and again gated to Enterprise, where governance and translations also landed.
◆ Prediction
The entry is short on scope, so it is unclear whether the MCP is read-only; a follow-up widening it to more plans or adding write actions such as creating guides would be the next signal.
