Immich vs Double: at a glance
What is Immich?
Immich's 3.4 candidate brings passkeys to the phone app
Immich is in its v3.4 release-candidate cycle. rc.1 added passkey sign-in, built-in backups through FUTO Backups (restic-based), JPEG XL support and mobile tags, with a batch of security fixes; rc.2 was bug fixes only. rc.3 on 6 November extends passkeys to the mobile apps and improves the backup integration.
What is Double?
Double turns a recorded Chrome session into an agent that repeats the task.
Double is an accounting-practice platform built around the Ask Double assistant. Autoclose, an October 29 add-on at $500 a month, lets agents run the month-end close, and November 5 extended Ask Double to allocations, bank matching and 1099 prep. The November 12 release lets accountants record a task in the Double Chrome extension and turn it into an agent, adds bank feeds for US Xero clients, per-user caps on AI credits and new permission choices for agent actions.

Immich

Immich's 3.4 candidate brings passkeys to the phone app
◆ Current state
Immich is in its v3.4 release-candidate cycle. rc.1 added passkey sign-in, built-in backups through FUTO Backups (restic-based), JPEG XL support and mobile tags, with a batch of security fixes; rc.2 was bug fixes only. rc.3 on 6 November extends passkeys to the mobile apps and improves the backup integration.
◆ Where it's heading
Each Immich cycle runs three or four candidates in a few weeks, and 3.4 is adding the account and data-safety features a self-hosted photo library needs before households rely on it. Passkeys reaching mobile completes the sign-in change across clients.
◆ Prediction
A stable v3.4.0 is the likely next entry, with the draft release notes already published.
Double
8.8COLLAB
Double turns a recorded Chrome session into an agent that repeats the task.
◆ Current state
Double is an accounting-practice platform built around the Ask Double assistant. Autoclose, an October 29 add-on at $500 a month, lets agents run the month-end close, and November 5 extended Ask Double to allocations, bank matching and 1099 prep. The November 12 release lets accountants record a task in the Double Chrome extension and turn it into an agent, adds bank feeds for US Xero clients, per-user caps on AI credits and new permission choices for agent actions.
◆ Where it's heading
Double is moving from an assistant that answers to agents that do recurring work, and is now letting firms create those agents by showing rather than configuring. Usage caps, permission levels and a web-browsing switch that is off by default show it adding controls as agents get more reach.
◆ Prediction
Expect more agent templates and recorder support for other client systems, plus wider Xero coverage after the US bank feeds launch.
