Open-source alternative to the Mimo app developed for DJI cameras
People who use DJI’s Osmo cameras generally have to use the company’s official DJI Mimo app to conveniently view and download their footage on a phone. Now, new open-source apps are beginning to let users manage their cameras without relying on DJI’s official software. One of the first examples is Osmosis, a free and open-source app developed by programmer Konrad Iturbe, who closely follows DJI products. Anthropic’s Claude artificial intelligence was also used to develop the app.
To make Osmosis work, the protocol that DJI cameras use to communicate with the official Osmo app was studied through reverse engineering. As a result, the app can connect wirelessly to the camera and manage captured photos and videos. Through the app, users can download files from the camera to their phones, see small previews of photos and videos, and watch videos at a lower quality. It is also possible to trim videos, add selected files to favorites, display only photos or videos, and add files to a download queue. Osmosis has currently been tested with models including the Osmo Pocket 3, Osmo Pocket 4P, Osmo Nano, Osmo Action 5 Pro, and Osmo Action 6.
