Keeps all photos local with no ads, tracking, or cloud uploads, as emphasized in the privacy controls and vault mode for sensitive content.
Offers geotagging with OpenStreetMap, virtual albums, EXIF metadata editing, and file operations, efficiently handling over 20,000 images across 1,000+ folders.
Runs on Android 4.0+ with a 1.5 MB memory footprint, making it suitable for older or low-end devices without resource-heavy dependencies.
Available on F-Droid with no costs, open for community contributions, translations, and transparent development as shown in the public repository.
The developer has declared the project 'dead' due to Android 10 breaking geotagging, meaning no future updates, bug fixes, or feature additions.
Geotagging is severely limited on Android 10 and above, as Google removed access to geo data from the media database, undermining a core functionality.
Lacks support for cloud backups or syncing, which may inconvenience users wanting seamless off-device storage or cross-device access.
