A React Native app that lets you securely share selected photos while protecting the rest from nosy swipers.
PhotosReactNative is a React Native mobile application that lets users securely share selected photos while protecting the rest of their gallery. It solves the problem of 'nosy swipers' by allowing users to pick specific photos to display before handing their device to others, keeping unselected photos locked and inaccessible.
Mobile app developers looking to build privacy-focused photo sharing applications, particularly those working with React Native who need cross-platform iOS and Android solutions.
It provides a complete, open-source implementation of a privacy-focused photo sharing app with gesture password protection, ad integration, and analytics—saving developers time compared to building from scratch.
Look Lock - Show photos without worries in React Native (available both iOS and Android).
Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
The app is ready for both iOS and Android, with direct links to App Store and Play Store demos, demonstrating immediate production readiness from a single codebase.
Uses react-native-gesture-password for a custom lock screen, providing a privacy-centric authentication method that doesn't rely on device passcodes, as shown in the screenshots and plugin list.
Includes Google AdMob and Google Analytics via specific plugins, offering revenue generation and usage tracking out-of-the-box for developers looking to replicate these features.
Serves as a full-fledged example with multiple real-world integrations, ideal for learning React Native app structure, routing with react-native-router-flux, and state management.
Relies on React 15.3.1 and React Native 0.33.0 from 2016, making it incompatible with modern React Native versions and posing security risks due to lack of updates.
Depends on over a dozen third-party plugins, increasing maintenance burden and likelihood of breaking changes, especially as many plugins may no longer be supported.
Focuses only on basic photo selection and locking; lacks support for videos, cloud storage, or customizable privacy options, restricting its use for broader applications.
