Open source gallery app lets your photos stay untouched
Original: This open source gallery app does what Google Photos won't: leave your pictures alone
Android Police highlights an open source gallery app for Android that takes a hands-off approach to users' photos. Unlike Google Photos, which pushes cloud backups, AI editing suggestions and storage upgrades, the app simply displays pictures without nagging or processing them. The write-up positions it as a private, no-strings alternative for people frustrated with Google's increasingly managed photo experience.
Why now: Growing user frustration with Google Photos' cloud-first, ad-adjacent features is driving interest in simpler private alternatives.
Rank over time, top of the chart is #1. 10 snapshots from 13 h ago to 59 min ago.
