I'm tired of the Google Photos app constantly nagging me about backing up my photos in their cloud. Enough! Hey Lemmings, what photo gallery app do you use these days?

I've been using Immich for both gallery and backup.
I’ve had major issues with docker upgrades. Just make sure you’re back up somewhere else too. They have fast paced development that breaks stuff occasionally.
Yeah you have to either never upgrade the app/server together or set aside time to read the entire update notes for changes you need to manually make.
I love immich so far but they really need to settle into non breaking changes sometime soon. Or at least add some sanity checks to updates to save users from themselves
This is an excellent choice
I'm using Fossify Gallery: https://f-droid.org/packages/org.fossify.gallery/
Neat! Thanks!
PhotoPrism. I'm not convinced it's the best, but it works for me and I've zero motivation to switch.
Which app do you use with it? This one? As far as I'm aware, PhotoPrism doesn't have an official Android app.
They do have an official app. I used to use the fork, but I changed my workflow and didn't need the patch anymore and went back to the upstream version of the server and client.
"AI Powered" :/
Exactly what I'm trying to avoid.
But I'll consider it if it's opt-in only and it doesn't nag me.
That's a fair bit of skepticism. In this case it's justified. It's used to auto-tag photos, either cats, dogs, people, buildings; or if you manually tag people in some photos it will go through and auto-tag your whole library. It's all done locally on the server, no calls out to external services, so it's private. And it works pretty well.
So, yeah. In this case, the ML is useful and justified.
I think it is just called Gallery from f-droid. Its got folder support and you can hide stuff you don't use. Its basic but has a decent editor and is not network connected.
Edit: its called Fossify Gallery. My bad y'all
This looks great, nothing fancy, no adds, just what I wanted. Thanks 🙏
You mean this one? https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.dot.gallery
It was the fossify gallery, I had it mixed up. My bad. In the app drawer, it just says gallery on it.
I use Aves Libre, pretty good and powerful, but it doesn't have its own photo editor, so if you need to crop something you need another app with it
Thanks! I'm giving it a try. I can live without editing capabilities.
I've also tried a bunch and liked this one the best, I wish it had a built in crop function but other than that it's great
If you don't care about cloud/backup stuff I recommend Aves. I've been using it for a few years now
Synology NAS hardware comes with a free surprisingly feature-rich clone of Google Photos that stores only to your local NAS (with options to further backup to various cloud providers).
I've been running GrapheneOS and haven't had such issues.
It doesn't use the proprietary Google Photos app
Isn't GrapheneOS only available on Pixel devices? I've been wanting to try it but I don't have a Pixel.
Yes grapheneOS only supports pixels at the moment, but LineageOS and other forks of AOSP are available for other phones and also tend to not include any google apps at all by default.
What is this? There is no description other than the title.
