An open-source, native Android gallery with end-to-end encrypted Proton Drive sync, a built-in photo editor, and granular privacy controls. No telemetry. No tracking. Just your photos.
Albums, timeline, search, favourites, hidden vault. Everything a stock gallery does, in a fully native Android shell. Built with Jetpack Compose for instant, native feel.
Sign in with your Proton account and the app starts backing up your library. Every byte is encrypted on your device — using the official protoncore library — before it ever leaves.
Control exactly what leaves your device. Remove GPS coordinates, camera model, and timestamps before any photo uploads. Sensitive photos live behind a biometric lock no one else can open.
Edit photos without leaving the app. Adjust exposure and colour, apply auto-enhance filters, censor sensitive areas with a brush tool, rotate and crop. Save locally or push the edit straight to Proton Drive.
Everything below is on by default. No upsells, no premium tier, no second app to install. A Proton account is required.
Built with Jetpack Compose and Material 3. Lightweight enough for older devices, native enough to feel instant on newer ones.
Proton Drive backup. Keys never leave your device. Powered by protoncore.
No analytics, no crash reporters, no third-party SDKs. Audit the manifest.
A second album, locked behind biometrics. Files stored encrypted on disk.
Strip GPS, camera model, timestamps, and software info before upload. Per-field granular control.
Create Proton Drive cloud albums, share them by email. Merged view of local and cloud albums side by side.
Adjust, filter, redact, rotate, crop — then save locally or upload the edit to Drive. Undo & reset any time.
Auto-delete local copies after backup on a schedule: immediately, 1 day, 1 week, or 1 month.
Photo widget with three display modes: all photos, selected set, or specific album. Refreshes on your schedule.
Proton Photos is built and maintained independently. It is not an official Proton product — but it speaks the Proton protocol natively, using protoncore_android as its foundation. Strictly functional — only what's needed for the gallery to work and to talk to Proton.
