MyGallery: Simple, With NAS

When you just want to look at your photos and videos, a simple gallery app is enough. I didn't want to be locked into cloud storage — and if I did use one, I wanted to choose it myself. That's why I built MyGallery.

MyGallery keeps that simplicity while organizing the photos and videos on your phone by folder, and lets you quickly edit them before you share — all in an ad-free gallery app.

■ Organize photos and videos by folder
See the folders on your phone — Camera, Screenshots, Downloads, and more — listed just as they are.
Switch between the "Folders" tab and the "All" tab, whichever view suits you: browsing folder by folder, or seeing everything at once.
Choose grid or list view for your folder list. In list view, thumbnails line up side by side, so you can check what's inside a folder — and open a photo — without opening the folder first.
Supports sort order, grouping, pinning, favorites, and hiding folders, so you can find what you need while keeping your usual folder structure.

■ Quick edits before you share
Crop, rotate, perspective correction, mosaic, blur, add text, add arrows and shapes, brush drawing, and beauty retouch.
Add notes to a screenshot, hide something you'd rather not show, or just make a photo clearer.
For documents or whiteboards shot at an angle, just mark the four corners and straighten them out as if shot head-on.

■ Revisit where you took your photos, on a map
Photos and videos with location data appear as pins on a map. Look back on trips and everyday moments, grouped by where they were taken.
Filter by date range, and tap a marker to open all the photos taken near that spot. Dark mode supported.

■ Use a NAS or your own cloud storage as extra photo space
Connect to a shared folder (SMB / Samba) on a NAS or a Windows PC, and browse the photos and videos on your local network right inside the app — the same way you browse the ones on your phone. Copy and move files between your phone and the share, too.
Photos and videos stored in Google Cloud Storage (GCS) or S3-compatible storage work the same way. Set a destination per folder — handy for backups too.
