Lavender Photos is a no non-sense, smooth, and performant gallery app for Android.
Features:
- Browse all your photos smoothly, seperated by date
- Add and remove albums as you wish, no arbitrary or forced selections
- Search for an image by its name or date (in many formats!)
- Trash Bin that's sorted by recently trashed
- Full fledged favouriting system
- A selection system that doesn't suck
- Edit and personalize any photo, any time, without an internet connection (even works in landscape mode!)
- Secure sensitive photos in a (soon to be) encrypted medium, for safe keeping
- Find all the relevant information for a photo from one button click
- Copy and Move photos to albums easily
- Clean UI and smooth UX
- WAY more to come
While you can download the APKs here directly, you should preferably use an F-Droid client so the app stays up-to-date on your device. Some clients have this repo enabled by default, e.g. Neo Store, Droid-ify, or, of course, the IzzyOnDroid client by Sunil. With others (like the official client) you'll have to add this repo manually (see the hint on top of the package list for how to do that).
