Photok – Private Photo Vault, Hide Photos & Videos (Open Source)
Photok is a secure private photo vault that helps you hide photos and videos using strong AES-256 encryption. Protect your sensitive media, create an encrypted gallery, and keep your private memories safe on your own device.
All files are encrypted locally and only decrypted in memory while you use the app. No cloud upload is required.
Photok is open source, ad-free, and built with a privacy-first philosophy. The app uses minimal privacy-friendly analytics to improve stability and user experience.
Why Choose Photok? * Hide photos and videos securely * Private encrypted gallery with AES-256 protection * Offline vault — your files stay on your device * Open source and transparent security * Ad-free user experience * Built by an independent developer
Vault Features * Import photos & videos from your gallery * Organize private media into albums * Export files anytime * Create and restore encrypted backups * Unlock your vault with fingerprint authentication * Share media directly to the vault * Option to hide the app icon * Automatically delete original files after import
Privacy-Focused Design Photok is designed for people who want real control over their private photos and videos. Encryption happens on your device. Privacy-friendly usage analytics are limited to improving the app and are never used for advertising or cross-app tracking.

WhatsNew:
- Bugfixes and improvements
- Improved password strength algorithm
Hint: This app is available in both, F-Droid Main and IzzyOnDroid repos. For details on this, please see here.
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).
