Warning

The Simple Mobile Tools suite of mobile apps have been bought by ZipoApps in December 2023, and now show some ads, while not being open source anymore. If you're looking for something similar to the original Simple Mobile Tools apps, you should take a look at the Fossify suite of apps (listed on AlternativeTo).

 Post comment/review
Comment summary: Simple Gallery, originally praised for its open-source nature and user-centric features, is now facing criticism following its acquisition by ZipoApps. Users appreciated its elegance, privacy, and customization, but recent comments express dissatisfaction over the introduction of ads and a costly pro version. Many recommend a forked version, FossifyGallery, to retain its FOSS spirit.

It may not have the full feature set of Google Photos, but gives you something priceless instead. Control of your data. You don't have to agree to some moronic ToS to use this application, nor do you need to connect to Google's servers.

It provides a simple and elegant solution. You can theme it to your liking, and exclude/hide folders as necessary.

The definitive Android gallery!

A once great open source app, but that was in the past. The developer chose greed and sold all their apps to ZippoApps, an ad/analytics company that has a longstanding history of destroying apps to maximixe their profit while harming the entire user experiance

Luckily a fork was made which i would reccomend https://github.com/FossifyOrg/Gallery

Was sold to zipoapps and contains ads. But there is a fork trying to keep the FOSS spirit alive - FossifyGallery, available through F-Droid.

Good app otherwise.

This app was sold to zipoapps, now with plenty of ads in free version and ridiculously expensive pro version. There's a fork trying to keep the FOSS spirit alive: FossifyGallery
