About Ente
Ente is an open-source, end-to-end encrypted cloud platform for storing photos and other personal data. This GitHub repository contains the source code for its client apps and server. It includes three apps built on the platform: Ente Photos, Ente Auth, and Ente Locker.
With Ente Photos, you can store, search, and share photos across devices, with support for albums, background uploads, and import and export. Ente Auth stores two-factor authentication codes, and Ente Locker stores documents, credentials, and notes with private sharing. You can use the hosted service at ente.com or clone the repository to self-host.
It suits people who want encrypted storage without trusting the provider, and who use Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, Windows, or the web. Developers and contributors can also review the code, documentation, and security policy in the repository.
