About UhuruPhotos

UhuruPhotos is an Android photo and video gallery app. It displays a feed of photos and videos, shows details such as date, location, and people, and can share or delete several items at once. The homepage describes it as built with Jetpack Compose and an MVI architecture.

Several features depend on a separate LibrePhotos server. These include backup and synchronization of local images, the search engine with suggestions, the people view, the photo map, and automatic albums. The homepage marks these as advanced features. Local photo support is also listed, and the homepage describes basic photo editing. The app is in public beta on the Google Play Store, and the homepage links to a privacy policy. The homepage states that the project has no user tracking, data training, or advertising, but synced and server-based features send data to a LibrePhotos server that the user operates or chooses to use.
