Photok
Photok is an Android vault for keeping private photos and videos away from ordinary view. Imported media can be organized into albums and exported, while files are encrypted locally with AES-256 and decrypted only in memory during use. Cloud upload is not required. Users can unlock with a fingerprint, share directly into the vault, hide the app icon, and delete originals after import. Encrypted backups can be created and restored. Photok is open source under the Apache 2.0 License and is developed by Leon Latsch and public volunteers. Downloads are listed for Google Play, F-Droid, and other alternatives. The maker describes the core app as identical across Google Play and FOSS variants, but telemetry defaults differ: enabled by default in Google Play and disabled by default in FOSS. The FOSS plan costs nothing; Photok Pro is an optional Google Play add-on with no listed price.
