Ente Photos - Open source, end-to-end encrypted al

Ente Photos - Open source, end-to-end encrypted al is an open-source Android application for backing up and sharing photos and videos. It fits the Cloud Storage category by keeping personal media in online storage rather than only on the device. The app is designed for people who want a privacy-focused way to preserve and access their photo collections. Photos and videos are stored with end-to-end encryption, so the stored content is intended to remain accessible only to the user except where sharing is deliberately enabled.

The app supports backups in original quality, helping retain the source files rather than replacing them with reduced versions. Users can organize memories with albums, descriptions, favorites, hidden items, and tools for revisiting them. Albums can be shared through viewable links, and collaborative albums allow other people to add photos even when they do not use the app. An image editor, a dark theme, and an option to remove files from the device after they have been backed up support everyday photo management.

Ente also provides ways to share storage with family and to import photos from services or locations such as Google, Apple, and a hard drive. Its source material describes open-source applications across Android, iOS, web, and desktop, while this catalog entry is specifically for the Android build. As open-source software, its source code can be examined and developed under an open-source license. MirrorNest mirrors the official Android build directly on its own storage and scans it for malware before publishing.
