Private Photo Vault, Hide Photos & Videos.

Features & Capabilities

Photok is a privacy-first, open-source private photo vault that runs entirely on-device. It encrypts photos and videos with AES-256, keeps all files offline, and never uploads to the cloud, delivering an ad-free, transparent security experience.

Key features include importing media into an encrypted gallery, organizing into albums, exporting and restoring encrypted backups, fingerprint unlock, the option to hide the app icon, and automatic deletion of originals after import. It uses minimal privacy-friendly analytics to improve stability, with the GitHub project available for review.

The app works relatively fine. I like the album feature, the fact it's actually encrypted and easy to use. What I don't like: Videos don't autoplay and there is no option to make them loop. By far the biggest issue is the fact the backup feature doesn't even work. It just crashes the app when attempting to restore a backup causing some pretty bad data loss. I'm aware it's complex, but why even have it if it only works sometimes?
