# SnapSafe (open-source photo and gallery app)

> SnapSafe is a free, open-source photo and gallery app for Android. Snap pics of anything, safely. It has 192 GitHub stars and is released under the MIT license, and you can install it from F-Droid and Google Play.

SnapSafe is a camera app that keeps every pixel—and every byte of data—exactly where it belongs: on YOUR device. Why SnapSafe? We capture photos locally, encrypt everything in private storage, let YOU decide if GPS tags are added, and strip out tell‑tale metadata automatically. Free and Open Source, forever. We NEVER phone home or talk to servers, slurp analytics or usage stats, sprinkle ads or trackers in the code, or read files outside our sandbox. Key Features: • Zero‑Leak Design – The manifest skips android.permission.INTERNET; nothing leaves your device. • Fully Encrypted – Shots are written to app‑private storage using strong encryption.
