Private Gallery

Private Gallery is a privacy-first photo manager that scans, organizes and locks sensitive images and videos entirely on your device, giving you local control over media without cloud uploads or an account.

Key Features

Private Gallery performs on-device AI NSFW scanning to identify potentially explicit photos and videos automatically while keeping all processing local. The app offers an encrypted vault secured with AES-256, PIN and biometric unlock, and lets you move flagged files into folders or the vault with a single tap. Items stored in the vault are hidden from other apps and the system gallery.

Advantages

With Private Gallery, all AI inference and scans run locally so no images leave your phone. Strong encryption and biometric options help ensure locked files remain unreadable without credentials, and straightforward media management helps you review and relocate sensitive items quickly. A PRO option (auto-renewing $7.99/month) or referral credits unlock advanced features such as a full filesystem scan and additional vault capabilities.

Disadvantages

Certain advanced features, including Vault unlock, Encrypt & Hide and a complete filesystem scan, require a PRO subscription or referrals. The app does not provide cloud backup or cross-device sync by design, so vault content cannot be accessed from other devices. Some convenience features are part of the paid tier, which may not suit users seeking a fully free experience.
