Photos

Make large photo libraries manageable.

  • Browse photos as thumbnail cards with search, sorting, and pagination.
  • Use categories and sub-categories, including a useful No Category workflow.
  • Open a larger viewer, move through the folder, start slideshows, and edit captions or dates.
  • Rotate and save photos when you want the file itself updated.
Videos and music

Strong playback options, even for tricky files.

  • Browse videos with thumbnails, search, sorting, and category filters.
  • MPV is used first for broad codec support and local playback strength.
  • Browse tracks by song, artist, album, or folder.
  • Create playlists and keep listening while moving through the app.
