Stingle Photos is an open source gallery and camera app that comes with built-in cloud backup and sync, and strong encryption and focus on security and privacy as its most notable features.
These also differentiate Stingle and promise to make it a true alternative to the likes of Google and Amazon Photos. The Android app is already available in Play Store for free, including 1 GB of free cloud storage space, while those behind it say that Stingle will soon come to iOS as well.

The app encrypts photos and videos before uploading them to Stingle cloud, meaning that they are accessible only by the user with a private key.
The encryption model employed here relies on what’s known as “trust no one” (TNO) encryption that uses Libsodium, a library that Stingle says was created by leading cryptographers and is well-vetted, while the model itself has been developed together with ZCoin’s crypto team.
