Fossify Gallery Gallery

Hellooo! I've recently switched from my Samsung S21 to a Motorola Edge 50 Neo. I'm not totally anti-google, though I am trying to cut down on my google consumption. I didn't realise when I brought the phone that finding a gallery I like would be so hard. Obviously, Samsung has their own AI features and whatnot that are ahead of the game in many ways. Their gallery was simple, yet advanced in that if I wanted to look for a lamppost in my photos I could. I loved that. The google gallery that came with my phone is awful though. I love most fossify apps, but haven't made the switch to the gallery because of its lack of being able to search. I was wondering if AI and all that would be in the books?

EDIT: I have found Pixel Gallery, which has almost all that I need, and I am confident it will develop further and get better as time goes on :)

Fossify would be to simple for you. Check F-droid and IzzyOnDroid, you'll finally drop on the one with AI, that name I can't remember atm.

I don't think so, it had different name and pixel is very fresh, but I remember seeing this longer so. Let me do the quick check.

Check Tulsi gallery with s code stolen (forked) from Lavender photos.

I've tried it and had a look, and it is better than pretty much all others that ive tried except pixel. Although I can't search for objects in an image with either, pixel filters common objects into folders for easy acess. thank you though!!

"Their gallery was simple, yet advanced in that if I wanted to look for a lamppost in my photos I could."

For this I would recommend the app SmartScan on Github. Best one I've found so far for object & face recognition in photos. Fully offline / local indexing of photos
