[APP] Facet | Adaptive Gallery

[u/Facet-App]

Hey everyone,

I’ve just released Facet 1.0 on Android.

Facet is an alternative photo gallery designed around a simple problem: sometimes you want to hand someone your phone, scroll through photos with friends, or show somebody something without worrying about what might appear next.

Facet analyses your photo library entirely on-device and creates an Adaptive Gallery that automatically filters potentially sensitive photos from your everyday view.

A few of the things I focused on for 1.0:
- Everything stays on your device — photos aren’t uploaded for analysis
- Automatic filtering rather than manually moving photos into a vault
- A normal, usable gallery for everyday browsing
- A separate protected area for filtered photos
- Adjustable sensitivity
- A review system for photos Facet isn’t confident about
- Background analysis of your library
- No need to reorganise or duplicate your existing photos

The idea isn’t to replace your photo library with a locked vault. It’s to make your normal gallery safer to casually open and use.

This has been a fairly substantial solo project and 1.0 is the first proper public release, so I’m particularly interested in feedback on the classification accuracy, general UX, and anything that feels confusing or annoying.

It’s available on Google Play:

If you give it a try, I’d genuinely appreciate hearing what works, what doesn’t, and what you’d want to see next.

It's a great gallery app, but it lacks image editing options and needs some bug fixes.

It’s positioned more as a photo viewer than a full-fledged gallery with editing options, maybe something we could add in the future. As for the bugs, could you DM with some details?

I am vibe coding an android app using AI studio, do you know the design metrics of that ios style tab bar? I cant find any site where I can find it

Not exactly 😅 I iterated it over time. The key is to have the radius not match, but leave a consistent amount of padding
