What is WebGallery?

WebGallery is a companion Android app for Tilde, a personal cloud server. It gives you a fast, native gallery experience for browsing, organizing, and uploading your photo library — all over a standard WebDAV connection.

Unlike Google Photos or iCloud, your photos stay on hardware you control. WebGallery is the mobile interface to that library.

Why WebGallery?

Private — Your photos never leave your server. No analytics, no tracking, no third-party services.
Offline-first — Thumbnails are synced for instant browsing. Full images are cached on demand. Edits queue locally and push when online.
Fast at scale — Designed for libraries with 100,000+ photos. ETag-based incremental sync means re-syncs complete in under a second.
Auto-upload — Watch folders on your phone (Camera, WhatsApp, etc.) and automatically back up new photos to your server.
Open source — GPLv3 licensed, zero proprietary dependencies, F-Droid compatible.
