To upload an album to a Nextcloud instance, you will need:

Yet an other gallery app

Old school paper albums are not just a collection of time ordered photos, they are visuals and texts organised to tell a story, make you remember a moment in the past.

The goal of this gallery app is to mimic a full photo album though image spacial organisation, text and hand drawings, giving you the tools to express and store your memories ("souvenirs" in french).

Well, at least trying to do it that way with my amateur android programming skills...

Album modes

Album are composed of several pages where you can include image or text blocs.

There are two possible album mode available :

• Tile mode : images and text blocs are organised in tiles fully covering the page. You can pan/zoom each images and handwritten annotations over them.


• Free mode : you can resize images and blocs however you want on your page, even overlaid them. This mode need more time to design your album and generally leaves blank area that are not optimized for small smartphone.

Permission explained : the application need the following permissions : "INTERNET", "GET_ACCOUNTS". These permissions are used exclusively to upload/download albums from the nextcloud server and using the nextcloud account on the device.

The following third party libraries are used by this app :

• The media loading library Glide


• The Nextcloud Single Sign On library


• The retrofit http client
