Encrypted, offline photo & video vault with a comfortable gallery
About this app
Wolf Gallery is an offline gallery that keeps your photos and videos encrypted on the device.
Each file is stored as ciphertext in the app's private storage, so other apps and the system only ever see encrypted data. Files are decrypted on demand, including when you share to another app or set a wallpaper, so your media is never written out in the clear. You can use it as your main gallery or keep it next to the stock one as a private vault.
Development is active and ongoing.
Security
Every file is encrypted in an isolated vault inside the app's private storage. There is no internet permission and no accounts, cloud, telemetry or trackers, so the app simply cannot reach the network. Encryption uses authenticated AES-256-GCM, so any tampering is detected on decryption, and keys are derived from your passphrase with Argon2id, the memory-hard winner of the Password Hashing Competition. Your passphrase is never stored. The vault key is wrapped with an Argon2id key on top of the hardware-backed Android Keystore, so both the device and your password or PIN are needed to decrypt. The vault is symmetric-only, which makes it quantum-resistant by design, and a native crypto core zeroes key material in memory after use. Screenshots and Recents previews are blocked, wrong unlock attempts are slowed by exponential backoff, and an optional wipe after a set number of failures is available. A built-in self-test screen runs the crypto, file-format and migration checks right on your device.
Organize
Create groups and albums inside the app and rename anything, including with emoji. Sort, search and pin your groups, albums and files, set an album cover from any picture with adjustable framing, and import or export on your own terms. You can share to other apps or set a wallpaper directly from the vault.
Appearance
Choose from several themes, including pure-black dark modes, paired with a custom accent color. Adjust the grid density, switch thumbnails and albums between rounded and square corners, and place the action bar at the top or the bottom to suit your grip.
Other
A built-in trash keeps deletions undoable, a first-run wizard makes setup effortless, and the app is available in several languages with more translations on the way.
Support development
Wolf Gallery is free and open-source, with no ads, accounts or trackers. If it helps you, donations are welcome in privacy-first coins, no KYC.

- Import fixes. Videos reported as an unknown type by some file managers, including many MP4 files, now import correctly. Imports also keep running when you switch screens, open the search bar, or briefly leave the app, and opening search no longer cancels an import already in progress.

Installation Guide
Open Settings on your Android device
Go to Security → Unknown sources (or Install unknown apps)
Enable "Allow from this source" for your browser or file manager
Open the downloaded APK file from your Downloads folder
Tap "Install" and wait for installation to complete
Launch the app from your home screen
Make sure to re-enable Unknown Sources restrictions after installation for security.
How to install this safely
How to verify the file you downloaded
Before you install anything, confirm the file is the one described here. On a computer, run shasum -a 256 your-download.apk (macOS or Linux) or certutil -hashfile your-download.apk SHA256 (Windows), then compare the output character-for-character with the SHA-256 on this page. If a single character differs, the file is not the build we recorded — delete it.
What the signing certificate proves
Every Android app is signed with a private key that only its developer holds. The fingerprint on this page is a hash of the matching public certificate, and it proves continuity rather than identity: it tells you a build came from whoever signed the earlier ones. Android enforces this at install time — if a package claiming to be dev.encgallery is signed with a different key, the system will refuse to install it over your existing copy. A fingerprint that changes between releases is worth pausing on, because a repackaged app that has been modified by someone else cannot keep the original signature.
How to roll back to an earlier version
If the current release misbehaves, 1.3.5 is the last build before it. Android will not install an older version code over a newer one, so you must uninstall Wolf Gallery first — which clears its local data unless you have a backup. Reinstall the older APK only if its signing fingerprint matches the build you already trust, and check the API range: an older release may target an Android version your device has moved past.
Why we list sources instead of hosting everything
The official store channel is almost always the right choice: it updates automatically and carries the publisher's own distribution guarantees. A direct APK is useful when a device has no store access, when a rollout has not reached your region, or when you need a specific version — and only when the publisher has authorized that copy. APKBrowse does not list pirated, cracked, or unauthorized rebuilds of Wolf Gallery, and a listing is removed when the evidence for it stops holding up.

Permissions Required
What each permission lets Wolf Gallery do. A highlighted one is worth a second look — not necessarily wrong, just worth asking whether this app needs it.
Previous Versions
The signing certificate fingerprint for this release is on record, so a build that does not match it did not come from this publisher.
