Android gallery · Google Photos alternative

See every photo and video your phone actually holds

Framefound scans your Android storage and surfaces the media Google Photos misses: unsynced, hidden and buried in folders.

Works from your device storage. No cloud account required.

Built around finding what is missing

Most galleries show what they have indexed. Framefound starts from what is actually in your storage.

Library

One grid for everything on the phone

Photos and videos from every folder sit together, newest first. Items Google Photos does not have carry an amber mark, and one filter shows only those.

Scan results

See where the missing media came from

After a scan, Framefound lists each source it found, such as WhatsApp, Telegram, Downloads and Screenshots, with how many items sit in each.

Folders and sources

You decide what belongs in your library

Every folder has its own switch. Keep the family chat photos, hide the thumbnail caches and document scans you never want in a gallery.

Your library should match your phone

The old way

  • Photos show up in your file manager but not in your gallery.
  • Videos from chats and downloads are skipped.
  • You are not sure what is backed up and what is only on the phone.
  • A cloud account is the price of seeing your own files.

With Framefound

  • Every photo in device storage appears in one library.
  • Videos from messaging apps and folders are listed beside photos.
  • A Not in Google Photos mark shows which items are missing.
  • It reads your storage directly. No cloud account required.

How a scan works

Four plain steps from a library with gaps to one that matches your storage.

  1. Allow access to your media

    Framefound asks Android for permission to read photos and videos on the device. Nothing is read before you agree.

  2. Run a scan

    It walks through storage: camera folders, downloads, screenshots and the folders messaging apps create.

  3. Review what it found

    Results are grouped by source, with the items Google Photos does not show marked in amber.

  4. Keep or hide folders

    Switch folders on or off. Your library updates to show only what you want to see.

Questions people ask first

Why does Google Photos not show some of my photos?

Google Photos shows what it has indexed or backed up. Media in other folders, downloads and some messaging app folders can be left out. Framefound reads device storage directly so those files appear.

Do I need a cloud account to use Framefound?

No. Framefound reads media from your device storage and does not require a cloud account to show it.

What does Framefound look at on my phone?

Photos and videos in device storage, after you allow media access on Android. Other file types are not part of the library.

Can I hide folders I do not want in my gallery?

Yes. Each folder has a switch, so you can include or hide it from the library.

Does it work with videos too?

Yes. Videos are listed beside photos, including ones from messaging apps and downloads that Google Photos can skip.

Every photo and video on your phone, found.
