GhostFaceNet, on-device
A native Android gallery with an iPhone Photos-style experience: Years, Months and All views with a pinch-to-zoom grid, a viewer with live video scrubbing and frame saving, and Ultra HDR on screens that support it. It started from Google’s open-source AI Edge Gallery and became its own app.
Smart Search runs EmbeddingGemma fully on the device through LiteRT-LM: search in plain language, find similar photos, search with a picture, and find moments inside videos. Details search (place, date, people, text) works even without the model.
ML Kit reads the text in photos and detects faces, and GhostFaceNet (converted to TFLite) turns each face into a 512-number signature, so people are grouped, named and merged automatically. Clean Up finds duplicates, near-identical shots, blurry, dark or blank photos, old screenshots and large files.
The app has no Internet permission at all: no accounts, ads, analytics or cloud. It works and I use it every day. It isn’t on the Play Store yet.
