About this app

This is just a simple media scanner for users and developers who see empty blocks (placeholders) of deleted media files.

This app can scan the whole device (or selected paths) for media, when they don't show up in Gallery or social media apps..

You even can select more than 100k paths (unless your phone runs out of memory, and I wouldn't recommend it either)

So... there you go... use it...
and stay happy and enjoy the life. (Disclaimer: this statement does not apply to zombies)

Ratings and reviews

This is a pretty good app. I like that it has a start scan on app start option. I wish it also had a built in scheduler, like, scan every x seconds or minutes. I ended up using Tasker for that, but built in scheduler would be better. UPDATE: With the auto-update in the background I no longer need Tasker! Great update. Only minor issue is retry interval only goes up to 6 seconds, but could be longer. Still, 5 Stars!

Thank you so much for this. My UFS2.1 memory began to degrade, and after a hard cleaning, the Android media scanner broke, which is why Telegram and etc social apps did not see any media (just a "null" folder with all the photos and the date 1970). Your app has helped me a lot, thank you <33

Works better than other apps at removing stale entries from the media store that refer to files that no longer exist. Edit: I do have a rooted device, thanks for pointing me at NoStorageRestrict :)
