Focus Go - your gallery

About this app

Focus Go is the gallery I always wanted to have, so I built it. I don't like bloated galleries with 23093485 features, so I only built the ones I need/think are needed.
Galleries are a big canvas to showcase your pictures/cat gifs/videos on a chronological order, from new to old, nothing else.
You click the picture, it loads up in a fancy animation, and voilá full screen with touch controls.
There's no way in hell I could build a much better picture editor than other super known apps, so to hell with it. Not only I save precious apk size by not bundling some crashy third party lib, but I leave to the users concern to choose which editor to use.
Back to the picture and its touch controlls. Zooming is SUPER MEGA HYPER RETINA OMG smooth, the picture is divided into tiles and each tile is re-rendered to its best quality when you zoom in, it's just like magic and you don't even notice it happening... well now you know it.
Because your device probably sucks I load pictures by default with a lower "bitrate" which is why you'll probably see some banding on gradients, but FEAR NOT, you can enable the 32-bit decoder inside Options. How nice is that?
You can also choose the size of the grid to whatever you like. I like the default, but if you have a big display maybe the compact will look better.
You can share from other apps to Focus Go, you can share to other apps from Focus Go.

I mean what else do you need in a gallery? A coffee maker? And do you know the best of it? The apk size is ONLY ~2.3Mb!!!!!! Can you believe that?

This is 100% free and you'll probably "complain" about some missing feature you think should be here. If that's the case you can send me some feedback and I'll consider it. In the case I'll say no then should probably look elsewhere, there are galleries for every taste known to humanity.

Thanks for reading this masterpiece, I'm quite proud of it.

Ratings and reviews

Thank you for supporting a wide variety of files, images, and compressions including the various types of animated gif schemes! Hopefully there will be more folder browsing options but this is looking to be a solid "Photos" replacement. Edit: folder browsing options like folder name font size change, move to folder, copy to folder. Not just delete.

Clean, light but two big misses. First, no way to exclude folders so many unnecessary folders of music album covers and such. Second big miss is no way to pin or favourite folders, or otherwise rearrange the order. Only alternative appears to be to rename folders. With those two changes this would indeed be a killer app!

Why no simple gestures when viewing like swiping up to show info, swiping down to close the picture. Also, can't group by folder be sorted by date? It doesn't make a lot of sense to receive a WhatsApp image for example and having to scroll way down the gallery to reach the WhatsApp image folder when it has a new content. Edit: excited to know you're actually planning to add these 2 features, keep up the great work!
