Gallery applications are among the most popular on Google Play Store, as smartphone owners either use stock apps on their phones or choose from the many alternatives available out there. One new such application has emerged, and it seems that it could be a true competitor to QuickPic and others in this category.

HoraApps has just announced Leafpic on Reddit, as a gallery app with multiple neat and useful tools. The application is based on fully open source software that was posted on Github for anyone to bring their contribution and report any issue or suggest features.

The application is ad-free, which means that it doesn't come with annoying ads that would affect user experience, and the company has mentioned that it doesn't intend to enable them either.

Moreover, the app comes with multiple customization options, including 50 main colors, 9 accent colors, and even 3 base themes, namely light, dark, and AMOLED black. The company has mentioned that users can generate over 1,800 theme combinations using the tools found inside the application.

Leafpic will come with privacy settings to protect pictures

Other than that, HoraApps promises not to engage with third-party services and make user photos available to them. Privacy is an important aspect in this day and age, and it's only normal that users are interested in this aspect of the app.

HoraApps has informed us that Leafpic is currently in beta testing, so users who are interested in the app can join the program on the Play store. The company intends to create a solid and fast base so that future features will be implemented more easily.

HoraApps has also specified that the application is licensed under GNU V3 Public License and said that an older version of the app is already available in the Play Store, but that the source code was taken by someone who didn't follow the terms of the license. The company urges users not to download the app and report it to Google if possible.

Leafpic could also be a good alternative to Google Photos, for users who wish to try something new and with multiple customization options.
