Aves is a gallery and metadata explorer app built for Android with Flutter.
The tool addresses the need to browse, organize, and inspect media collections with deep metadata support. It scans media to identify special content types like motion photos, panoramas, and 360° videos, and handles uncommon formats including multi-page TIFFs, SVGs, and GeoTIFF files. Navigation flows between albums, photos, tags, and maps to help users explore their collections intuitively.
Aves suits users who work with diverse or specialized image and video formats and need detailed metadata inspection. It integrates with Android system features including widgets, app shortcuts, screen savers, and global search, and functions as both a media viewer and picker. The app is available through multiple distribution channels including Google Play and F-Droid.
The project maintains active development with regular updates and builds passing consistently. Work spans across core gallery functionality, metadata parsing for formats like EXIF and XMP, specialized format support including motion photos and slow-motion video handling, and Android platform integration features.
