Ente is an open-source, end-to-end encrypted cloud platform with client apps for photos (a Google Photos alternative), document/credential storage (Locker), and 2FA authenticator (Auth), plus the server that powers them. The monorepo includes cross-platform Flutter clients and a self-hostable Go/TypeScript backend, with externally audited cryptography.

Use cases

  • back up photos privately without Google or Apple
  • self-host an encrypted Google Photos alternative
  • replace Authy with an open-source 2FA authenticator
  • store sensitive documents and credentials encrypted
  • share photo albums end-to-end encrypted with family
  • search photos semantically without giving up privacy

When to choose

  • you want zero-knowledge, end-to-end encrypted photo backup across mobile, desktop, and web
  • you need a self-hostable alternative to Google Photos or iCloud Photos
  • you want an open-source, cross-platform 2FA authenticator app
  • privacy audits and data exportability matter to you

When to avoid

  • you need a general-purpose cloud drive for arbitrary files rather than photos and documents
  • you want a free unlimited-storage service (free tier is 10GB)
  • you need deep third-party app integrations or ecosystem features of mainstream cloud services
