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
