Pho is a serverless, self-hosted photo gallery and sync app that replaces your phone's native photos app and incrementally backs up photos/videos to storage you control (SMB, WebDAV, NFS, and more in the Pro version). It has no central server or database, organizing cloud files by date-based directory structure. The open-source edition provides core viewing and sync for Android, while a paid Pro edition adds AES encryption, parallel uploads, and extra cloud providers on iOS and Android.
Use cases
- back up my phone photos to my NAS automatically
- replace Google Photos with a self-hosted photo sync
- view local and cloud photos in one gallery
- sync camera roll to SMB or WebDAV storage
- private photo backup without a server
- incremental photo sync to network storage
- browse photos on my homelab NAS from my phone
When to choose
- you want photo backups to your own NAS or cloud drive with no server component
- you prefer simple date-based file storage you can access directly
- you want an open-source core with privacy-focused, no-analytics design
- you use SMB, WebDAV, or NFS on a homelab
When to avoid
- you need AES-encrypted uploads, parallel transfers, or filters - those are Pro-only
- you need an iOS open-source build - the open edition is Android APK only
- you want web or desktop access to your gallery
- you need features like facial recognition, albums, or sharing links
