Aves is a feature-rich gallery app focused on organizing, browsing, and viewing photos and videos with precision. It indexes media on device storage and surfaces powerful ways to explore content, such as by folders, albums, dates, tags, and embedded metadata. The viewer prioritizes smooth gestures (pinch-to-zoom, pan, fling) and a clean, immersive interface that keeps controls out of the way until needed. Aves emphasizes metadata awareness, reading details like EXIF and other tags to enable filters, smart sorting, and deep search. The app supports batch operations like moving, renaming, sharing, or deleting, and integrates common conveniences like favorites and collections. It is built with attention to responsiveness and accessibility, making large libraries manageable on phones and tablets alike. The project’s structure also invites customization, allowing users to tailor appearance and certain behaviors to their preferences.
