MM Gallery
A gallery app built by putting AI to serious use, and making it as polished as possible.
MM Gallery is the first mobile app I've built as an independent developer.
This app was first released as "MyGallery". To make the name easier to remember, we renamed it "MM Gallery", combining the developer's name, "mfactory", with the former name, "My Gallery".
Before this, I built and released a text editor for Windows called "gPad," which won the Silver Award at the Forest.watch Awards 2012.
This time, rather than just letting AI build the app, I made every decision as the developer and worked out the details myself. What can a long-time engineer build when they put AI to serious use? This app is the answer.
I've documented the development process in an article on Zenn and in the full list of articles.
What kind of app can you build when you put AI to serious use?
If that sounds interesting, give it a try.

About Cloud Storage Integration
The App connects to NAS / Windows shares (SMB / Samba), FTP, Google Cloud Storage, or S3-compatible storage only when you explicitly set it up. It uses photos and videos in shared folders (SMB), server folders, or buckets you manage or have the right to use, for gallery display, syncing, and file management.
The App does not use photos, videos, file or object information, or credentials from these storage services for advertising, sales, or any purpose unrelated to providing its features.
