Private by construction
Media is read through Android’s media store and processed on the device. No upload, no account, no cloud render queue. Files leave only when you explicitly share or export them.
ReelRoll
Your gallery as a private reel feed, with a full video editor that never uploads a frame.

Free to install · Android 9 and newer
A local-first gallery that plays your photos and videos as a vertical reel, plus a non-linear editor with text, masks, transitions and audio — rendered entirely on the device.
What it does
Features
Everything below works with the network switched off.
Your gallery as a reel feed
Swipe full-screen photos and videos instead of scrolling a grid. Favourites, manual tags and tags derived from your albums keep the feed to the moments you actually want.
Collections, tags and one-tap reels
Build your own collections, tag media and filter by tag. A collection can become a reel in one tap, so the trip you organised is the trip you edit. Locations and device badges come from EXIF, and sharing can strip that metadata when you want it gone.
A real non-linear editor
Trim, split, merge, speed, reverse, crop to any aspect ratio, add text with keyframes, overlays, masks, transitions, subtitles, voice-over and background audio on a timeline with undo and redo.
Local FFmpeg render
Exports are rendered on the device, so a long reel never depends on a server queue or an upload limit. Your original clips are never modified.
Studio keeps the exports
Every finished reel lands in Studio: replay, share or delete from one place, without hunting through folders.
Getting started
How it works
Three steps from install to the first real use.
Grant media access
ReelRoll reads your library through the Android media store. You can allow the full library or only selected items on Android 14 and newer.
Scroll the feed, or make a reel
Watch your gallery as a vertical feed, or pick clips and open the editor to build something new.
Export on the device
Render locally to Movies/ReelRoll, share when you choose — with or without the location metadata.

FAQ
ReelRoll questions
Can't find it here? Ask support — a real person answers.
Does ReelRoll upload my photos or videos?
No. ReelRoll has no upload path: media is read from the device, edited in memory and rendered locally with FFmpeg. There is no account and no cloud processing. Your files leave the phone only when you use Share or Export yourself.
Which permissions does ReelRoll need?
Media read access only — the images, video and audio permissions, plus the partial-access option introduced in Android 14. Every permission and every storage location it writes to is listed in the privacy policy.
Where are exported reels saved?
Exports go to Movies/ReelRoll on shared storage, and extracted audio goes to Music/ReelRoll. Both locations are named in the privacy policy and are ordinary files you can move or delete with any file manager.
Does sharing strip location data?
When you choose to share without metadata, ReelRoll removes EXIF and location information from the copy it hands to the share sheet. The original file on your device is never modified.
Does ReelRoll show ads?
Yes — ReelRoll is free and ad-supported. Native ads appear in the gallery grid, in Collections and in Studio, occasional full-screen native pages appear in the Reels feed, and an occasional full-screen ad appears after an export (never before the third one, never while editing and never over your media). Ads are served by Google AdMob, which has no access to your photos, videos, tags or collections. Where the law requires it you choose whether personalised ads are allowed, and Settings → Ad privacy settings lets you change that choice later.
Is there an iOS version?
ReelRoll for iOS is in development as a native Swift port of the same product. It is not on the App Store yet; this page will list it when it ships.
Does the editor need an internet connection?
No. Timelines, effects, fonts, stickers and renders are all local. A network connection is never required to edit or export.
Can I undo an edit?
Yes. Edits are stored as a non-destructive operation list, so undo and redo work across the timeline and your original clips are never overwritten.

The best Android gallery apps in 2027 for browsing, not filing
Your photos are in a grid you never scroll and folders you never open. A gallery that browses like a feed and organises by tag is a different product — here is how the Android options compare.
ReadBuilding a video editor that never uploads your footage
A non-linear editor on a phone is a rendering problem, an undo problem and a storage problem. How ReelRoll keeps all three local with FFmpeg, an operation list and no cloud queue.
