Your brokebrain sin is absolved...go and shitpost no more!

the use case is "giving my phone to my little cousin to play with". if we make the reasonable assumption that little cousins probably want to play games or watch YouTube, pinning works for this. it isn't a perfect technological "set it and forget it" solution but the poster who asked about it might prefer this tradeoff, or at least find it "less bad" than other solutions

pinning also works for photo apps. get a second photo app that you use solely when you want to show someone a few photos, then send the photos you want to show them to the second app, then pin the second app

The only solution I've found to having encrypted media with tagging / nested albums/folders support is actually Samsung's "Secure Folder" Knox App, which creates a sandbox environment completely isolated from your standard phone environment.

Basically just want to be able to share my phone with family members without worrying about them accidentally stumbling across photos / videos I don't want them to see.

It doesn't answer all your requirements since it doesn't allow you to tag photos with "has a fetish for smashing watermelons on their own head during" but putting this stuff in a Veracrypt container (list of mobile clients here), such as EDS, may be a good way of protecting them. However, it requires manual organisation as files, so fire up your favourite File Manager.

Can't help on the tagging specifically though.

So a second user account shares media with the first rather than having it's own dedicated space which is not what I expected so that's out.

Encrypted folders is an option but I've found an even simpler one! I forgot my phone has expandable storage, so I just moved all my media to an SD card, removed the SD card, and walla, problem solved, and tags carry back over since they're saved to metadata (IIRC).

Now I just copy back a bunch of safe photos back to the phone so we can browse em together and chat about them (it's great bonding!).

Pop the SD card back in, and I've got all my nude watermelon smashing back.

It's not just papaya porn and my extensive library of scrotal selfies tagged and catalogued by amount of wrinkles and season, though. There's 10 years of photos and videos that I've moved from phone to phone on this thing, I don't even know what the gently caress is on there from my young-man days when I still had friends. Fairly certain I've got snaps of mates getting tattoos, flipping the bird, mooning, a bong on a table in the background, etc.

Also I'm certain I've got photos of when I wiped out mountain biking and gouged off a portion of my upper lip (RIP ever having a mustache *sob*). Don't want 6-year-old cousin Mary to stumble across that while we're looking through photos of my last trip to the zoo or w/e.

I also recommend the Costco app, or a link to their website, as they do great deals on bulk fruit for those kinky weekends.

That aside, I really recommend you back up those 10 years of photos to something reliable and not subject to loss or unexpected juice contact. Were this not the sort of porn you could sort into seeded and seedless, I would say Google Photos. Failing that, I'd again return to Veracrypt etc for that purpose.

-I assume the thread title is still current re: Twitter clients that don't suck (like Twitter itself does)?

Timely has been bought and abandoned by Google, it also lacks material design and is comparatively feature poor. The alarm sounds it has are great tho, so great in fact I unpacked
Timelys APK just so I could use them in other apps.

That may all be true but Timely still does everything I want an alarm app to do, and I've had zero issues with it over several years.

Timely works great, sounds great, and has zero issues along with alarms always being reliable. The fact it hasn't gotten recent updates is inconsequential.

AMdroid has a lot of convenience features that Timely lacks, like skipping next days alarm or auto-skipping holidays. I understand a lack of updates being no reason to switch away from Timely but if I'm starting at zero, like the person asking is, I'd rather go with the more feature complete and future proof option.

I've never had a use case for that, as I toggle my alarm off every morning then on again at night :shrug: To each their own. Timely ticks every box for me and others.

Tried both, went AMDroid just because the Timely UI is weird as gently caress to set an alarm. Thanks for recs.

Yeah my default alarms app literally has been turning alarms off that I set the night before. Like, I'll wake up (20 minutes late, naturally) and they're not even switched on.

I'm old and remember the days of alarm clocks and it suuuuuccccckkkked. Power went out? I sure hope that battery you put in ten years isn't dead. And then there's all the ambient light and the fact that segmented LCDs are hard to read when you're tired. You also have to reset them twice a year for the time.

Phones as an alarm clocks is cool and good, and AMdroid is the best one for Android.

I'm 37 and the alarm clock I've had for the last 13 years is great. It's never crashed, run out of battery, or failed to go off. It automatically turns off on the weekends and there's a simple switch for daylight savings time. I don't need to remember to set it when I upgrade phones.

i still have an alarm clock/radio but lol at using it for alarms. you can only set one (maybe two) alarms on them, the clock drifts, it's a pain to adjust the clock and alarm, 9-volt battery backup is bad design, and there's no scheduling abilities. I'm sure some Innernet of Tyngs clock exists but I bet it's worse than Android

The AOSP clock app is one of my favorite computer programs of all time since about Android 4.0 or 5.0. I don't mean that to say other clock apps are worse or anything either, I just really like it!
