Description

✨ Core features of this App
1) 🔍 Media Scanner: automatically scan all folders to find out all the media files, including those not in the media store.
☞ On Android 11 and above, You need to manually add the folders to be scanned.
2) 📁 Create or delete the ".nomedia" file in any folders: "ON" means to create a .nomedia file in a folder, "OFF" means to delete the .nomedia file from a folder.

💫 There are two view modes to manage, viewing media files and .nomedia files
1) Folder list mode: more convenient, the default mode.
2) File browser mode: advanced mode, works like a file manger.

ℹ️※ What can it do?
📁 1. Create ".nomedia" file in the containing directory signaling the media scanner to ignore media, so as to hiding useless and redundant media file(image/photo, music, video) in Gallery, Music Player, Video Player and other APP base on media store.
🔍 2. Use as a media scanner, find out all the media file(image/photo, music, video) on your device, and update to the media store, so you can view the media file in Gallery, Music Player, Video Player and other APP base on media store.

ℹ️※ What is this:
This APP can help you to create or remove a file called .nomedia in a
folder contains media files easily. And refresh MediaStore immediately!
ℹ️※ What is a .nomedia file?
.nomedia file signaling the media scanner to ignore media in the containing directory and its subdirectories. This prevents media scanner from reading your media files(image, video, audio) and providing them to other apps(Gallery, Music Player, Video Player etc.) through the MediaStore content provider.

If you want to scan all the photo/image/music/video on your device;
If the Gallery, Media Player always load some pictures, videos or audios which you do think are useless, redundant.
Then this APP may be what you need.

📌Note:
The main purpose of this app is let the junk media files(which we do think) don't show in some APP(such as the Gallery, Play Music) based on MediaStore. It is not a tool to hide files and protect your privacy, as files may be show in file manager APPs.

ℹ️※ How to use:
1. The application will scan picture, video, audio files from the MediaStore and file system, and then categorizes them by folder.
2. When a folder is set to "ON," means that media files in this folder will NOT be scanned by MediaStore, otherwise will be scanned.
3. In the list view, click the folder preview to view folder detail.
4. In the grid view, click the file preview can play the media file.

⚠️ Warning: This APP may NOT work on SOME devices. It may cause files to be deleted automatically on SOME Samsung devices. Anyway you can try it out. It's a good idea to try it on unimportant folders/files firstly.

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

2 ★Hey Dev, Works fine when adding .nomedia file, but deleting .nomedia doesn't refresh the content until reboot. Even I have faced the similar issue, is the issue with MediaScannerConnection API ?
2 ★It screwed my files up way more than it helped. All my photos disappeared. Developer did warn it may not work on some devices; mine might be one of them.
5 ★Excelent and simple! Solved my issues with images not showing up on gallery apps, that I spent days trying to solve, with one touch.
5 ★Works like a dream. My Google photos app was showing a lot of cache photos from other apps. This solved the problem in few seconds.
5 ★It is great to keep your photo private.
1 ★Please fix the button on and off My button is stuck in on i cannot to change to the off button
5 ★Worked like a charm and very easy! So glad I don't have the cached images filling up my photos anymore.
5 ★Works as described would recommend To anyone looking to not have album art show up in photo gallery, or to hide any other type of media from other phone scan apps.
4 ★i think its a great app, I would happily pay for a Pro version to remove adds too. In fact, I would give it 5 stars if I could remove adds for a reasonable price
2 ★a desructive dismantler(ITERATIVE/HACK CONSORTIUM OR BOTH, RESIDENT) is dismantling every app that this Android and previous Androids have had loaded into them, TO WHICH THIS IS ONE, to impress the Androids inabilities to me, and the subsequent informatives, by myself to others, for the ease of their controls into the people, at the loss of the Android communications system. which should lead to the failing of other systems, with no conflict. SO THE DARKNESS BEGINS, AGAIN.
5 ★Very helpful and organized, and easy to access your files and get to what you want very quickly!!!👍
5 ★This app eliminated all unwanted photos from my photo gallery. Photos that would pop up from cache, random file apps, & FB ads. I love this app!
