So I accidentally turned backup on with my butt or something the other day, and Google Photos decided it was fine to upload to the cloud all my photos which I keep locally on my device.

I don't need or want cloud backup, thanks very much, and I didn't enjoy having to research how to delete all the images from the cloud while keeping them in my device, and enjoyed even less then doing all of that manually.

Zero out of five stars, I did not enjoy and would not recommend.

Now, can you recommend a free app that lets me browse and manage my own personal local collection of images? My preference is for something with an intuitive, easy to use interface. What are y'all lemmings using?

Oh christ the exact same thing happened to me and now I'm dreading having to do what you had to.

Fossify Gallery is what I'm using. It's actually relatively feature-rich, but the basic interface is still simple and it's not developed by a corporation, so no conflicts of interest.

Immich if you are self hosting.

Switched to Fossify Gallery not too long ago. It's plain, simple, and just works.
