Cloudroll
An iPhone app for Memories, the photo gallery app for Nextcloud. Not affiliated with Nextcloud GmbH or the Memories project.
Cloudroll is free and open source, with no ads and no tracking. It's supported by optional donations (see Support).
Status
In testing, not on the App Store yet. With Memories 9+ Cloudroll wraps Memories in native iOS controls:
- Your iPhone's photos in the timeline next to the ones on Nextcloud, with upload, delete (from the phone, Nextcloud or both), share and Save to Photos
- A native photo viewer with Live Photos, an info panel and smooth swiping
- Editing phone photos through PhotoKit, so the Photos app can revert the edit
- Liquid Glass navigation, Face ID lock, alternate app icons
- Several Nextcloud accounts, on one server or several
With older Memories versions it shows Memories' own web interface. See the roadmap and design decisions.
Requirements
- iOS 17+
- Nextcloud with Memories installed. Native features will need Memories 9+, which requires Nextcloud 34+.
Building
A Mac isn't needed. GitHub Actions builds every push (.github/workflows/ios.yml). To build on a Mac:
brew install xcodegen
xcodegen generate --spec config/project.yml --project .
open Cloudroll.xcodeproj
The Xcode project is generated from config/project.yml and isn't committed.
