This is the arm64-v8a build of Aves Libre (f-droid version) 1.13.8 — the modern 64-bit ARM build that runs on virtually every Android phone released since 2017. It's smaller and faster than the universal variant because Android only loads the native code your CPU actually needs. If your phone is from the last 8 years, this is the right pick.

App Description
Aves
Aves is a gallery and metadata explorer app. It is built for Android, with Flutter.
Compare versions
Features
Aves can handle all sorts of images and videos, including your typical JPEGs and MP4s, but also more exotic things like
multi-page TIFFs, SVGs, old AVIs and more
!
It scans your media collection to identify
motion photos
,
panoramas
(aka photo spheres),
360° videos
, as well as
GeoTIFF
files.
Navigation and search
is an important part of Aves. The goal is for users to easily flow from albums to photos to tags to maps, etc.
Aves integrates with Android (including Android TV) with features such as
widgets
,
app shortcuts
,
screen saver
and
global search
handling. It also works as a
media viewer and picker
.

Permissions
Aves requires a few permissions to do its job:
read contents of shared storage
: the app only accesses media files, and modifying them requires explicit access grants from the user,
read locations from media collection
: necessary to display the media coordinates, and to group them by country (via reverse geocoding),
have network access
: necessary for the map view, and most likely for precise reverse geocoding too,
view network connections
: checking for connection states allows Aves to gracefully degrade features that depend on internet.

Frequently Asked Questions about Aves Libre (f-droid version) APK
This variant is built for 64-bit ARM (most Android phones made since 2017). If your device's CPU matches, this is the smallest, fastest version to install.
Yes — the APK's signature has been cryptographically verified against the publisher's signing key. The SHA-256 hash is shown in the File Information panel so you can independently confirm the file matches the original release.
Android 21 (API level 36) or newer. Older devices will refuse the install.
Install a free app like 'CPU-Z' or 'Droid Hardware Info' from the Play Store and look at the ABI / Instruction Set row. Most phones made after 2017 are arm64-v8a; if in doubt, download the universal variant.
All variants are functionally identical — same features, same version. They differ only in which CPU architectures the native code is compiled for, and (sometimes) which screen densities the included graphics target. Pick the one that matches your device for the smallest install size, or pick 'Universal' if you're unsure.
