The famous swipe
Right to keep, left to delete. Clean thousands of photos without pinching, multi-select hell, or endless scroll.
Features built for messy camera rolls
Everything below is product direction for PhotoSwipe, the iPhone photo cleaner. Details may change before App Store release. We’ll ship honest limitations with the app.
PhotoSwipe is a coming-soon iPhone photo cleaner. It is not the PhotoSwipe JavaScript gallery library. The goal is simple: make keep/delete decisions faster on a full camera roll without weekly pricing traps or uploading your library to “the cloud” just to trash a screenshot.
Smart queues
Jump into screenshots, bursts, similar shots, large videos, or blurry photos. That clutter fills storage first. Planned for v1.
Duplicates & similars
Spot near-identical shots, keep the sharpest, bin the rest in one flow. Complements Apple’s Duplicates album.
See space you’ll free
Know how many megabytes or gigabytes you’re about to reclaim before you confirm. Design goal for launch.
On-device privacy
Your photos stay on your iPhone. We don’t need a cloud copy of your life to help you delete a screenshot.
Review before it’s gone
Peek at your delete pile and restore anything you swiped too fast. Commit when you’re ready.
The famous swipe
Multi-select in Photos works for obvious junk. It falls apart when every frame needs a judgment call. Swipe review keeps one photo full-screen so you decide faster without fat-finger selecting the wrong thumbnail.
Smart queues
Start where density is highest. Screenshots and near-duplicates usually free more space per minute than scrolling All Photos from newest to oldest. Queues are product direction for v1, not a finished App Store checklist.
Duplicates & similars
Apple’s Duplicates album catches exact or near-exact copies. Similar shots (same scene, different blink) still need a human. We aim to speed that pass without replacing free system tools you should use first.
See space you’ll free
Deletes sit in Recently Deleted until you empty it. Showing reclaimable space before confirm sets honest expectations: confirm + empty Recently Deleted is what actually moves the free-GB number.
On-device privacy
Core keep/delete is designed to run on-device. When we ship, App Store privacy labels and the Privacy Policy will list any analytics or crash tooling. No “upload your camera roll for AI” requirement for basic cleanup.
Review before it’s gone
Fast swipes create accidents. A review tray before permanent commit (and Apple’s Recently Deleted window after) is the safety net. Commit when you’re sure, not mid-gesture.
What you should use before any third-party app
Apple already ships strong free tools. Use them first. Settings → General → iPhone Storage shows how large Photos is. Albums → Media Types surfaces Screenshots, Videos, and Live Photos. Albums → Utilities → Duplicates merges exact or near-exact copies. Empty Recently Deleted when you want free space back now (Items → Recently Deleted in Photos).
How these features fit together
Smart queues aim to surface dense clutter. Swipe review is for judgment-heavy similar shots. Storage estimates set expectations before confirm. Privacy and review trays reduce the cost of mistakes. None of this replaces emptying Recently Deleted if you need gigabytes back today.
