About SwipePhotos
SwipePhotos clears clutter from Apple Photos in short sessions. Photos are swiped right to keep, left to delete, or tapped with a heart to favorite, in decks grouped by month so progress can resume where it stopped. A Smart Stack shows bursts and near-duplicates together in a grid so the weaker shots can be marked and the strongest frame kept, and dedicated tabs for videos and large files reveal the biggest space users.
Deletion has a safety step: a double tap undoes the last swipe, and photos you mark for removal wait in a review tray, and reach Apple's Recently Deleted album only when you confirm. A Mac app uses keyboard keys for keep, delete, undo and favorite, with the same library and progress. Photos are read through PhotoKit and processed on the device with no uploads, and iCloud Photos is supported. It is a paid app: weekly or yearly subscriptions or a one-time lifetime purchase cover both iPhone and Mac, with referral codes that add free trial time.
