Four-way swiping

Swipe left to mark for deletion, right to keep, up to add to Favorites and down to add to an album you choose. All can be undone.

Clean up by month

Browse photos and videos by month and pick up where you left off.

Photo comparison

Review photos taken close together side by side. Photos are grouped when neighboring shots were taken within 3 seconds of each other, so they aren't guaranteed to be similar or duplicates.

Quick Scan (Beta)

Analyzes old screenshots, similar images and more on your device. It can miss or misjudge photos, and Favorites and photos you've kept are never included.

Album management

Multi-select items, manage Favorites, create albums, and change sorting and display.

Review first, then delete

Check your delete list, then restore photos one by one or keep them all. Actual deletion still needs confirmation from Apple's Photos system prompt.

Light, dark and iPad

FAQ

Any other questions?

What if I delete the wrong photo?

You can undo in Swipee, or restore photos one by one from the delete list. After a photo is actually deleted, it goes to the system's Recently Deleted album, and you can recover it within 30 days as long as it hasn't been permanently deleted there.

Can I clean up by month?

Yes. Swipee browses photos by month, so you can clean up one month at a time and pick it up again later.

Are my photos uploaded?

Photo analysis happens on your device, and your photo library isn't uploaded to any third-party AI service. When you browse iCloud Photos, Apple's Photos app may download files from iCloud.

Where is the tutorial?

In the upcoming version, Settings > Tutorial lets you rewatch the four-way swipe animation, photo comparison, content and people suggestions, Quick Scan and delete confirmation. The App Store update is waiting to be submitted for review.

Can the language follow the system?

The upcoming version adds Follow System, English or Traditional Chinese at the top of Settings. The App Store update is waiting to be submitted for review. If your system language isn't supported, English is used.

Does it work on iPad?

Yes. Swipee supports iPad in portrait and landscape.
