Monthly card stacks

Your library, stacked like polaroids.

Instead of 47,000 thumbnails, SwipePhotos shuffles your camera roll into tidy monthly decks. Pick up where you left off, see the oldest first, and watch years of mess disappear deck-by-deck.

  • Auto-groups by month, place, or person
  • Progress indicator on every stack — never lose your place
  • Works directly with Apple Photos — nothing uploaded anywhere

One-hand swiping

Keep, kill, or favorite — instantly.

Flick right to keep. Left to delete. Up to favorite. Tap-and-hold to undo. A soft iOS haptic on every decision, a Keep stamp on every winner, and a progress bar that makes you want to do one more.

  • Deletions go to a review tray — nothing is gone until you say so
  • Undo any swipe — all the way back to your first one
  • Haptic feedback tuned for iPhone 15+ taptic engines

Smart Stack

Bursts solved.

When SwipePhotos spots 8 nearly-identical shots, it pops a grid: tap the bad ones, keep the best one. Done in three seconds, instead of swiping through the same bay window twelve times.

  • On-device ML detects similar scenes and bursts
  • Everything kept by default — tap to remove, never lose a good shot
  • Resume swiping exactly where the burst ended

People are weirdly emotional about this app.

★★★★★
Photos sorted out lightning-fast and perfectly organized
“The app makes cleaning up my photo gallery incredibly easy and fast. The swipe handling is intuitive and smooth, so I can sort through tons of pictures in no time. The best part — I finally focus on the photos that actually matter. No more photo clutter. Using it is genuinely fun and saves a huge amount of time. Clear 5 stars from me!”

Best app for sorting out photos!
“Awesome — finally an app that lays out multiple similar pictures in one super clear view. No more annoying swiping back and forth, just every photo at a glance with the option to view them large. I’m thrilled, and the value for money is really good compared to other apps!”

Easy and intuitive
“Can’t complain about anything — clean and intuitive design, and the best of its kind in my opinion. Your money is well spent if you have to organise many photos.”

Questions?

Good,
we’ve got answers.

Everything we get asked, in one place. If you don’t see it here, drop us a line at [email protected].

Does SwipePhotos upload my photos anywhere?

No. Everything happens on your device. SwipePhotos reads from your Apple Photos library using the system API, makes decisions locally, and only moves photos to the Apple Recently Deleted album when you confirm. We have no servers that touch your photos — we literally couldn’t look at them if we wanted to.

What happens to photos I delete?

They go to Apple’s Recently Deleted album for 30 days, where you can recover them. SwipePhotos never force-deletes anything. At any point during swiping you can hit the undo button to roll back your last 20 decisions.

Do I need the Mac app?

No — the iPhone app is the whole experience. The Mac app is free with your purchase and mirrors your library for people who want the keyboard-shortcut speed. Most people use both.

How much does it cost?

Sorting your first month of photos is free — no time limit, no card. To delete what you've sorted, and to sort beyond that first month, Pro is $2.99/month or $19.99/year in your local App Store. One subscription covers iPhone, iPad and Mac — no ads, no upsells.

Does it work with iCloud Photos?

Yes. SwipePhotos works with any library Apple Photos can see — iCloud Photos, local libraries, shared albums. Changes sync across your devices the same way any edit in Photos does.

How is SwipePhotos different from SwipeWipe or other photo cleaner apps?

SwipePhotos covers the same swipe-right-to-keep, swipe-left-to-delete workflow you know, but adds a Smart Stack for duplicate bursts, a native Mac companion with keyboard shortcuts (Y/X/C), and strictly on-device processing. Pricing is simple: one subscription covers iPhone, iPad and Mac — no time-gated free tier, no weekly upsells.
