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
Smart Stack
12 similar · tap to remove
Also on macOS

Plug in your Mac, hit Y and X — and watch years melt away.

The macOS companion mirrors your library. Keyboard shortcuts (Y keep, X delete, C favorite) make it the fastest way to clear years of photos in an afternoon. Syncs instantly with your phone.

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?

Free for your first 10 photos. After that, it's €2,99/month or €19,99/year ($3.99/month or $22.99/year in the US App Store). One subscription covers iPhone, iPad and Mac — no ads, no upsell, no “Pro” tier.

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.
