Your camera roll has 47,000 photos. You've tried before. You opened the Photos app, scrolled for 10 minutes, closed it, and felt worse. Manual cleanup doesn't scale — the workflow has to.
1.6k+ people search for this every month. SwipePhotos is built specifically for what they’re trying to do.
SwipePhotos breaks your camera roll into monthly decks and gives you one big motion — swipe — instead of two small ones (tap, then confirm). Most people clear a month every 5-8 minutes and finish a decade in a weekend.
Old photos are easier to judge — you've already decided whether they mattered.
10-15 minutes per month is a sustainable pace. Most people do 3-4 months a sitting.
Don't deliberate. If you hesitate longer than 2 seconds, swipe right.
You're not curating a museum. You're picking the ones that should still exist next year.
SwipePhotos is paywalled in the app, with weekly, yearly, and lifetime options. One purchase covers iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
Process photos in time-bounded batches. Open the oldest month, swipe through it in one sitting, then stop. Going chronologically beats trying to clean "everything" because you can see the trip / event / season as a unit. SwipePhotos enforces this workflow automatically.
Most SwipePhotos users average 5-8 minutes per 100 photos, which works out to about 8-12 hours total for a 10,000-photo library. Most people split that across a long weekend, doing 2-3 hours per session.
No — deletions go to Apple's Recently Deleted album for 30 days. You can recover any photo during that window with one tap. SwipePhotos also has an in-app undo button that rolls back your last 20 swipes inside a session.
Weekly, yearly, or lifetime. Works on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. 100% on-device.
