Sift

Your camera roll holds thousands of photos. Most of them you'll never look at again — but deleting feels risky, so nothing gets cleared.

Sift makes it simple: swipe right to keep, swipe left to delete. One photo at a time, at your own pace. What you're really doing is deciding which moments matter — and Sift makes that feel easy rather than overwhelming.
Nothing is permanently deleted until you confirm it. So there's nothing to be afraid of.

Smart Collections
Sift organises your photos automatically so you can review them in context:

• People & Pets — photos grouped by face, so you can clear duplicates of the same person in one go
• Trips — photos from the same location and time window, grouped as a journey
• Places — your most-visited spots, surfaced automatically
• Food, Selfies, Screenshots, and more

All grouping happens on your device using on-device machine learning. Your photos never leave your phone.

Safe Delete
Deleted photos move into a 7-day recovery window before permanent deletion — so you can undo a mistake without losing anything.

Your privacy, by design
Sift processes everything on your device. No photos are uploaded, no face data is transmitted, no account required. Anonymous usage statistics are opt-in and contain no photos or personal information.

Free and Premium
Sift is free to use. Your first session covers the last 30 days of photos. After that, a new session unlocks every 7 days covering that week's new photos — so your library stays current as you shoot.

Upgrade to Premium for:
• Unlimited sessions — review whenever you want
• Your full photo library, not just the last week
• All Smart Collections — People & Pets, Places, Trips, and more
• All time filters — browse by any month or date range
• Safe Delete — 7-day recovery before permanent deletion

Try Premium free for 7 days, then £7.99/year — or £39.99 for lifetime access.

Sift manages photos on your device. Photos backed up to Google Photos or other cloud services are not affected.
