Swiperoll: Photo Cleaner

Clean up by swiping: left deletes, right keeps. Nothing is deleted until you say so.

Your photo library is full and you never get around to cleaning it up? Swiperoll turns it into a second per picture: swipe left or right — that is the whole decision.

HOW IT WORKS Swipe left to sort a photo out. Swipe right to keep it. Swipe up to set the favorite star, just like in the Photos app.

NOTHING IS DELETED UNTIL YOU SAY SO Sorted-out items only go to the app's own trash. Tap any of them to get it back. The whole batch is deleted only on your command — and iOS asks once, not once per photo.

MISTAKES HAPPEN The undo button takes back your last decision. So does shaking the phone. And if you swipe away a favorite, you get asked first.

CLEAN UP ON PURPOSE Take on just the videos, just the screenshots, just the bursts — or everything. Sort by date or by file size: the ten largest videos often take up half of your storage.

ONE MONTH AT A TIME The whole mountain is paralysing. A single month is manageable, and one day it is actually finished.

JUDGE VIDEOS PROPERLY Videos play right on the card, with sound and a scrubber. A still frame will not tell you whether the shot is shaky.

BURSTS AS ONE A burst is one card, not thirty. In full screen you decide picture by picture which shot stays.

HONEST ABOUT STORAGE Deleted media stays for 30 days in the "Recently Deleted" album of the Photos app. Only then does iOS free the space — or right away if you empty it there yourself. Swiperoll tells you instead of leaving you guessing.

YOUR PHOTOS STAY WITH YOU No account, no server, no ads. The app works entirely on your iPhone. Anonymous usage statistics can be switched off in the settings.
