Akari – Travel Album Organizer

Every trip sorted into real albums in Photos: a folder per trip, albums by city and theme. No manual sorting, edit before saving. Free: no subscription, ads or uploads.

Akari turns the photos from a trip into real albums in the Photos app: trip › city › theme. Photos are analyzed on your iPhone. Nothing is uploaded, and no photo is deleted. Free, with no ads, no in-app purchases and no account.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Pick a range: Home suggests your latest trip. You can also choose a date range, your recent photos, existing albums, or pick photos yourself.
2. Check the result: see which albums will be created and what goes in each one before anything is written. Accept it as is, or rename the trip, create fewer albums, or fix how a photo is sorted.
3. Tap Create: the albums appear in Photos. Nothing changes in your albums until you do.

THE ALBUMS YOU GET • Each trip goes into one folder, such as “Switzerland 2026” • One “All” album for the trip and one per city, such as “Switzerland 2026｜Zermatt｜All” • A separate album when a theme has enough photos: portraits, landscapes, food, pets, animals, architecture (5 photos or more by default; smaller themes can be kept one by one before creating) • Videos go into the “All” and city albums by when and where they were taken (videos are not sorted into themes) • A photo can be in several albums; the original is never copied • Photos without location are placed in a city by the time they were taken, and marked so you can check them

WHEN THERE ARE NEW PHOTOS • Update a trip from Home → Recently organized: only the new photos are added, and your earlier changes are kept • If creating is interrupted, tap Continue to create only the albums that are still missing • Save the way you like albums split, and Akari uses it next time

MORE TOOLS • Organize existing albums: find albums that overlap, merge, rename, re-sort, or delete albums you no longer want (only the album is deleted; the photos stay) • Archive: keep photos out of Akari's suggestions and organizing, and restore them any time; you can also choose to hide them in Photos

PRIVACY • No account. Akari collects no data and contains no analytics or advertising tools • Photos are analyzed on your iPhone and never uploaded to any server • Photos stored in iCloud are downloaded to this iPhone by the system before they are analyzed • To turn locations into place names, photo coordinates are sent to Apple's system place-name service • You can allow access to selected photos only; Akari then organizes just those • Akari only adds photos to albums and never deletes a photo

REQUIREMENTS iPhone with iOS 18 or later. Available in English, Traditional Chinese and Japanese.
