## What is Cernita?

Cernita turns the chore of cleaning your camera roll into a quick, satisfying swipe.

Your photos are dealt like a deck of cards. Swipe right to keep, swipe left to let go, swipe up to favorite. Marks gather into a batch, and one confirmation sends them to Recently Deleted, where iOS keeps them for 30 days. Nothing is gone until you say so.

HOW IT WORKS
- One card at a time, so every photo gets a real look
- Double-tap to zoom in and inspect before you decide
- Videos play inline: tap to pause, hold for 2x, drag the scrubber
- Trim a video to the part worth keeping and reclaim the rest
- Rotate a sideways photo or video; keeping it saves the fix to Photos, where you can still revert it
- Batches of 20, with one system confirmation per batch
- Undo the last swipe at any time
- Browse the whole library by month, start from any photo, and re-review one you already sorted
- Sort oldest first, newest first, or biggest first to clear the most space fast
- Filters for everything, favorites, screenshots, videos, and any Photos album
- Tap the date for the details: size, resolution, format, frame rate, and tags like Live or Screenshot
- Live Photos play on press, and GIFs animate right on the card
- Share any photo straight from the card
- A storage meter shows the free space on your iPhone
- Lifetime stats and badges that sync through iCloud

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Cernita runs entirely on your phone. No account, no server, no analytics, no ads. Your photos and your decisions never leave your device.
