## What is Curate Photo?

Curate makes cleaning up your photo library fast and a little bit fun. Photos appear one at a time: swipe right to keep, swipe left to put it in your delete pile. Nothing is deleted until you review the pile and confirm.

SWIPE THROUGH YOUR LIBRARY
• Keep or delete with a swipe, or with the buttons and keyboard shortcuts
• Undo your last swipe at any time
• Photos, videos and Live Photos play right on the card

REVIEW BEFORE YOU DELETE
• See everything in your delete pile and how much space it will free
• Rescue anything with one tap
• Deleted items go to Recently Deleted, so you can recover them for 30 days

FIND WHAT TAKES UP SPACE
• Filter by screenshots, screen recordings, videos, Live Photos, selfies and more
• Sort by largest, oldest, newest, longest or shuffled
• Look only at items over a size you choose, or from a period you choose

FIND DUPLICATES
• Groups near-identical shots taken moments apart
• Suggests the best one to keep, you decide

AI SUGGESTIONS, ON YOUR DEVICE
• On supported devices, Apple Intelligence flags items that look like clutter, such as blurry shots, old screenshots or receipts
• Suggestions appear on the cards and can filter or sort your library
• Everything is analyzed on your device. Nothing is uploaded.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• No account, no ads, no tracking, no servers
• Works with limited photo access if you only want to share some photos
• Your progress is stored only on your device

Curate needs access to your photo library to show your photos and to delete the ones you choose.
