## What is FairSwipe?

FairSwipe is a photo and video cleaner without the subscription.

Swipe right to keep a photo, left to delete it, up to put it in an album. The difference with other photo cleaners is what happens at checkout: you pay once, or not at all.

TRY IT FIRST
The first 10 photos are free. No account, no email, no card. If you like it, one payment unlocks unlimited swiping, forever. Every future update is included.

NOTHING IS UPLOADED
Your photos never leave your device. FairSwipe has no server, no analytics and no trackers. Nothing about you is collected.

NOTHING IS LOST
Deleting goes through Apple's own confirmation, and every deleted photo sits in Recently Deleted for 30 days. Changed your mind? Get it back in the Photos app.

SEE THE WHOLE PHOTO
Every photo is shown complete, never cropped, in a card shaped like the photo itself. You're deciding whether to keep it, so you should see all of it.

CHOOSE WHERE TO START
Newest first, oldest first, largest first, random, or pick a month. The month list shows how many are still waiting in each month, so the backlog from years ago is one tap away instead of a thousand swipes. What you keep is remembered; a finished month tells you so.

VIDEOS TOO
That is where the space goes: one minute of video outweighs a hundred photos. Choose photos, videos or both. A video plays right on the card, with its length and file size, so you know what you are throwing away.

DUPLICATE PHOTOS AND VIDEOS
Copies and near-identical shots, videos included, are found on your device and shown side by side, the largest file proposed as the one to keep. Tap to open any of them full screen and decide for yourself. Screenshots have a mode of their own.

SORT INTO ALBUMS
Swipe a photo up and put it straight into an album, or make a new one on the spot. Your holiday no longer sits loose in your camera roll but in one album you can find again.

SHARE FROM THE CARD
Come across a photo you want to send? Tap share and send it to Messages, WhatsApp or Instagram, without looking for it in Photos first.

WORKS THE WAY YOU'D EXPECT
• A visible queue: photos and videos you swipe away are listed with the space they'll free, and you delete them when you're ready
• Undo for anything not yet deleted
• Pinch or double-tap to zoom in on a card
• iPhone and iPad, light and dark mode, eight languages

ONE FAIR PRICE
Other photo cleaners charge by the week or the year. FairSwipe costs one payment, once. No subscription, no timer, no "free trial" that quietly turns into a charge.

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.3 — 2026-09-15

New in 1.3: swipe a photo up to put it in an album, or make a new album on the spot; undo takes it out again. Share a photo or video straight from its card to Messages, WhatsApp or anywhere else. Duplicates now also finds copies of videos, where most of the space goes, and every visit checks what you added since. Still one payment, no subscription.

### 1.2 — 2026-09-12

Duplicates, screenshots and the biggest files. FairSwipe now finds copies and near-identical shots on your device and proposes what to keep. Screenshots have a mode of their own, the start screen shows how many photos, videos and screenshots you have and how much space they take, and "Largest first" starts with what weighs the most. Nothing leaves your device. Pinch or double-tap a card to zoom in.

### 1.1 — 2026-09-09

Choose where to start and what to clean. New on the start screen: Newest first, Oldest first, Random, or pick a month, and a switch between photos, videos or both. Videos play right on the card, with their length and size, since that is where most of the space goes. Photos you keep stay remembered, and a finished month tells you so.

### 1.0 — 2026-09-09

No release notes.
