Flick is the fastest way to tidy up your photo library — on iPhone, iPad and Mac. Built on one idea: one decision at a time. → SWIPE TO DECIDE Right keeps. Left moves to Trash. No accidental deletions, no grid-tap regret. Decisions sit safely in Trash until you confirm them in a batch — same concept as Recently Deleted in Photos. → SMART GROUPS Flick auto-organizes your library so you decide less: • Exact Duplicates — identical shots and chat-app re-saves, matched by image fingerprint • Bursts — your continuous-shot sequences, grouped • Screenshots — all of them, one tap to clear • Visually Similar — on-device AI finds duplicates and near-duplicates • Possibly Blurry — shaky or out-of-focus photos surfaced Every group has a one-tap smart suggestion: preview the thumbnails, pick what stays, then confirm. Nothing moves until you say so. → CLEAN UP BY MONTH Tap the progress capsule at the top and pick a month to focus on. Every month shows its photo count, size, estimated savable space and a photo thumbnail, sorted so the most savable months surface first. Finish one month, pick the next — big libraries finally have a place to start. Works with iCloud-only libraries too. → SEE YOUR PROGRESS A stats dashboard shows how far you've come: a progress ring for your library, total space freed front and center, monthly cleanup charts, and a shelf of achievement medals to collect. → FAST ON BIG LIBRARIES The first scan analyzes 30,000 photos in 2–3 minutes, right on your device. 500 photos or 50,000 — Flick handles it. iCloud "Optimize Storage" mode is auto-detected and handled gracefully. → FULLSCREEN PREVIEW Tap any thumbnail to zoom in at original aspect ratio, swipe between photos with native Photos.app feel, and send to Trash without leaving the preview. → 100% PRIVATE All analysis runs on your device using Apple's Vision framework. No server. No tracking. No third-party SDKs. Flick literally cannot see your photos. → HONEST PRICING Scan, group, preview and stage photos for free. You can confirm deletion for up to 20 photos or 100 MB, then unlock unlimited cleanup with one lifetime purchase valid across iPhone, iPad and Mac. No subscription, no auto-renewal, no surprise charges. Apple Family Sharing supported (up to 5 family members). → FIVE LANGUAGES Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean — all native translations. ——— Why one more photo cleaner? Because every other one runs on a pricey yearly subscription and uploads your photos to "AI cloud servers." Flick is a one-person indie app, built around the idea that a clean photo library shouldn't cost you a subscription. ——— Questions? flick@appsupport.mahui.me Privacy: https://flick.app.mahui.me/privacy.html Terms: https://flick.app.mahui.me/terms.html ## Key features - Swipe to keep or delete photos - AI-powered smart grouping (bursts, screenshots, similar, blurry) - On-device analysis for 100% privacy - Progress dashboard and achievement medals - Fullscreen preview with original aspect ratio - One-time purchase, no subscription ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: Free. **One-time purchases** | Purchase | Price | Type | | --- | --- | --- | | Flick Pro Lifetime | $9.99 | one-time | ## Frequently asked questions about Flick ### How does Flick help organize my photos?

Once you're all clear it shows your all-time freed total, and the medium size adds a 6-month chart. Two lock-screen styles (circular and rectangular) on iPhone and iPad. - Full VoiceOver support: the swipe deck, the Trash grid, and the monthly stats chart are all readable, with rotor actions to keep, delete, or view the full photo. - Purchases now always talk back: Restore Purchases confirms its outcome, Ask to Buy explains that approval is pending, and a failed purchase tells you why. - Fixes: an empty month no longer claims it's "all tidy"; review history moved to a sturdier database store with a safer upgrade migration; assorted stability fixes. ### 1.6.0 — 2026-08-16 - New Siri Shortcut, Check Trash: ask how many photos are waiting and how much space deleting them would reclaim — without opening Flick. It returns the photo count as a value, so you can build it into Shortcuts automations, like a reminder once Trash reaches 50 photos. - New Shortcuts action, Clean Up a Month: give it a month and Flick opens straight into that month's swipe deck. Pair it with a date automation to sweep last month on a schedule. - Fixed: on the Smart Groups screen, tapping the small thumbnails at the bottom of a card opened the next group. Thumbnails now open their own card's group, the same as tapping the cover. ### 1.5.0 — 2026-08-07 - New: clean up by month. Tap the progress capsule at the top of the swipe screen and pick a month to focus on. Every month shows its photo count, size, estimated savable space and a photo thumbnail — sortable by savable, by size or by time. Finish one month, pick the next. Big libraries finally have a place to start. - iCloud-only libraries get the month list too: sizes come straight from iCloud metadata, no downloads needed. Turn on iCloud loading and Flick can additionally detect Visually Similar and Possibly Blurry photos, making the savings estimate more complete. - Four new achievements: Ten-Thousand Legend, 10 GB Summit, Month Cleared and Half-Year Sweep — every month you finish counts. - Possibly Blurry is more careful about pre-selecting: only photos that are definitively blurry get pre-checked, borderline shots are left for you to judge. - The Similar Groups sensitivity you pick in Settings now sticks — auto-calibration no longer quietly overrides your choice. - Fixed: Siri Shortcuts now work while Flick is already open; Exact Duplicates on iCloud-only libraries no longer shrink after a momentary network hiccup. - Background analysis is more efficient: eliminated repeated metadata reads and repeated clustering during scans, so long scans use less battery. ### 1.4.0 — 2026-07-09 - Flick's free plan changed: the 7-day trial is gone. Scanning, Smart Groups, previews and staging photos in the Trash are now free forever — and you can confirm deletion for up to 20 photos or 100 MB at no cost. Past that, one lifetime purchase unlocks unlimited cleanup across iPhone, iPad and Mac, with Family Sharing. Already own Flick Pro? Nothing changes for you. - No more guessing at the limit: the unlock screen spells out the full free allowance and exactly how much you have left. - Visually Similar groups now tune themselves. Flick was always designed to calibrate its similarity threshold against bursts from your own library, but a cache-lookup bug made that calibration silently fail every time. Fixed — the threshold now adapts to how you actually shoot, and Smart Groups shows a calibration badge once it lands. - Steadier analysis: fixed a rare timing issue where the library changing just as a scan wrapped up (common during iCloud sync) could scramble the progress display or start two overlapping scans. - Removed the "Only process photos downloaded to this device" switch in Settings — it never actually did anything. It'll be back when the real feature ships. ### 1.3.2 — 2026-06-15 - Tap a card while swiping to see the whole photo full-screen. Long screenshots, wide shots and panoramas no longer show just the cropped center strip — the full image fills the screen, scrolls along its long edge, and pinches to zoom. Keep / Delete are right there, so you decide the moment you recognize it. - Ignore groups you want to keep. Long-press a group card and pick "Ignore This Group" — similar-photo groups where every shot is a keeper stop squatting in your list. Restore anytime from Settings; a group returns by itself when new photos join it. - Redesigned swipe screen: the photo card is about a quarter taller on iPhone, and progress lives in one capsule up top — ring, percent and remaining in a glance. Tap it to jump to Stats. - "Rebuild Groups" replaces "Rescan All Photos": re-clusters with your current settings and only analyzes new or edited photos — seconds instead of minutes. - Faster, steadier analysis: fixed iCloud libraries getting stuck on "Analyzing…" / Smart Groups stalled at 0; swipe cards and Trash thumbnails no longer fail to load during a background scan; group cards no longer flicker in and out; and progress numbers are honest. ## More apps by 荟 马 - [Shellby: SSH Client & Terminal](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/shellby-ssh-client-and-terminal/id6786177565) All apps by 荟 马: https://appshunter.io/developer/1859998670 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
