## What is Photo Margin?

Photo Margin is a local-first photo library organizer for iPhone.

Separate new arrivals from older items and review photos and videos in batches by type, month, date or album. Reviewed and protected items stay out of unreviewed lists. Results are candidates for your review; you always decide what to keep.

Features:
• On-device processing: no photos or videos are uploaded to the developer's servers
• Compare duplicate and similar photos side by side, in batches of up to five groups
• Swipe up to protect photos and videos; manage protection in Settings
• Review older screenshots in batches and sort large videos by file size
• Swipe left to set an item aside for deletion, right to keep it, or tap the buttons
• Zoom photos, play videos and restore candidates in the pending deletion list
• Pause and resume analysis, with clear iCloud and read-failure feedback
• Confirm final deletion through iOS

Free and Pro:
• Free: unlimited scanning and keeping, plus 30 items per rolling 24 hours into the To delete list
• 7-day free trial: you start it, it ends on its own; nothing is charged or renewed
• Photo Margin Pro: unlimited review with a yearly subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase
• Subscriptions renew automatically through Apple and can be cancelled anytime in Settings → Apple Account → Subscriptions

No account or registration is required. Photo Margin does not create a cloud photo library. You control access through the system Photos permission. If an asset is stored in iCloud, iOS may download it for display or playback.

English and Simplified Chinese interfaces follow your device or app language.
