Your photo library is full, and most of what is filling it is not worth keeping. Photodrift shows you one pile of clutter at a time. Swipe left to delete it, swipe right to keep it, and watch the gigabytes come back. Most people free 5-15 GB in their first session, in a few minutes, without opening a single settings screen. No ads. Not one, not between swipes, not on a timer. No account to create, and no subscription - the free tier is a working app, not a trial. WHAT IT FINDS • Duplicates - byte-identical copies and re-saves • Near-duplicates - burst shots, and the ten photos you took of the same sunset • Blurry shots - out-of-focus images, detected on-device with Apple's Vision framework • Screenshots - grouped by what they actually show, so a pile of the same screen clears in one swipe • Videos - every clip, labelled small, medium or large for YOUR library, and playable right on the card HOW IT WORKS 1. Open Photodrift. It starts finding cleanup candidates in under two seconds. 2. Swipe left on what you don't need, right on what you do. 3. Tap any card to open the group and pick the sharpest keeper yourself. 4. Hit Done. Everything you deleted lands in Photos > Recently Deleted, where you have 30 days to change your mind. Nothing is ever destroyed on the spot. NOTHING LEAVES YOUR PHONE There is no account to create, no server to trust and no analytics. Every photo is analysed on-device with Apple's Vision framework, which also means Photodrift works in airplane mode. The App Store privacy label reads "Data Not Collected", and that is the whole story. PAY ONCE, IF YOU EVER PAY AT ALL Finding and deleting exact duplicates is free, with no swipe limit, no timer and no ads interrupting the job. One purchase - once, not monthly, not yearly - adds near-duplicates, blurry shots, screenshots and videos. Most apps in this category charge by the week, forever. Photodrift asks once, for less than a couple of weeks of what they charge, and then never asks again. No subscription. Ever. BUILT FOR iOS Native SwiftUI, with haptics on every swipe, a live "freed X GB" counter, and a share card for when the number is worth showing someone. Works on iPhone and iPad. Available in 17 languages: English, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese (Brazil), Italian, Polish, Czech, Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, Finnish, Hungarian, Romanian, Greek, Russian and Ukrainian. Photodrift needs access to your photo library in order to scan it and delete on your behalf. That is the only permission it asks for, and it asks before it reads anything. — Questions? support@suprun.ca ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: Free. **One-time purchases** | Purchase | Price | Type | | --- | --- | --- | | Photodrift Unlock | $9.99 | one-time | ## Version history (last 5 releases) ### 1.6.0 — 2026-08-30 Photodrift now speaks your language — 17 of them. • The app is fully translated into 17 languages: English, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese (Brazil), Italian, Polish, Czech, Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, Finnish, Hungarian, Romanian, Greek, Russian and Ukrainian. Not machine output — every system term is matched to Apple's own wording, so "Recently Deleted" means the place you will actually find in Photos, and counts read correctly in languages where the number changes the noun. • Swiping a video is no longer blocked by the playback controls. The caption and timecodes now pass your thumb straight through to the card, so a swipe that starts low still swipes. • Choosing a playback speed does something you can see: it starts playing at the new speed instead of quietly remembering it. And speeds a clip cannot actually play are shown as unavailable rather than silently dropping back to 2x. As always: nothing is deleted until you confirm, everything stays recoverable for 30 days in Photos, and it all runs on your device — no account, no uploads. If Photodrift freed up space for you, a rating genuinely helps other people find it — there's a Rate row in Settings. ### 1.5.0 — 2026-08-25 Videos, and screenshots that finally group properly. • Videos — every clip in your library, each labelled small, medium or large against YOUR library rather than some fixed number. Opens newest first; switch to largest or smallest whenever you like. Plays right on the card at up to 8x, so a long clip takes seconds to judge. Part of the one-time unlock. • Screenshots now group by what they actually show, instead of in arbitrary batches. And since a pile of the same screen is usually all clutter, the group clears in one swipe — tap in first if you want to rescue one. • The share card is clean once you have bought the unlock. As always: nothing is deleted until you confirm, everything stays recoverable for 30 days in Photos, and it all runs on your device — no account, no uploads. If Photodrift freed up space for you, a rating genuinely helps other people find it — there's a Rate row in Settings. ### 1.4.0 — 2026-08-20 The free version no longer stops you mid-cleanup. • No swipe limit. Finding and deleting exact duplicates is free, start to finish — no cap, no timer, no ads interrupting the job. • The paywall shows your store's real price, not a US one. • Fixed: the results screen could show a headline number that disagreed with the breakdown underneath it. • Faster swiping in very large libraries. As always: nothing is deleted until you confirm, everything stays recoverable for 30 days in Photos, and it all runs on your device — no account, no uploads. If Photodrift freed up space for you, a rating genuinely helps other people find it — there's a Rate row in Settings. ### 1.3.0 — 2026-08-10 New in Photodrift: • Smoother cleanup — swipe through everything in one chronological stream, newest first, across all categories at once. • Now also available in Spanish, joining German, French, and Brazilian Portuguese. As always: nothing is deleted until you confirm, everything stays recoverable for 30 days in Photos, and it all runs on your device — no account, no uploads. Thanks for cleaning up with Photodrift! If Photodrift freed up space for you, a rating helps other people find it — there's now a Rate row in Settings. ### 1.2.0 — 2026-06-13 New in Photodrift: • Now available in German, French, and Brazilian Portuguese. • Sharper blur detection — fewer good photos flagged, better at catching the truly out-of-focus ones. • A fresh app icon. • Includes the 1.1.1 stability fix: no more rare freeze when scanning large libraries stored in iCloud. As always: nothing is deleted until you confirm, everything stays recoverable for 30 days in Photos, and it all runs on your device — no account, no uploads.
