Really the best photo picker

This is an incredibly useful tool for my birding photography! It allows me to sort through thousands of nearly identical burst photos with confidence. I recommend using it with an external keyboard on iPad, since it has extensive support for keyboard shortcuts (which you can find in the menu bar)

Just what I needed

Honestly, this app is just a godsend to me. For the last couple of years I’ve been shooting series of photos hoping that sometime later I would find the best shot and delete the others. But that time never comes apparently…

Now my paid iCloud is almost full, so I’ve tried to find an app tho help me and here it is! And it’s everything I could’ve asked for. It’s offline (I’ve tried it with airplane mode and works perfectly), no AI bullocks, looks good, does exactly what I want.

Apparently there are even no ads which is a shame because the person behind the app doesn’t get anything from it. Then it’s just an enormous “thank you” from me!

Great tool, encourages clean photo library

I just wish it had the ability to ignore a group of photos. Sometimes I want to keep a few very similar photos!

Response from developer

Hi ChicagoLK, Thanks for the feedback! We just released Photoscope 1.3 with (native) iPad support. Contact us at any time with feedback via hello@leitmotif.dev. If you like the new update, we'd also love to see an updated review and rating. :) Cheers, Florian Co-Founder at Leitmotif

Bars on Candidate Photo

Can you let me hide the bars on the candidate photo when I’m judging a candidate. Can’t get a holistic view of a candidate photo with the bars right on top of the candidate

Great!

Just great! There are simply no analogues for "maniacs of order". The "ignore series" button is missing, otherwise it's great!

FAQ

What does Photoscope do?

Photoscope scans your photo library to find series of nearly identical images, such as burst shots or multiple photos of the same scene. It then provides a guided comparison tool to help you easily select the best photo to keep and delete the rest, organizing your library and freeing up storage.

How does Photoscope help me choose the best photo?

The app presents similar photos in a side-by-side comparison view, making it simple to spot subtle differences. This guided process allows you to make informed decisions about which shot best captures the moment or subject, rather than just deleting duplicates.

Is Photoscope free to use?

Yes, the app is completely free to use, with no subscriptions or limits on its functionality. While the app description mentions it's free, it also indicates it has ads, suggesting a 'free with in-app purchases' or 'ad-supported' model. However, the description explicitly states 'Completely free - no subscriptions or limits'.

What devices is Photoscope compatible with?

Photoscope is available for iPhone, iPad, and Apple Vision Pro devices. It works completely offline and does not require any cloud uploads, ensuring your photos remain private and secure on your device.

Who would benefit most from using Photoscope?

This app is ideal for anyone with a large collection of photos, especially those who frequently take burst shots, multiple pictures of the same subject during travel, or portrait sessions. It's designed for users overwhelmed by thousands of 'almost duplicate' photos who want to curate their memories efficiently.
