## What is PhotoTidy?

PhotoTidy turns clearing out your photo library into a quick, satisfying daily habit on iPhone and iPad. Find duplicates, look-alike shots and blurry photos in seconds, or go through your photos one at a time and decide with a tap: keep the ones you love, bin the ones you don't, and save the tricky ones for later.

NEW: DO NEXT
The top of Home always shows what to tidy next: This Day Over the Years, a set of Similar Photos or a Surprise Day. Tap it and go.

TAP TO TIDY
• Tap Keep, Bin or Later on each photo
• New: Six at a time, a grid where every photo stays kept until you tap it. Switch in Settings
• Swipe to browse back and forth without sorting anything
• Play, pause, scrub and mute videos while you sort
• Changed your mind? Undo brings photos back, one tap at a time
• Works with an iPad keyboard too: arrow keys keep, bin or skip
• Photos you've sorted stay sorted, so stop and come back any time

CLEAN UP
PhotoTidy scans your library for the photos you don't need:
• Duplicates: exact copies of the same photo
• Similar Photos: look-alike shots taken moments apart, side by side so you can keep your favorite
• Blurry Photos: shots that came out soft
• Open any photo in a set full size to spot the differences
• Every set starts with every photo kept, so just tap the extras to bin them
• Quick wins: screenshots, selfies and bursts
Scanning happens on your device, in the background and even overnight while charging, and PhotoTidy lets you know when it's done.

NEW: VIDEOS
• Quick Clips under 10 seconds, Short Videos up to a minute, and Long Videos, longest first
• Old Videos over 3 years old, Screen Recordings and Slo-mo

TIME MACHINE
Jump back to a moment and tidy it up:
• This Day Last Year, and This Day Over the Years, including today
• This Week Last Year and This Month Last Year
• Last Weekend, Last 7 Days and Last 30 Days
• Summer and the festive season
• Surprise Day, a random day from your past
• Every year in your library, and your own albums
• Keep a whole album in one tap with Keep All

A BIN THAT HAS YOUR BACK
Nothing is deleted while you tidy. Binned photos wait in the Bin, so you can look them over, restore any you want to keep, and delete the rest in one go. PhotoTidy shows how much space you'll free up, and deleted photos still go to Recently Deleted for 30 days.

MAKE IT A HABIT
• Daily streaks and a daily goal you choose
• 11 badges to collect, from Warming Up to Unstoppable
• Celebrations when you hit your goal
• An optional daily reminder that keeps your streak going
• Share a bright card of your progress, streak, a new badge or a tidy session

WIDGETS
• Streak widget for your Home Screen and Lock Screen, with today's goal
• New: Do Next widget with your next step, just like Home. Tap it to start tidying

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
PhotoTidy works on your device with Apple's Photos library. Your photos are never uploaded, and there are no accounts to create.

FREE TO USE
Everything in PhotoTidy is free for up to 100 photos a day: every collection, duplicates, similar and blurry photos, the Bin, streaks and badges. Choosing Later never counts towards the limit.

PHOTOTIDY PRO
Go Pro to tidy as much as you like with no daily limit, and clear a whole album in one tap with Bin All. It's a single one-time purchase with no subscription, and Family Sharing lets up to five family members use it too.
