Roll is a photo curation app. Not a cleanup app. Most apps in this corner of the App Store want to delete things for you. Roll doesn't. It finds the spots in your library where letting go is easy, and lets you decide — one tap at a time. No auto-delete. No streaks. No countdowns. WHAT ROLL FINDS • Similar series — bursts, near-identical scenes and true duplicates from your whole library. Roll picks the strongest shot and says why: sharper focus, eyes open, balanced exposure. • Screenshots & short-lived — boarding passes, receipts, parking spots. Useful for a week, forgotten for years. Roll knows the difference between a screenshot worth keeping and one that expired. • Weak shots — blurry, too dark, eyes closed. The photos you'd never miss, gathered so you can let them go in one pass. HOW ROLL WORKS One queue. One surface. Tap to keep or let go — nothing is deleted until you commit, everything lands in Recently Deleted for 30 days, and every commit can be undone on the spot. Roll pre-selects only where quality is genuinely measurable, and explains its pick in one line. Everywhere else it stays quiet and leaves the choice to you. HOW ROLL RESPECTS YOU Your photos and everything Roll knows about them stay on this iPhone. The only network traffic is App Store purchases — your photo data is never part of it. Apple Photos stays the source of truth. Favorites and album photos are protected from discard. ONE-TIME PURCHASE — NO SUBSCRIPTION Roll is free to try — let go of up to 50 photos on the house. Viewing and keeping are always free. When you're ready for more, unlock everything with a single purchase. • Roll Lifetime — $14.99 once (founders price). Every future update. Family Sharing.

ONE QUEUE The Curate tab is now a single queue. Roll finds the spots in your library where letting go is easy — similar series, screenshots & short-lived shots, weak shots — and lines them up as stacks. One tap to open the next one. ONE SURFACE Every stack opens the same way: tap to keep or let go, expand to compare, one button to commit. Roll pre-selects only when it can genuinely tell the difference — and says why, right on the screen. Everywhere else, your call. ONE SAFETY NET Nothing leaves your library until you commit. Every commit shows an undo, and everything you let go sits in Recently Deleted for 30 days. After the update, Roll re-reads your library once — the queue fills while it runs. Your favorites and albums stay protected, as always. You decide. Roll just makes your library make sense. ### 1.3.1 — 2026-07-09 What's new in 1.3: Themed collections that make sense. Roll now recognises 35+ more kinds of photos people actually save: Menus, Posters, Business Cards, Calendars, Printed Notes, plus Kitchens, Bedrooms, Living Rooms, Exhibitions, Coins, Stamps, Trading Cards, Antiques, Watches, Jewelry, Bags, Shoes, Vinyl Records, Album Covers, Stickers, Succulents, Mushrooms, Bonsai, Herbs, Bees, Reptiles, Rabbits, Sheep, Cattle, Guitars, Pianos, Skateboards, Surfboards, Snow Sports, Toys, Building Blocks. Themed collections now open with everything kept by default. You build albums forward, not delete backward. Fullscreen decisions without dismissing. Tap a photo's L-tick to enter fullscreen. Native iOS page-swipe walks you through the whole set. Bottom action bar — Keep · Set aside · Delete — taps in, photo recolours immediately to confirm. Cluster grid finally readable. Roll's suggested-discard photos used to be blurred. Now they stay sharp and slightly faded so you can actually evaluate the recommendation. Mass triage in Quick Cleanup. 4-column scan grid, 16-24 photos per screen. Dismissable banner. Editorial inline picker. Compare animation back, native swipe. The cross-bucket slide is fixed; the within-bucket swipe is now native iOS. First scan, on-device. Roll indexes your library while the app is open — leave and it resumes right where it left off, no starting over. Smaller polish: auto-advance jumps to the spatially next stack. All tooltips manually dismissable. Theme buttons match heights. The ?-icon is white in the toolbar. Heart on favorites moved to bottom-right. 10 new languages live: French, Japanese, Spanish, Italian, Korean, Simplified Chinese, Brazilian Portuguese, Dutch, Swedish, Polish. Still 100 % on your iPhone. Still no auto-delete. You decide, one tap at a time. ### 1.3.0 — 2026-06-12 What's new in 1.3: Themed collections that make sense.
