## What is Sievr?

Free up gigabytes in minutes. Sievr scans your photo library, groups your near-duplicate photos, and picks the best shot in every group — so you can clean up the rest with one tap.

Burst shots, retakes, slightly different angles of the same scene — Sievr's AI groups them, scores each one for sharpness, faces, lighting, and lens smudges, and recommends which one to keep. You glance at the group, accept the pick (or override it), and move on. A 10,000-photo library cleans up in a single sitting.

Pinch to zoom in on any photo to verify your keep / trash call at pixel detail. Manage your subscription right inside Sievr. Smarter, friendlier paywall — the right tier leads each moment. Cleaner album exclusion list. Bigger fixes:
• Pinch-to-zoom in cluster detail — swipe to next photo once you're back at 1×
• Manage Subscription opens straight from Settings
• Tap "Trust Sievr" and the review counter actually drops to zero
• Album picker now groups your albums and the system's smart albums separately
• Scan failed? You'll get an Open Settings or Try Again button right there
• Delete all your scan data from Settings without uninstalling the app
• Subtler returning-user paywall — only after you've actually been around
• Quieter onboarding — dead demo page removed, permission state refreshes when you come back from iOS Settings

### 1.2.0 — 2026-05-05

Sievr now starts with a quick scan of your most recent photos so you can see what's worth cleaning in seconds — free.
• Scan, see clusters, and review AI-picked best shots without paying a cent
• New: a 3-day free trial of Sievr Pro to clean up the photos you've reviewed
• New: a one-time lifetime purchase if you'd rather pay once and keep it forever
• Existing Sievr Pro buyers keep their lifetime access automatically — no action needed

v1.1.1

A refreshed upgrade screen that says what you actually unlock in plain terms — and reminds you that your photos never leave your phone. After your first cleanup, a small celebratory moment invites you to keep going, library after library. Restore Purchases and legal links now live right on the upgrade screen itself. Bulk select and cleanup reports are now visible to everyone, so you can see what Sievr Pro adds before you decide. After upgrading, a quick 2-step welcome shows you where your new features live. Plus a success haptic on upgrade, faster unlock when you restore from another device, and better layout at larger Dynamic Type sizes.
