## What is Sift?

Too many photos? Sift helps you find the ones taking up space for no reason.
Free to use. Pay once if you want batch actions. Yours forever.

Set a few filters (media type, age, file size) and Sift surfaces the matches in seconds. Old screenshots from 2019. That 4K video you never watched. Burst photos you forgot existed.

Once you've got results, you decide what to do with them.

SWIPE THROUGH (FREE) Full-screen cards, one at a time. Swipe right to keep, left to toss. Take your time. No limits, no paywall.

BATCH MODE (PRO) Select a bunch at once. Delete them all in one tap, or export to an external drive, NAS, or iCloud folder. One-time purchase, no subscription.

WHAT SIFT DOES 
• Filter by media type (photos, videos, or both) 
• Filter by age (older than X months or years) 
• Filter by file size (larger than X MB or GB) • Smart filters: screenshots, screen recordings, Live Photos, bursts 
• Sort results by size, date, or type
• See exactly how much storage you'd free up 
• Export files to any location via the Files app 
• Works on iPhone and iPad

WHAT SIFT DOESN'T DO 
• No account required
• No internet required
• No uploads, no servers, no tracking
• No subscription
• Nothing leaves your device
• Does not make coffee (bummer, IKR)

Sift reads your photo library locally. That's it. No network calls, no face analysis, no data sold.
