## What is Similaritet?

Similaritet is a 100% free app that helps you clean up your photo library by finding photos that look alike, grouping them together, and making it easier to decide what to keep.

Whether you have bursts, repeated shots, near-duplicates, or several versions of the same scene, Similaritet scans your library on your device and organizes similar photos into simple review groups.

Review at your own pace: swipe through groups one photo at a time, or manually select the photos you want to remove. Every deletion goes through a review queue first, so nothing is removed by accident.

Everything runs locally on your iPhone. Your photos are not uploaded, collected, or sent anywhere.

Features:

- Find visually similar photos, near-duplicates, and repeated shots
- Match by subject, or the same people across different angles
- Review groups by swiping, or by manually selecting photos to remove
- Favorites from the Photos app are automatically protected from deletion
- See suggested photos to keep in every group
- Review your Deletion Queue before anything is permanently deleted
- Fine-tune matching by strictness, date/time, and location
- Color blind mode for clearer status colors
- Re-scan or re-index your library any time
- Private, on-device photo analysis

Similaritet is built for people who take lots of photos and want a calmer, cleaner photo library without manually scrolling through thousands of images.


## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.3 — 2026-07-22

21 Jul 2026

- New Swipe mode! Swipe through your photo groups one at a time to decide what to keep or delete — a whole new way to review, alongside Manual select
- Much faster indexing on large libraries, thanks to analyzing photos in parallel
- Refreshed the look with Apple's new Liquid Glass design on iOS 26 and later
- Photos marked as a Favorite in the Photos app are now automatically protected and shown with a star when reviewing a group, instead of just a single suggested photo.
- New Color Blind Mode (Settings → Accessibility) swaps the red/green status colors for blue/teal
- Groups can now be hidden manually, in case you have any groups you don't want to review

### 1.2 — 2026-07-10

09 Jul 2026

Two new features that can be toggled on or off in Settings:
- When selecting photos for the deletion queue from a group, the group containing the photos (even if it contains more than 2 near-duplicates and you only mark one for deletion) will be removed, indicating that you are done reviewing said group. You can get the group containing the rest of the photos by re-indexing your library.
- When using the «Keep suggested» button, the group containg the photo(s) you chose to keep is removed, indicating that you are done reviewing said group. You can get the group containing the rest of the photos by re-indexing your library.

### 1.1 — 2026-07-04

- Photos you choose to remove now go into a Deletion Queue for one final review before anything is deleted — with the option to move photos back to their group instead
- Favorited photos (in the Photos app) are now automatically protected from deletion suggestions
- For near-identical photos, the app will suggest to keep the photo with the highest resolution (only for duplicates and near-duplicates)

### 1.0 — 2026-06-24
