Your phone is full, and everything on it is a memory. Sweepr is a swipe photo cleaner for people who don't want to lose anything: swipe away what you don't want, compress what you want to keep, and free space on your iPhone either way. SWIPE LEFT TO DELETE, RIGHT TO KEEP One photo at a time, full screen. Swipe left to delete, right to keep, and undo the last swipe whenever you change your mind. Left swipes wait in a trash at the top of the deck, so nothing leaves your camera roll until you confirm once. Sweep a day, a month, a whole year, or just the screenshots. Sweepr remembers what you have already reviewed, so you never see the same photo twice. COMPRESS INSTEAD OF DELETING Some shots are too good to delete and too heavy to keep. Compress them instead: the new copy stays at full resolution, with the same date, the same place and the same album, and only the file gets lighter. Video keeps its place in your library at the quality and frame rate you pick. An iPhone records 4K at roughly 350 MB a minute, so the same minute at 1080p is a fraction of that. The heavy original moves to Recently Deleted, where iOS keeps it for 30 days. FIND DUPLICATE PHOTOS Bursts, near-identical frames, the same picture saved twice from a chat. Sweepr groups duplicates and similar shots side by side, so you keep the best one and clear the rest in a single action. TRIM LONG VIDEOS Cut the dead minutes off a long clip and the trimmed copy takes the original's place. Long video is usually the single heaviest thing in a camera roll. FILTER WHAT YOU CLEAN Photos, videos, screen recordings, screenshots, selfies, Live Photos, duplicates, your largest videos, or any album. Start with screenshots for the fastest win: they pile up quietly and almost nobody misses them. SEE WHAT YOU FREED Storage freed, photos kept, photos deleted, videos trimmed, days in a row. Charts and an activity map show where the space actually went. IT KEEPS WORKING WHILE YOU DON'T Compression and trimming carry on in the background, with progress on the home screen, in the Dynamic Island and on the lock screen. BUILT TO BE SAFE Nothing leaves your device. No account, no cloud, no upload of your library. Deleted photos land in Recently Deleted, so iOS keeps them for 30 days and you can bring anything back. Compression always writes the new copy before the original is moved. And to be clear about what Sweepr is not: it does not clean cache, junk files or viruses, it cannot recover photos you deleted before, and it does not edit your pictures. It sorts, deletes, compresses and trims what is already in your library. SWEEPR PRO Free: a weekly allowance of swipes, and the full library view. Pro: unlimited swipes, photo and video compression, duplicate scanning, video trimming, and full statistics with charts and streaks. One subscription, no ads, no per-photo fees. Gigabytes back in minutes, without losing a memory. Sweepr speaks 37 languages and works on iPhone with iOS 17 or later.

A HOME SCREEN THAT SHOWS THE WHOLE LIBRARY Instead of one endless deck, the home screen is now a catalogue: photos, screenshots, videos and screen recordings, by day, month and year, plus your albums, your largest videos and your duplicates. Swipe a day, a month, a whole year, or everything. THE DECK GOT A TRASH Left swipes no longer vanish one by one. They wait at the top of the deck, you get a single confirmation on the way out, and you can put anything back before it goes. COMPRESS AND TRIM, IN THE BACKGROUND Compress heavy photos and videos, cut the dead minutes off a long clip, and send the heavy original to the trash. Progress shows on the home screen, in the Dynamic Island and on the lock screen, and the work carries on while you do something else. DUPLICATES AND SIMILAR SHOTS Exact copies and near-identical bursts, side by side, with the best one already suggested. You choose what stays. TOTALS WORTH READING How much you have freed, kept and deleted, a streak, an activity map, and a card you can share. A NEW LOOK, BUILT FOR THE DARK A deep observatory background, a full set of icons drawn for Sweepr, and flat SF Pro type. Easier on the eyes at midnight, when most of the sweeping happens. 37 LANGUAGES Ten before, thirty-seven now, right-to-left included. FASTER ON LARGE LIBRARIES Paged loading, background indexing and thumbnails that no longer block scrolling. Twenty thousand photos feel the same as two hundred. Thank you for every swipe. If something is missing, write to us from Settings. ### 1.2.0 — 2026-08-28 This is the biggest update Sweepr has ever had. COMPRESS INSTEAD OF DELETING A second deck, for the photos that are too big to keep and too good to lose. Swipe right to compress, left to keep as is. Sweepr saves a full-resolution copy with the same date, place, and album, and sends the heavy original to Recently Deleted. HEIC or JPEG, three quality levels, and a size threshold you set yourself. If compressing would save less than 10 percent, Sweepr tells you the photo is already optimal instead of pretending it saved you something. VIDEO COMPRESSION Pick a smaller size and a frame rate: the same as the original, 30 fps, or 24 fps. The video stays where it is, only lighter. BROWSE THE WHOLE LIBRARY By month, by day, and by album: Favorites, Selfies, Portrait, Live Photos, Bursts, Panoramas, Long Exposure, Animated, Recently Added, and your own albums. Photos, Screenshots, and Videos now have their own sections, each with a live count of what is still left to review. STATISTICS, REBUILT Charts by Days, Weeks, Months, and Years. Long-press any bar to see the exact numbers for that period. Streaks, space freed, and delete rate. LIFETIME Pro is now available as a one-time purchase, not only as a subscription. SEVEN MORE LANGUAGES Sweepr now speaks 10: English, German, Spanish, French, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese (Brazil), Russian, Ukrainian, and Simplified Chinese. "SELECTED PHOTOS" EXPLAINED If you gave Sweepr access to only some of your photos, a banner now spells out what that costs you: in that mode iOS will not let the app delete anything. One tap takes you to the fix. A NEW LOOK Ink and paper. The interface stepped back so your photos are the only color on the screen. MUCH FASTER ON BIG LIBRARIES The browse screen now opens right away instead of freezing, no matter how many photos you have. FIXES Fixed undo, the deletion queue, and counts that didn't always match what actually opened. ### 1.0.3 — 2026-04-12 Bug fixes ### 1.0.2 — 2026-04-11 Bug fixes ### 1.0.1 — 2026-03-10 bug fix ## More apps by Davyd Hruts - [Tea Master: Gongfu Tea Timer](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/tea-master-gongfu-tea-timer/id6751961554) - [MultiOpen](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/multiopen/id6753165945) All apps by Davyd Hruts: https://appshunter.io/developer/1837715424 ## Related topics [clean up iphone photos](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/clean-up-iphone-photos) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
