## What is SwipeClean26?

Your camera roll is full. Finding the keepers shouldn't take all day.

SwipeClean26 groups your similar photos and videos, then lets you sort through them one swipe at a time — right to keep, left to delete. Fast, clear, done.

Smart Sort
SwipeClean26 automatically groups visually similar photos so you review them side by side. No manual searching. Just the ones worth comparing, already together.

Smart Keeper Picks
Every group highlights the photo worth keeping — chosen by resolution, sharpness, and more. Agree? Swipe on. Disagree? You're always in control.

Catch Blurry Shots
An updated on-device algorithm spots blurry, out-of-focus photos and gathers them into day-by-day groups, ranked from softest to sharpest — so the throwaway shots are the first thing you see.

Swipe to Decide
Swipe right to keep. Swipe left to delete. One photo at a time, at your own pace. Review a few or a few hundred — the interface stays out of your way.

Pick Up Where You Left Off
Cleaning a big library takes more than one sitting. SwipeClean26 remembers your progress, so the next session starts exactly where the last one ended.

Video Support
Cleaning up isn't just for photos. SwipeClean26 handles videos too, so you can clear out the blurry takes, accidental recordings, and duplicates you forgot you had.

Siri & Shortcuts
Start a cleanup or check how much space you've freed without opening the app. SwipeClean26 works with Siri and the Shortcuts app.

Home Screen Widget
See your cleanup progress and freed-up space at a glance, in small or medium size — with tinted and clear-glass styles that match your Home Screen.

iCloud Integration
Your iCloud library works seamlessly with SwipeClean26. Photos stored in the cloud are accessible right inside the app — no extra steps, no surprises.

Nothing Deleted Behind Your Back
Every deletion goes through your confirmation, and removed photos stay in the Photos app's Recently Deleted album for 30 days. Changed your mind? Get them back anytime.

100% On-Device. 100% Private.
SwipeClean26 never uploads your photos anywhere. All processing happens locally on your device. No account, no tracking, no ads. Your memories stay yours.

Speaks Your Language
SwipeClean26 is fully localized in English and Traditional Chinese (繁體中文).

One-Time Purchase. No Subscription.
Pay once. Keep the app forever. Future updates are free.

Reclaim your storage. Keep what matters.
