## What is Winnow?

Keep the memories. Let the clutter go.

Winnow helps you sort your camera roll one photo at a time. Swipe left to keep, right to set aside. A swipe never deletes a photo.

FREE TO KEEP SORTING
Review photos and videos without swipe limits, timers or ads. Start with a month, an album, your largest files, or a random set. Undo a choice and pick up where you left off.

ONE PURCHASE. YOURS FOREVER.
Unlock every result in three smart Sweeps: similar shots and bursts, blurry photos, and photographs of receipts and paper. Pay once, with no subscription or recurring charge. Review a free preview before deciding.

Screenshots, screen recordings and big videos stay free, along with manual sorting, albums, undo and deletion.

YOU CHOOSE WHAT GOES
Review your selected photos before asking iOS to delete them. Large selections are processed in batches, each with Apple's confirmation. Winnow reports confirmed removals and explains Recently Deleted, where photos can remain recoverable for up to 30 days.

Similar-shot groups always keep a survivor. Nothing in a Sweep starts selected. Suggestions can be wrong, so the final choice stays with you.

A PLACE FOR YOUR KEEPERS
With full photo access, file into your existing Photos albums or create one. With selected-photo access, swipe up to mark a favorite instead.

START WITH SAMPLE PHOTOS
Practice Keep, Let go and Undo before granting photo access. You can replay the practice from your profile.

YOUR PHOTOS STAY ON YOUR IPHONE
Photo analysis runs on your device. Winnow does not upload photos, album names, photo identifiers or recognition labels. No Winnow account is needed.

Purchases are handled by Apple and RevenueCat. Optional app-usage and purchase-flow analytics go to PostHog EU under a random installation identifier. Turn them off in Profile under Help improve Winnow. A separate Improve sorting switch is off by default. Enable it to share numeric quality scores and Sweep feedback with our server, without photos or photo identifiers.

WRITE TO US
Profile > Write to us opens a conversation with the person who makes Winnow, and the answer appears on that same screen. No account, no ticket number. Nothing is sent unless you write.

ABOUT STORAGE
File sizes describe your library, not guaranteed space recovered on this iPhone. Estimates are marked with ≈. Removing a photo from your library does not immediately reclaim its storage, especially while it remains in Recently Deleted.

LIFETIME ACCESS
Sweeps Lifetime Access is an optional one-time in-app purchase. It permanently unlocks unlimited use of similar-shot and burst groups, blurry-photo results, and receipt/paper results. Manual sorting and the free Sweeps remain available without a purchase.

This purchase has no expiry date, no automatic renewal and no recurring fees. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The local price is displayed before you confirm; prices may vary by region.

If you reinstall Winnow or move to another iPhone, restore your lifetime access using the same Apple Account: Profile > Purchases > Restore purchases. Family Sharing is supported.
