Make room for more memories, one photo at a time. Siftello turns a crowded photo library into small, manageable sorting sessions. Choose the photos you want to keep, set aside the ones you might delete, and come back to the maybes when you are ready. Sort 5 photos a day for free. Siftello Premium removes the daily limit. Available plans and prices are shown in the app before purchase. THREE SIMPLE CHOICES Swipe right to keep a photo. Swipe left to add it to Review. Swipe up to decide later. Prefer buttons? Use Keep, Delete, and Later instead. A left swipe does not delete a photo from your library. START WITH A SMALL SESSION Choose 10, 25, or 50 photos, or work through the whole collection. Browse recent photos, months, All Photos, and accessible albums to find a place to start. REVIEW BEFORE YOU DELETE Open the review grid, preview photos at full size, and adjust your selection. Only the photos you select are included in the final deletion request. Siftello asks you to confirm before requesting removal from your photo library. PICK UP WHERE YOU LEFT OFF Your collection progress and review queue are saved on your device. Take a break and return to the same cleanup later. Undo a recent sorting choice while you are in a session. YOUR PHOTOS STAY WITH YOU Siftello processes your library on your device and does not upload your photos. There is no Siftello account to create. Optional usage analytics and crash and performance reports are off by default; you can change these choices in Settings. Store and purchase services process the information needed to provide paid access. MAKE IT FEEL LIKE YOUR APP Choose light, dark, or system appearance, pick an accent palette, and adjust haptics, photo details, and swipe hints. ON iPHONE AND iPAD Confirmed deletions use the system photo-library flow. Deleted photos go to Photos' Recently Deleted album; storage may not be reclaimed immediately. Siftello respects the photo access you grant, including limited access. PREMIUM ACCESS Siftello supports monthly and yearly auto-renewing subscriptions and a lifetime one-time purchase, where offered. The available plans, localized prices, billing period, and any eligible introductory offer are displayed before purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled through your Apple account before the store's renewal deadline. Manage or cancel a subscription in your Apple subscription settings, accessible from the app. Lifetime does not renew. Use Restore purchases to restore eligible purchases from your store account.
