Not all displays for Mac are well suited to display the user interface in a non-scaled resolution. A pixel density of about 110 pixels per inch (PPI) for non-Retina, and about 220 PPI for Retina is comfortable for most people. Use Retinal to work out the pixel density of any display.

Hitting your iCloud storage limit or worse, your phone storage limit can be the worst feeling, Gallery Glide is here to make going through your most costly photos and videos a breeze, while also giving you a chance to look back on some memories! Gallery Glide groups your photos and videos into galleries, these galleries are months, and special galleries, like On This Day, which show you photos taken on that day over all the years. These galleries can be easily cleaned by gliding through, making the cleaning process fun and rewarding! Tap into a gallery and you can instantly delete duplicates, then get gliding, either by date taken or biggest size first. This allows you to easily get rid of the biggest items in your library if you're extra short on time. Dragging up marks the photo for deletion and you can empty the trash at any time! The gliding experience feels extremely natural, with controls aimed to give you a smooth experience that feels bouncy and fun! There's a Home Screen Widget to add that serves you a random image taken from the current day across all years, so you can relive your mom's birthday, an anniversary or maybe get a subtle reminder to remove those pictures of your ex. Gallery Glide has no ads, and collects no data from you, with ZERO third party attachments. Gallery glide follows Apple's standard EULA, found here https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
