Tidy up your camera roll, one month at a time. Sweep groups your photos and videos by the month they were taken and shows them one at a time. Swipe right to keep, swipe left to mark for deletion. That's the whole idea. WHAT YOU CAN DO • See your photos and videos grouped by month, with how many are left to sort in each • Swipe right to keep, left to mark for deletion (buttons work too) • Switch to a grid view to pick several at once • Photos and videos you keep won't show up again next time • Review everything before deleting — you can put items back until you confirm • Videos show their length (videos don't play inside the app) • Add a note to a photo. After you use the Share Sheet, the note text is copied to your clipboard so you can paste it where you need it. ABOUT DELETING (PLEASE READ) • Deleted items stay in "Recently Deleted" for 30 days and can be restored from the Photos app. Storage is freed only after they are removed from there • If iCloud Photos is on, deletions sync to all your devices signed in with the same Apple ID • If a photo is in a Shared Library, it may also be removed from other participants' devices • Deleting the main photo of a burst deletes every photo in that burst PRIVACY • Sweep shows and sorts your photos and videos on your device. Sweep does not send your photos, videos or notes to us or to any external server, and we do not receive them through the app. • If you use the Share button, your photo or video goes to the app or person you choose. How it is handled there is up to them. • Photos stored only in iCloud may be downloaded by your iPhone so they can be shown. • No account needed. No ads. PRICE: Free. No ads.
